Re: Error message - nocache on install

stup · Post by **stup** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 11:16 am

I have a similar problem. Have done a few fresh installs and have made sure to change the relevant permissions prior to the install. The install appears to go smoothly but when I come to view the site I get nocache errors. Clearing the cache has the effect of causing an Internal Server Error when I try and view the site for the first time. The next time I view it, I'm back to the nocache error. This implies that something is being written to the cache.

The admin panel seems to work at first but when I use debug mode there are errors seemingly un MySQL select queries:

(mysqli): SELECT * FROM cms_userplugins - Error (0):
(mysqli): SELECT sitepref_name, sitepref_value from cms_siteprefs - Error (0):

...and so on...

I saw the post about GD libraries. Where should these be, and how can I get them?

Going a bit mad now but I feel there must be a fix. Any help greatly received $:-\$

For the record...

URL - www.eyes-down.net/bangers
MySQL version - 4.1.18-standard
PHP version - 5.0.5

If it was working before the upgrade it is more likely to be a plugin or module you havn't reinstalled after your upgrade, that is stil referenced by your site? Sometimes you can just get a blank page if this happens. It could of course be the other way around, a new plugin or module requires different parameters than the ones you have set? - Perhaps the menus?

Hope this at least gives you a starting point

Thanks Russ but this is a fresh install rather than a upgrade. Its a Linux box. I've installed CMSMS on a Linux box sucessfully before, but not this one. One thing which might be the cause - my MySQL environment forces a prefix to my database name. So when I create a database called cms it becomes eyesdown_cms. But I entered this info during the installation process anyway, and the admin panel works, so the database connection must be OK(ish).

Any other ideas?

Did you check you config.php is correct?
Try resetting the cache and sub directories to 777

I set the following to 777 prior to running the installer:

/tmp/templates_c/
/tmp/cache/
/uploads/
/uploads/images/
/modules/

Clearing the cache has the effect of giving a different error once, then the same 'nocache' errors afterwards. You will see what I mean here unless someone else gets there first..

Would it help to give you the admin password? My email is stuart@eyes-down.net if you want me to send it.

Thanks for your help.

Could you paste your config.php (without db passwords ofcourse)

Installer creates config out of servers information and sometimes that data might be wrong...

Here you go...

$config['dbms'] = 'mysqli';

Cant see anything wrong with the config...

It seems there is a "internel server terror" on the first view.. anything in the errorlogs?

ps. try the "chat" button above to join #cms on freenode, somewhat faster to talk on irc

Your mysql works - i can see the stylesheets
( http://www.eyes-down.net/bangers/styles ... mplateid=4 ).

But your contentcache.php in the folder /bangers/tmp/cache has 0 Bytes - it seems as the rights are not set well.

Russ · Post by **Russ** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 5:20 pm

You did say MySQL ?

Shouldn't this be $config['dbms'] = 'mysqli';

$config['dbms'] = 'mysql'; Note the 'l' not 'i' at the end?

Other very faint possibilities....
The underscore in 'public_html' paths or in the username 'eyesdown_cmsuser'???

Hope this helps,
Russ

@russ

Shouldn't this be $config['dbms'] = 'mysqli';

if you can see the stylesheets the database works and 60% of all cms code is loaded.

I have set the permissions on this file to 777. They were 644 although the folder was set to 777. No change in behaviour though.

The error log reads...

[28-Apr-2006 10:34:55] PHP Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0. in /home/eyesdown/public_html/bangers/lib/classes/class.content.inc.php on line 2010

Thanks for your help with this.

delete the file contentcache.php. the cms try to read this file because the name exists, but it has 0 bytes. if there is no file the cms creates a new one with contents.

stup · Post by **stup** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 11:00 am

I tried this. The first time I request the website homepage I get an internal server error. The second time I'm back to my standard nocache error. These 2 requests appear to be the actions which result in the lines from the error log which I have pasted above.

Piratos · Post by **Piratos** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 11:06 am

it looks like the cms has nothing to write, no values in the tables or so.
