Installation error

[mica78]

Im facing weird errors with Installation of HArvester 2. The previous version worked fine. I also have OJS running ok on my system.

System is Linux (Debian) with Apache2 web server and Mysql 5.0.24 and php 5.1.6.

The installation goes fine and I get page saying now you need to login. However when trying to login I get messages like:


Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 9 of 24 bytes in /var/www/harvester-2.0.0/classes/site/SiteSettingsDAO.inc.php on line 88

When clicking browse I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getRecordCount() on a non-object in /var/www/harvester-2.0.0/cache/t_compile/%%8E^8EA^8EA26CCF%%index.tpl.php on line 19

Tried Installing several times. Any help would be appreaciated?

Hi Mika,

There are two problems here; one is that I suspect your locales list has somehow become corrupted. Try browsing to the administrator's Languages page, ensuring that the settings are OK, and saving; this may correct the unserialize error.

The second error (call to member function on non-object) may be caused by a file permissions problem in your cache/t_compile directory. Make sure that the web server user has sufficient permissions to admininster everything in the cache directory and its subdirectories.

Thanks for the tips.

Admin language pages does not show anything selected nor can I select anything from the pull downs. I wonder how can I fix this since I cant really change any settings?


However on the second error; I have granted a+rwx to all the directories mentioned in the README, including cache/t_compile. It doesnt seem to be the case.

Hi Mika,

Could you execute the following in MySQL and send me the results? (Email me personally if some of the content refers to your installation directly.)

Code: Select all

SELECT select setting_name, setting_value FROM site_settings WHERE setting_type = 'object';

Here you go.

mysql> SELECT setting_name, setting_value FROM site_settings WHERE setting_type = 'object';
+-------------------+------------------------+
| setting_name | setting_value |
+-------------------+------------------------+
| installed_locales | a:1:{i:0;s:5:"en_US";} |
| supported_locales | a:1:{i:0;s:0:"";} |
+-------------------+------------------------+

Hi Mika,

Those values are as they should be... perhaps your system has magic_quotes enabled or something else is interfering with the data coming out of the database. Could you send me the output of a phpinfo(); call?

I reconfigured PHP and turned off magic_quotes and the installation works now. Wow. I read the README but it didnt advise to disable them.

Now another problem came up. I added one repository to the system and it was harvested ok. But then adding another one gets weird. The adding process goes ok. But then in the repository list I can only see the repository I added first. Nothing else. Yet the total number of repositories is 2. Repeating the step results the same thing, except that the count is 3.

So the problem is: I keep adding repoositories, but they dont show on the list. Yet they are counted on the screen.

So, whats happening here?

Hi Mika,

This is a recent issue that came up -- it's an incompatibility between PHP 5.1 and the version of Smarty included with the Harvester 2.0.0. Try the pach at http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2393 and see if this corrects the problem.

I was trying to apply the patch with
pacth -p0 < patchfile but I keep receiving errors.

can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

I dont have such file in the directory. Well, I tried to remove those first lines from the patch and more errors appeared.

There is no diff directory in lib/smarty.

So, is the batch working ok, or should I know how to use it first?

-Mika

Hi Mika,

You can ignore the .diff files -- they're for reference only, they're not part of Smarty. Did you receive any other error messages, particularly when patching the .php files?

If you're having trouble with the patch process, you can also use CVS to check out a fresh version; CVS is currently stable and has a few additional bugfixes. See docs/README-CVS for more info.

I downloaded the latest CVS and installed the system. Now the installation process works fine.

Im still having the same problem adding repositories: the list only shows one repository allthough the count says there are many.

You can see the installation online at:
http://tds.terkko.helsinki.fi/harvester2/

Also when I try to browse the one and only visible repository I can only see one item for each page.

When I try to search, I get this error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function displaySummary() on a non-object in /var/www/harvester2/cache/t_compile/%%92^924^92435639%%results.tpl.php on line 96

[asmecher]

Hi Mika,

Please update your check-out; I've just committed the new version of Smarty to CVS.

Great, now I adding repositories works fine and I can see them on the list. Also the items list seems to be correct.

However; when trying to update the metadata index I get the following:

Internal error
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/harvester2/classes/xml/XMLParser.inc.php:69)

What could be causing this?

-Mika

[asmecher]

Hi Mika,

I'm not sure, but this sounds to me like an XML parsing error. Try validating the XML feed with a tool like XMLLINT -- something like (on the *NIX command line):

Code: Select all

wget "http://www.some-oai-site.com/url/to/oai?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc"
xmllint --noout name_of_resulting_file

This might help clarify the problem. Alternately, if you post the OAI URL here, I can verify.
