Another experience upgrading TXP 4.6
This morning I upgraded my local 4.6 installation to the latest GIT master zip.
At the risk of looking a complete wassak, I’m now presented with a blank screen after login. And PHP throws an error:
[Tue May 03 08:51:22.857592 2016] [:error] [pid 6473] [client fe80::b618:d1ff:feed:2453:49860] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function start() on a non-object in /Users/adi/Sites/textpattern-git/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 395, referer: http://imac.local/~adi/textpattern-git/textpattern/index.php
Usual upgrade method – replaced the old files/folders with the new, then got the “Remora is dead, long live the new default” message, after that was blankety blank.
Any useful antidotes or even amusing anecdotes?

Hi Adi,
it looks like the global $trace
is undefined or overwritten at some stage. Try to disable plugins by setting to 0 use_plugins
and admin_side_plugins
in txp_prefs
.

Re: Another experience upgrading TXP 4.6
Thanks Oleg, much obliged. It was one of my plugins causing the problem – not anything to do with $trace
, I don’t think, but have yet to find out what.

Re: Another experience upgrading TXP 4.6
I’d suspect an unfortunate extract()
that rewrites the global $trace
. We should give it a less common name.

Bloke wrote #298942:
$txp_trace
?
Txp::get('\Textpattern\Trace')
? ;)
(I know this would require some refactoring)
