Spartacus not working!

[florina]

Hi,

The person from the hosting provider I talked to said that she doesn't see any fatal php error. She's new there, though... She said that, maybe, I messed up the script, somewhere. That cannot be right either, because I reinstalled everything, when I upgraded. Serendipity.

By installing manually I mean uploading the files via ftp. Installing like this worked before and it is still working with the event plugins, but no longer with the sidebar ones. The second page simply doesn't show the unistalled plugins anymore.

Here's a link to the screenshots:

Thanks again,

Hi!

Thanks for the screenshot! This usually really indicates a fatal PHP error like a memory timeout. There must be something inside the logs.

Maybe you can try to put this into your .htaccess file:

Code: Select all

php_value display_errors on
php_value error_log /path/to/your/serendipty/errors.log

This should both turn on error display and log errors into your custom directory so that you can see it yourself. however those two php_value options might not work in all cases as it depends on the type of server setup your provider made.

HTH,
Garvin

Hi,

It's me again... with the same problem. Thank you for the suggestion for the .htaccess file. Didn't work for me though. Meanwhile the hosting provider rechecked the errors, upgraded to the last php version but my problem still doesn't go away. I tried disabling the java in the settings, that didn't work either. I'm not so smart at all these. My feeling tells me it might be something related to a java problem or some conflicting plugins but I cannot figure which. I'm afraid to remove plugins of fear that I might loose the whole blog. My problem started after I removed a side bar plugin, if I remember correctly, the one allowing new users to sign up.

I can upgrade the event plugins with Spartacus but how can I upgrade the side bar ones?

I would try to remove and then reinstall Spartacus but I'm not sure of the results. What do you think?

Thank you,

Florina

Hi!

Your problems are in no way related to JavaScript or Java (serendipity doesn't use java, BTW).

So only installing new sidebar plugins is affected, is that right? You can still install new event plugins via Spartacus? Are you sure those are fetched via spartacus, and are not already existing because you uploaded them by FTP? Because it might be that your provider has enabled a firewall that does not let your server connect to foreign HTTP servers to download plugins.

Another reason might be that a wrong Spartacus mirror is configured. Check out the plugin configuration of the spartacus plugin, which mirror did you set? You should use netmirror.org.

You can also try to delete all package*.xml files in your templates_c/ directory. Then spartacus will re-fetch them, and maybe allow you to proceed.

Best regards,
Garvin
