I've had problems with getting my databases to flush in the not so distant past (http://silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/14614). Now I'm trying ss on a simple helix web server but getting different problems.

The problem is that I can't get new page types to appear in my CMS. I feel the database is flushing correctly because if I add HomePage.php to my server, flush the database, then add homepage.php (or any file with the same contents, but different name) it seems it recognises that the files are there because I get the following error:

Warning: There are two files both containing the same class: '/home/houseofh/public_html/mysite/code/HomePage.php' and '/home/houseofh/public_html/mysite/code/homepage.php'. This might mean that the wrong code is being used. in /home/houseofh/public_html/sapphire/core/ManifestBuilder.php on line 487

I ended up resorting to re-installing SS and once the install was complete, the HomePage page type was now available in the CMS. I could go on doing this but it's obviously not very practical, and I'm not sure what data I might be losing every time I do this.

The only problem I can think of is that maybe it has something to do with mod-rewrite not being turned on. Well, I don't think it is turned on, localhost/admin just leads me to the homepage, while localhost/index.php/admin gets me into the admin? I have a pretty massive .htaccess file in the root directory set up for Magento although Magento isn't installed any more. Here are the contents:

If someone could please advise me on how re-installing SS to flush the database would effect existing database information (like users, or content) I really would be much appreciative.

Cheers,

Hi Tim,

Try a fresh install of SilverStripe first without any third party or even SS modules. Point in to a different database, build it. Then try to create a page class, then build the database again. See if you can create an instance of that page in the CMS admin.

I didn't encounter the problems you have posted here in my numerous installations of SilverStripe. Try that first and let's see what happens.

Hi Pinoy,

I've just tried your suggestion but it didn't seem to resolve the problem. I haven't tried any third party or SS modules yet so they can't be interfering.

If the mod-rewrite issue isn't the problem then my only other thoughts are that maybe simple helix are running an un-supported version of MySQL that doesn't like to re-build with whatever method dev/build?flush=1 uses? Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Tim

Could be something todo with the cache itself, have you added a silverstripe-cache folder to your root (alongside cms and sapphire)? This will be used as the cache and you can easily delete it's contents to flush the cache manually.

Yeah, I think swaiba is right. Sometimes I try to delete the files under /tmp/silverstripe-cache-<name-of-your-directory> then do a build. Maybe you should try that one. :) Hit us back with the updates.

We've moved the forum!
