Errors running upgrade scripts for 3.10.0 -> 4.0

Hi,

I've run into some problems when running the upgrade scripts to upgrade 3.10 to 4.0.

<b>When running updateniceurls.php I get the following messages:</b>

Warning: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /home/imaclean/public_html/ezp40/bin/php/updateniceurls.php on line 33

Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/imaclean/public_html/ezp40/kernel/classes/ezscript.php on line 1052
...4 times....

Fatal error: eZINI: Undefined group: 'FileSettings' in site.ini in /home/imaclean/public_html/ezp40/lib/ezutils/classes/ezdebug.php on line 551

<b>And when running updatetipafriendpolicy.php I get:</b>

Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/imaclean/public_html/ezp40/kernel/classes/ezscript.php on line 1052
...3 times...

Then the scripts fails to log me in as admin and doesn't update the policy.

<b>When running updatevatcountries.php I get:</b>

Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/imaclean/public_html/ezp40/kernel/classes/ezscript.php on line 1052
...4 times...

Updated VAT rules: 0

updateniceursl.php and updatetipafriendpolicy.php worked fine when going from 3.9 -> 3.10 on one database, but didn't complete properly on another. I undid the changes to updateniceursl.php when upgrading from 3.9 to 3.10 before running the upgrade script for 4.0.

The whole process had worked yesterday on another site and database, and that is now running properly on a development machine and a production server.

The PHP5 installation on the develoment machine seems to be correct (it worked yesterday).

It's got me stumped. Any suggestions on what might be causing the php errors?

Cheers

)Thanks Kristof,

PHP was in safe mode=off anyway, so the safe mode warning is a mystery.

The datatype warning from ezscript.php seems to be caused by the debug settings in the site.ini file, but I can't make them disappear by adjusting the settings. I don't think it is stopping the scripts from running properly.

I tried the upgrade process again, this time I didn't run updateniceurls.php and updatetipafriendpolicy.php when going from 3.9 -> 3.10. That seemed to stop the fatal error when running updateniceurls.php when upgrading from 3.10 to 4.0.

Is it actually necessary to run these two scripts when upgrading from 3.10 -> 4.0?

When I finally managed to log onto the admin area on one of the sites once the full 4.0 upgrade was complete, I got a kernel(3) error when trying to access the Content area. All the other sections were accessible. Content was not accessible when viewing the public site (another kernel(3) error). Could these two scripts be a possible cause of that?

Cheers

Hi Kristof,

Thanks for your suggestions. Even though /etc/php.ini had Safe Mode = off, it wasn't being read as such. When I added Safe mode = off into the php.ini file I had to put into the root of the eZpublish installation, it worked fine. Go figure?

Cheers
