New Install - CMS page not found

DonM — Sat, 25 May 2013 09:22:11 +1200

Hello

I have tried to install SilverStripe v3.0.5 on a NetRegistry domain and can't access the CMS page once the install has completed. I got a few warnings when trying to install including -
fileinfo support - fileinfo should be enbled in PHP;
magic_quotes_gpc option - magic_quotes_gpc is set to '1' in php.ini and
URM rewriting support - you need mod_rewrite to use friendly URL's with SilverStripe

but proceeded anyway and the install seemed to work. I then deleted in the installation files and got to the "Your Site Name" page (http://www.xxxxxxxx.com.au/index.php/) but when I clicked on the link to "you can edit this page by opening the CMS" I get a Page not found on http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com.au/admin/install.php

I've run the install twice with the same result.

As mentioned the webhost is NetRegistry and I'm wondering whether it is because the files are installed in a directory called "public_html" rather than the root directory. I note in the forum others have had trouble installing SilverStripe on NetRegistry and it isn't well supported. I'm very new to this so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Another thought on why this is happening is that I FTP'ed the site I had built locally to the webhost rather than just uploading the SilverStripe content and then uploading my particularly pages. I've only done this once before and can't remember how I'm supposed to upload the site and get it running.

Regards DonM

Re: silverstripe/sapphire is a private repos ?

Hi,

The repo isn't private, but it was recently renamed from 'sapphire' to 'silverstripe-framework', perhaps that is what's causing your issue? Try running:

composer self-update

and then try again. If that doesn't work, then try:

composer create-project silverstripe/installer htdocs 3.1.*@dev

Re: SS3.1 beta3 - SAFE MODE Restriction in effect

Liam — Fri, 24 May 2013 05:04:11 +1200

Okay thanks.

I guess I'll move ahead. The issue is that currently they're on a server with < php 5.3 within this company and the company will move the sites to a newer server they have with 5.3+ but cgi+safe_mode. I can't access it until the move so didn't want to do all of this only to find out it won't work, especially since they're charging us a move fee.

And because of politics I can't change webhosts. My only other choice would be to use WordPress or something but I'd rather not.

Fingers crossed but it seems like it should work.

Hi Liam,

It is running on the server after the described changes and the performance also seems to be ok.
My solution is hosted at unoeuro.com - and they do say they have special setup in place to try to avoid problems with safe_mode = on.

How did this turn out for you?

I have a client that is hosted on a server with safe_mode on and there is nothing I can do about moving or disabling.

New project so I don't have access yet and want to see if it will work before planning too much.

Create a silverstripe-cache folder in each of your SilverStripe sites root folders. That will save you from writing to your /tmp/ folder.

There is a wordpress connector module - https://github.com/ajshort/silverstripe-wordpressconnector to import the content. Depending on how your wordpress site url's are setup you may be able to keep your URL's, otherwise you'll need to use the link mapping module (https://github.com/ajshort/silverstripe-linkmapping) to map old url's to your new ones.

Also make sure you install the googlesitemap module and submit your new sitemap.xml to Google so that it can reindex your website.

EDIT: Oh sorry totally missed the capital SOLVED in the title, will leave this here in case someone else has a similar issue.

This doesn't look like a bug in SS, looks to be an issue with the shared hosts php configuration
(before I go on, they look to be warnings rather than fatal errors, have you tried proceeding ignoring the errors?)

Looks to be a miss configuration with the open_basedir setting http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.open-basedir

See the second to last comment on this page, someone having trouble/success with the setting http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

On my dev machine this setting isn't set at all and the installer works without issue.

open_basedir no value

Maybe try finding out what your host has this configured too and I can try replicate....

Update

my host(34sp) chief engineer has looked at the errors, also this forum and has cured the problem.

His reply is as follows.....

the errors seem to be a check for the root directory in the framework files.
As per suggestions from another user on the Silverstripe forum, I have surpassed the warnings using @ for the directory checks.

Is this a bug in v3.1 ?

Multiple installs conflicting because of silverstripe-cache

Spaghetti — Thu, 16 May 2013 02:47:47 +1200

I have a VPS with two vhosts and silverstripe 3 installed on one of them. I want to install silverstripe 3 on the other vhost too. Unfortunately the second site's install screen is telling me I can't install because it can't write to /tmp/silverstripe-cache.

It seems that the first install wrote the cache in /tmp/silverstripe-cache (i.e. literally the tmp directory under root and not under it's web area /var/,...../some domain/httpdocs/tmp/silverstripe-cache.

This is a problem because the second installation is blocked because of it.

So my question is this:

1. How can I change the location of the cache in an already installed and working sivlerstripe system.
2. How can I specify the location of the new cache?

i.e. I want each install's cache to be under it's web root and not the server root. Any ideas?

EDIT: or is it safe for both installations to use the same cache folder - assuming I can set the privileges properly?

2nd EDIT: I'm assuming it's safe. No problems so far.

How to Setup a Multisite with Version 3.0.5?

