Problems with PHP 5.3 (Class 'HookRegistry' not found)

[ambs]

Hi.

My linux distro uploaded PHP to version 5.3. Unfortunately it was not a smooth update for the operating system, and it got worst for OJS.
(http://linguamatica.com)

When looking into the log I get lots of warnings of deprecated calls and strange get_class calls.

But it all ends with this:
Sep 22 21:46:04 camelo httpd: PHP Fatal error: Class 'HookRegistry' not found in /home/ambs/OJS/classes/db/DAO.inc.php on line 175

Found somewhere earlier in the log:
[Tue Sep 22 23:16:23 2009] [error] [client 93.108.171.131] PHP Warning: Parameter 2 to BlockPlugin::callback() expected to be a reference, value given in /home/ambs/OJS/classes/plugins/HookRegistry.inc.php on line 79

Some more news, updated OJS to 2.2.3, still not working properly

Any hint on what might be happening?
Thanks

Hi ambs,

Can you tell us which actions are causing these errors to happen? I believe there are some oddities with OJS and PHP 5.3, but a lot of errors can be overlooked (deprecated calls etc. -- see viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4880). But if you are indeed running into show-stopper errors, please let us know exactly where and when they occur and we can investigate further.

Cheers,
James

Hello, jmacgreg.

As the journal deadline is coming (30 September) I uploaded a backup to the server (back to PHP 4.2 and OJS 2.2.2). After the deadline I'll come back for further details.

Sorry for opening this thread and halting it so soon. But I promise I'll be back

Hello

As I am having some other problems with OJS (see my two other posts) I upgraded to OJS 2.2.3
Still using PHP 5.2.10, when I access to the main page I get in syslog:

[Thu Sep 24 14:06:21 2009] [error] [client 93.108.171.131] PHP Fatal error: Class 'HookRegistry' not found in /home/ambs/OJS/classes/db/DAO.inc.php on line 175

At the moment that doesn't seem to have any impact in the main page loading. No idea if this might be responsible for any of the other problems...

Changed line 169 from file classes/db/DAO.inc.php so that the condition is never true:

if ($callHooks === true && checkPhpVersion('4.3.0') && false) {

And things got a little better. No warning, language change works, login works correctly. But I am still having blank pages on some configuration parts...

Hi Alberto,

Can you turn on the debug information at the very bottom of config.inc.php and let us know the results of a stack trace?

Cheers,
James

Hello, James.

I set:
show_stacktrace = On
and changed DAO.inc.php back to its original contents.

but, on the log I just get:
[28-Sep-2009 20:25:35] PHP Fatal error: Class 'HookRegistry' not found in /home/ambs/OJS/classes/db/DAO.inc.php on line 175

and nothing interesting in the website.

One easy way to notice things are not working properly is that in the bottom of the page '##journal.issn##: 1647-0818 ' appears, instead of what really should be shown: the journal footer, with Creative Commons logo, and that.

I am turning stacktrace back to Off for now.

Hey,

I too am having this problem after the host upgraded to the latest version of PHP. Webhosting is LAMP.

This is the error, and it is preventing login (no errors, just when I type in username and password it reloads the page like nothing happened). Additionally, it shows this error on all OJS pages by default:

Fatal error: Class 'HookRegistry' not found in /home/.../classes/db/DAO.inc.php on line 175

Is there perhaps a patch for this?

Thanks!

Hi all,

There have been a few PHP 5.3 issues reported against OJS and OCS. I'm not sure if this one is related to Bug 4775, but I've attached a note to it. Please feel free to CC yourself to that report for further updates; if it's a separate bug, it'll likely be reported and handled separately.

Cheers,
James

Hello

I am not running PHP 5.3 ATM.
Yeah, I know the first message I created was PHP 5.3 related

Hi James,

Do you know of some temporary fix to get rid of that error splattered on all the different pages?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Rmurphy, you can control what errors are being displayed by modifying the 'error_reporting' configuration in your.php ini file (see http://ca.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.error-reporting).

Ambs, did you try clearing your OJS cache after switching PHP versions?

Ambs, did you try clearing your OJS cache after switching PHP versions?

Yup. In fact I got back all the tree from backups.

I too am having this problem after my hosting site upgraded their PHP! There is a conference deadline nearing and I need to take action fast.


Fatal error: Class 'HookRegistry' not found in /home/rlogisco/public_html/ojs/hd.mcfns.com/classes/db/DAO.inc.php on line 175


pache version 2.2.13 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.11

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Great temporary fix - thank you. I'm having the same problem after upgrading to PHP 5.2.11 (note I originally stated that it was 5.3 but after checking the version I found that that was not correct). The Class HookRegistry is not found even though it is where it supposed to be, nobody can log on. This quick fix enables the ojs installation to function, even though it is a pain in the neck, because every time I refresh the screen I get blank 404 error and I have to refresh it again to get the right screen. After logging on or off I get 404 blank screen and refreshing doesn't help - I have to go back a screen and then refresh it. It all acts very unprofessionally and is embarrassing. I sure hope someone will find a real solution for this bug soon (the recent 47.. bug doesn't do any good for this problem).
