Preg_match() warning when moving to a new server.

Post by HarmO »

Hi,

We needed a new VPS server and decided to use serverpilot.io to manage this VPS. our "old" VPS had a direct admin panel on Centos6 with php 5.4.33.
So when transfering our websites: i select php 5.4 in the serverpilot management Panel.

But after transferring database (UFT-8) and files (with tar/untar) i get the following message 8 times before outputting the websites HTML.
Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier 't' in /srv/users/username/apps/appname/public/lib/classes/class.CmsRoute.php on line 222
I can't seem to find the problem. A clean install with the same modules works great, but the transfer doesn't.
The only real difference that i can find is in the Server API: apache2handler(old server) vs fpm-fcgi(new server)

What goes wrong.
I would like to transfer about 15 websites to our new server.

Re: Preg_match() warning when moving to a new server.

The error does not occur on pages when the the content is generated by a module. Only on standard pages.

i aslo was able to suppers the error by adding the @ sign on line 222 of class.CmsRoute.php, but that is not a correct solution.

Please help...
Kind regards,

Obvious: clear cache in CMSMS admin

Check if PHP error_reporting is the same on both installs (maybe the warnings are just hidden on your old server)

Update Routes (same admin page as clear cache).

Create a checksum file in CMSMS admin of the 'orginal' install and use that to check on the 'failing' install.

Just to make sure that there aren't files corrupted during the migration.

Then - if you're altering core files anyway - temporarily add a line to print the values that are passed to the preg_match function.

Just BEFORE line 222:

Code: Select all

debug_display(sprintf('term: %s',$this->_data['term']));
Do this on both installs and compare output for same page(s).
You're searching for lines where 'term' ends like '/t'

Check if it differs between both installs. If it differs I'd expect the database isn't migrated properly.

EDIT: of course you should upgrade to a supported version soon.

Thanks Velden,

I had done the checksome before and detect no errors...
But i'll trie the other points you mentioned to see what the difference is on both servers.
Kind regards,

1000 times Thanks Velden,

due to your line of code i was able to detect the problem.
It was a list it module with a / in its "URL Prefix"-value.
Kind regards,
