Event plugin launcher.

[flatloop]

Hi guys (and gals) I'm new here in the forums, and I just want to say that I am very pleased with the functionality and the simplicity that you have programmed into your product.

Unfortunately I am having a problem right now, and I have no idea where to start troubleshooting. I have been adding an removing plugins from the 'configure plugins' section pretty heavily for the last few days. My installation is only 2 weeks old, so I'm still trying to find the right combination of tools that I like.

The problem started yesterday, after I installed and configured the backup plugin from SPARTICUS. Since then I have not been able to get into the Event Plugin launcher to add more plugins. I can still add and delete plugins from the Sidebar launcher, but not the Event launcher. When I click on the link to list the event plugins for installation, the page goes blank and nothing is displayed. I have to use the back button to get to the administration menu again. I've tried it from both Firefox and IE, both end up with the same result. Below is what is showing in the address bar of the browser.

Code: Select all

http://brianmpenn.isa-geek.com/serendipity/serendipity...
..._admin.php?serendipity[adminModule]=plugins&serendipity[admin...
...Action]=addnew&serendipity[type]=event

I broke it up so it will fit on screen nicely.

If you need any more detail, please let me know and I'll do my best to collect it.

Usually, a blank page means that a PHP Fatal Error has happened. Depending on your setup you should search your Webserver or PHP Error log and see what happens.

Most causes of that are either Memory errors or fatal require calls.

In either way, you can remove a plugin the "hard way" if you use a tool like phpMyAdmin and browse the serendipity_plugins DB table. There you can remove a plugin manually by deleting it from the table.

HTH,
Garvin

Above is a snippet of my apache2 error.log. The first 2 lines show that I rebooted the server, and then the first thing I did after the reboot was I tried to go to the event plugin install list. So you are right on with the memory issue it appears. That looks like an 8MB limit that is exhausted. When I installed last week, I made sure everthing was set to the recommended limits from the installer. Does this mean I need to bump something up? Please advise. It is appreciated.

Yes, if you use a lot of plugins (or have them on your drive), s9y needs more memory.

Can you refresh us for the newbies as to where we make this memory setting??

Thanks!

What worked for me is to change my php.ini file thusly...

Code: Select all

memory_limit = 12M
