Error when moving site

A place to discuss and receive support for LCMS (Little Content Management System)

Postby njw » Tue Nov 14, 2006 11:19 am

I've just moved the site to a different hosting area, and I am getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/archomai/public_html/templates_c/default/%%D7^D73^D73BB5E8%%MainTemplate.html.php on line 54

I can't get into the file to see what is causing the error. Any thoughts?

Many thanks

Neil

OK.. this is solvable, and is probably just a really simple little thing, but your inability to access the file will make this a bit tricky.

You probably cannot see the file because it was created by the web server and won't allow your user to read it. Hence to access this file, you must use the web server process.

Make a simple PHP script on your web server with the following:

Code: Select all



Then run this script from your web browser. This will display the contents of that file in an array. The suspect line should be located at index 53 of the printed array.

That will give us a clue as to what object it can't find.

Most likely this is an issue with the .htaccess file - or perhaps even a petty connection issue with the database.

Best regards

Steve

Thanks Steve. I think it's a connection issue, because it's now gone away since I got the nameservers corrected. However, I've now lost all the formatting and images ... I'm checking through all the file references and pointers now to see what needs to be corrected.

I was wrong - the change is that it is writing the error to the log file now ...

Lines 53 & 54 are as follows:
[53] =>
_tpl_vars['page']->val('header_image')): ?>style="background:#505050 url(_tpl_vars['ENV']['DATAFACE_SITE_URL']; ?>
[54] => /tables/pages/header_image/_tpl_vars['page']->val('header_image'); ?>

OK.. so it appears it is not managing to load the requested page from the database. Is this appearing on a page where the content is drawn from the database, or from the file system? If you can give me the url, I can take a closer look to see if anything jumps out.

As it is, I'd say the problem probably lies in the .htaccess file or the apache config file (perhaps not allowing certain options to be used in the .htaccess file).

The url is www.archomai.co.uk. The admin module is working fine. This is occurring on all pages.

It is a new site, but the same hosting company. Possibly a different server.

The .htaccess file is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_fileNAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public.php?-path=$1

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*admin\.php
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R]


Deny from all

#
#RewriteEngine on
#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80
#RewriteRule ^(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI}
#

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

If it's any help, it doesn't seem to recognise the [ENV] and/or [APPLICATION] variables. Nothing that refers to them is being displayed.

It is definitely something to do with $ENV not being set. I have deleted the $ENV.DATAFACE_SITE_URL from MainTemplate.html and the formatting has come back. The edits should solve my problem short-term: getting the web site looking reasonable, but I would still like to put it back the way it was!

Hi Steve

Overnight, I have changed nothing, but now there are errors occurring on different lines and the site will not display. Any thoughts?

Ignore the above - looking at the wrong site!

Is it at all possible that the new site is using a different installation of Dataface (an older install) than it was on the older server?

The $ENV variable is crucial to the templates.

One possibility is also that the compiled template is for an older install. Making any changes to the MainTemplate.html template should update the timestamp and cause the template to be recompiled though - this could be the actual reason why removing $ENV.DATAFACE_SITE_URL made it work before.

The version of dataface is the same. I copied the whole site over (it was a sub directory of the QSG site.

My hosting company have said "the only difference is that Register_globals is OFF on the new server (much safer with regard security)". Could this be the problem?

Having done some searching, and acknowledging my limited understanding of PHP, I have tried changing my htaccess directive to set Register_globals to on, but this causes the site to error. Do I need to change the startup code code somehow?

Many thanks

Almost there - I've amended all the $ENV references to $_ENV. Now the menu tabs have gone missing, but that's probably just a tag in the worng place, I hope!
