Site migration - windows -> Linux

Saturday 26 November 2005 1:20:16 pm

I designed a site on Windows and am currently trying to migrate to Linux.
I've dump and restored the database and copied my entire apache directory to the Linux box.
Changed the site ini settings.

After doing this I can access pages that make direct fetches for data. Any template the makes use of {$module_result.content} times out with this error.

Even though you say that the permissions are ok it looks like you are having permission problems. Check that your web server can read _all_ files and make sure that the webserver can write to the cache directories while you are at it (var/cache).

Can someone please take a look at this.
This is an error in one of the pages I am trying to load, which works in windows.

Error: eZTemplateDesignResource::overrideArray  	Nov 27 2005 16:42:36

Here is the permissions on the error log files and all other files.

Here is the httpd process.

Here is the /etc/passwd and /etc/group entries for the apache user.

The errors in the first entry are still occuring even if I set everything to 777.

ez Dudes.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
It doesn't make sense that the admin interface can read edit the same data. I would assume that ez is making use of the same templates on both the admin and display side. Again, I gave all files 777 and I am still getting the same error.

All I did was move the entire webroot from my apache on windows to the apache on linux restored the database. Changed site.ini setting to acount for the environment changes, in this case just the mysql username and password. Changed ownership to apache and right now have all files set to 777. if it can't write or find files with globe write access then there has to be something else. Just in case this makes a difference here is my virtual host set up.

I am at a wall, and I would really like to have the site live in the near future. Again any help would be very much appreciated.

If you want to see first hand what the problem is you can go to http://u15197440.onlinehome-server.com
I have debug output turned on.

When the homepage loads you will notice that S2h.tv and weedshare links work, but the others do not. The only defference between the homepage, weedshare page and s2h.tv page is that they are all pagelayout overrides that have code for direct fetches. All other pages are standard line and full overrides that make use of module_result.content

Other than that I can not see why this is happening.

Hi Daniel

see this if this is helpful to you.

http://ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/could_not_load_translation_file

http://ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/the_maximum_nesting_level_of_40_has_been_reached

Did you clear cache, try to remove mannualy from
/var/[plain or your cache dir]/cache and empty this folder.

Tuesday 29 November 2005 8:07:30 am

This doesn't make any sense.
I am getting this error

Cannot open log file 'var/log/error.log' for writing
The web server must be allowed to modify the file.
File logging for 'var/log/error.log' is disabled.

But ez can create the notice.log and warning.log file which is in the same place that it says it can't create the error.log. Does anyone have any idea what could make it have th ability to create and read some files and not others even when they are in the same place and have the same permission?

I just checked again and the error.log has been created.

There has to be a file that holds the expected permissions or the permissions that should be used to create and read files.

I'm getting a parse errors for templates on the homepage. So this means that eZ can read files from that directory.

Error: eZTemplate @ design/s2h/override/templates/indexpagelayout.tpl:205[6]  	Nov 29 2005 14:26:31

parser error @ design/s2h/override/templates/indexpagelayout.tpl:205[6]
End tag "def" for function which does not accept children, ignoring tag

The only difference is the use of module_result.content.

Wednesday 30 November 2005 8:06:11 am

As I suspected, this had nothing to do with file permissions. For some reason eZ thru the error because of this block of code that I had for debug purposes

{$module_result.node_id}<br/>
{$module_result.path[1]|attribute( show, 1 )}<br/>
{$module_result.content_info.object_id}<br/>
Depth: {$module_result.content_info.node_depth}

Don't know why, because the error given makes no sense at all.

I am also gettin the error for this line of code.

<div class="artist_banners"><a href={$node.url_alias|ezurl}><img src="{$node.object.data_map.banner_image.content[original].url}"></a></div>

Specifically the $node.object portion.

I have to see how I can work around that.

This would seem to be a bug to me since the exact same code works on windows/apache/php 4.4.0

Not sure what you are refering to. However I can tell you this.

This works on Windows/Apache2.0.55/PHP4.4.0
But throws the error in the first entry in this post on.
Fedora Core2/Apache2.0.55/php4.4.0

<div class="artist_banners"><a href={$node.url_alias|ezurl}><img src="{$node.object.data_map.banner_image.content[original].url}"></a></div>

Had to change to this to get it to work on Linux.

<div class="artist_banners"><a href={$node.url_alias|ezurl}><img src="{$node.data_map.banner_image.content.original.url}"></a></div>

I don't mind the code change but it would help if eZ generated errors that was remotely related to what the real issue was.

I did get it to work. However, shouldn't someone be concerned about the drastic difference in behavior when running the same code on different operating systems?
