[solved] Fatal Error on Upgrade?

superbiate · 2017-03-14 17:44:17

Hi everyone, I just upgraded our install to 4.6.2 and am now encountering these errors (with no content visible):

Warning: main(): It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. You are required to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone ‘UTC’ for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /home/superb10/public_html/textpattern/publish.php on line 36

Fatal error: Call to a member function start() on a non-object in /home/superb10/public_html/textpattern/publish.php on line 36

The first error I’d encountered previously, and was the cause of the upgrade. The second one seems to be the reason why I now have a blank site! http://superbiate.com is what we’re looking at – and I’d built it back in 2010 with a tech collaborator who introduced me to Txp, which I quite love with my moderate coding skill.

But I’m definitely not an expert. Especially around the vagaries of how Txp’s CMS pulls all the data together. Any and all help is very greatly appreciated! My kind thanks in advance, G.

Edit: Labeled title as solved.

hi and welcome to txp.

Try this thread as it might solve your problem. Otherwise please do post back in this thread and the answer will be found.

Thanks so much colak, it seems possible that it might be a plugin issue from the thread you shared; only trouble is, I have no idea if any are installed, and if so, where.

Here’s the contents of line 36 in publish.php:

$trace->start(‘[PHP includes, stage 2]’);

My sincere thanks for your time and attention, friend. Cheers!

You see the active plugins by visiting Admin > Plugins.

You can turn single ones on/off by clicking their yes/no link in the Active column, or turn multiple ones on/off by clicking their checkmarks and using the “With selected” > “Change status” menu item bottom left on the page.

In case we can help with information on single plugins, please go to Admin > Diagnostics and post here the contents of the text area. They’re all listed there.

Copy that uli, thanks so much! As I suspected, there are no plugins installed. Here’s the diagnostic:

HUGE thanks for your time, best regards,

OK, let’s try to get rid of the timezone error with one of these:

In case you’ve access to a php.ini file (Not every webspace has it available.)

In case not there’s always config.php (You’ll find the file here: superbiate.com/textpattern/config.php). Add that code from there to a new line immediately above the closing ?> in config.php.

THANKS uli! That killed the timezone warning perfectly. But now we have our lone fatal error preventing anything at all from loading: http://superbiate.com.

Here’s the updated diagnostic, if it helps.

When you visit superbiate.com/textpattern/include with an FTP app, do you see a folder named import and a file txp_import.php? If so, you can delete both (incl. folder contents), they’re only necessary in previous versions and were causing errors, previously.

In case they were still there: Does your site work again?

superbiate · 2017-03-14 23:49:19

Sorry uli, neither file is present – I’m working with a clean install of the latest CMS. Please advise….

colak · 2017-03-15 06:33:53

Could you put your site on debug mode? We might be able to pick the error from the tag trace.

superbiate · 2017-03-15 12:22:16

Gladly, colak — http://superbiate.com.

Sincere thanks in advance, G.

Some Textpattern files have been modified: /home/superb10/public_html/index.php, /home/superb10/public_html/css.php

That’s suspect.
