[SOLVED] Showtime hangs

Post by CMSmonkey »

Hi Everyone,
I upgraded a site from 1.9.4 to 1.11.8. I installed Showtime after the upgrade. When I attempt to add pictures to the show, the page just hangs in admin. If I try to go anywhere else in admin it will not load.

I checked my host's error log and I see the following error:

Code: Select all

	20131125T232402: www.halalrecipeexchange.com/admin/moduleinterface.php 
PHP Warning:  opendir(/mysite/uploads/images): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /mysite/modules/Showtime/lib.browsepictures.php on line 47 
PHP Warning:  readdir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /mysite/modules/Showtime/lib.browsepictures.php on line 49 
I checked my files and the lib.browsepictures.php file is in my directory. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the module.

Can anyone suggest how to resolve this issue?

Thanks.

Have you tried to clear the cache yet?

Because you have NOT deleted your /install directory I was able to do some checks.

You have a lot of checksum errors (Step 2 of the install process, it really is important to do that check).

Probably you've uploaded the new files via FTP and those files are corrupted in the process. I would suggest to set transfer mode of you FTP client to 'binary' and then upload all files again.

When finished, start the install and at least do the checksum test. If successful delete /install directory. Clear cache and check your admin again.

Further: did you follow upgrade steps as described?

Thanks for looking into it, velden.

This upgrade has been a bit more hectic then any of the other ones I have done for other CMSMS sites. I did the checksum and got a lot of files that failed. I use Dreamweaver to FTP and changed the FileExtensions file to upload everything via binary, but it still does some as ASCII. I also tried to do it through Cyberduck but I can't switch to binary.

Ironically, I do have another site running CMSMS 1.11.6 with almost the same checksum errors. It runs Showtime too but I don't have the issues like I have with this one. So I am a little stumped.

Any way, I will try to reinstall and hopefully try to get the files uploaded correctly. Afterwards, I will test out Showtime to see if it works.

Thanks again for your help.

OK - I finally got the files uploaded with the exception of one - the SITEDOWN under tmp/cache. Not sure why, but uploading from Dreamweaver, from the host or through the File Manager is not working. Any way, tried the Showtime module again and it is still not working. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Finally working!!!

Thank you for your help.

Don't upload the SITEDOWN, it puts your site in off-linemodus