ELF — Fri, 10 May 2013 09:16:33 +1200

So the recipe for a multi-site install (not using the subsites module) .
1. Copy the silverstripe files to a master silverstripe directory; ex. "silverstripe305"
2. Don't install it (perhaps thats ok too?)
3. Copy assets, mysite, & themes folders to another directory; ex. "mysymlinkedsite" [do I also copy the index.php?]

4. Set the correct rights to these folders [what rights are those 777 for write access of 655?]

5. Create symlinks to the shared folders (saphhire, cms, etc.)
[OK, this is old, my versions doesn't have a sapphire folder? and what about all the files that are just in the silverstripe305 folder not its subfolders? How do I symlink this stuff and which ones?]

6. Create a "silverstripe-cache" folder in your "mysymlinkedsite"
[just out of curiosity why? am I supposed to reference it in a file somewhere of will silverstripe do that automatically?]

7. Proceed with the installation as normal (by visiting e.g. localhost/mysymlinkedsite)
8. to install it on additional addon-domains in the future: copy assets, mysite, & themes folders to the newsites directory; ex. "mynewsymlinkedsite". and then do whhat? create another index.php for it? Symlink some files like in step 5 again...

Could you guys help me clarify, Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

You can also do this

just add line at the end of content "php_value date.timezone {yourtimezone}"

like this

"php_value date.timezone Pacific/Auckland"

save upload and that's it...

It worked for me.

Re: Nginx configuration

Bambii7 — Fri, 03 May 2013 17:52:51 +1200

Sorry if this isn't really helpful.
But I'd recommend Apache for PHP. php-fpm seems to have heaps of issues, it's a very delicate set up with Ngnix. Crashes frequently in my experience.

If you're after the speed Nginx offers with static files, have an Apache Silver Stripe set up which statically exports the entire site to a live Nginx server. Then you'll have a blindingly fast site which wont touch PHP. Also you won't have security issues, and just a default install of Nginx. Again sorry this doesn't really address your configuration issue.

Hallo dh_berger
I know this is an old post but in case you're still having issues with this.
First thing make sure it's not .htacces but .htaccess I guess thats probably a typo.
Secondly your apache install needs to have mod_rewrite enabled.

To enable it you'll need root access to the server in order to run this is a terminal
a2enmod rewrite
service apache2 restart

Re: Warning and errors silverstripe 3.0.5 install

Bambii7 — Fri, 03 May 2013 17:35:18 +1200

I'm not a server expert so could be wrong. But at a guess looks like the User set up for your VPS doesn't have read permission to /var/lib/php/session thus the open() fail.
You could try adding something like
session_save_path('my/silverstripe/dir');
to the top of the index.php file in your silverstripe installation. You might be able to get away with it in the mysite/_config.php file but I'm unsure at what point SS starts the session (before or after reading the _config file).

Apophis — Fri, 03 May 2013 07:50:17 +1200

Thanks for the answer...

I like the way with composer, seems to work very nicely, it's similarly inspring as your Admin Interface, which is really the best in a CMS I have seen so far. Very clean and simple to use. But the setup experience in contrast is really disappointing so far.

I followed the instructions to the details, and it crashes during installation with a fatal error, and after that the Page reports:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Cache_Exception' with message 'cache_dir is not writable' in /var/www/silverstripe/framework/thirdparty/Zend/Cache.php:209 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/silverstripe/framework/thirdparty/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php(157): Zend_Cache::throwException('cache_dir is no...') #1 /var/www/silverstripe/framework/thirdparty/Zend/Cache/Backend/File.php(121): Zend_Cache_Backend_File->setCacheDir('/tmp/silverstri...') #2 /var/www/silverstripe/framework/thirdparty/Zend/Cache.php(153): Zend_Cache_Backend_File->__construct(Array) #3 /var/www/silverstripe/framework/thirdparty/Zend/Cache.php(94): Zend_Cache::_makeBackend('File', Array, false, false) #4 /var/www/silverstripe/framework/cache/Cache.php(220): Zend_Cache::factory('Core', 'File', Array, Array) #5 /var/www/silverstripe/framework/core/manifest/ClassManifest.php(123): SS_Cache::factory('SS_ClassManifes...', 'Core', Array) #6 /var/www/silverstripe/framework/core/Core.php(276): SS_ClassManifest->__construct('/var/www/silver...', false, false) #7 /var/ in /var/www/silverstripe/framework/thirdparty/Zend/Cache.php on line 209

FIXED...

I already had that on my first try:

a directory silverstripe-cache helps... thats what I found after googling for the error in the Forum. It's not in the documents for the installation and not in your explaination either. Now I am at the same point as I was yesterday before I fiddled with the gallery - upto here it is working now.

I still don't know what the way would be for a simple gallery in 3.0.6. Since Images seem to be First Class Members in SilverStripe I cant believe that there isnt a solution out of the box which just works, without throwing a Server Error 500.

Display Anything - is a mere blueprint but not a module.
DataObjectManager - seems more like a tool than really a gallery
ImageGallery - completeley out of date (2.3)
imagegallery_basic - out of date (2.4)

Its impossible to distinguish good from bad modules, there is no rating and not even a download count, its impossible to judge without actually knowing what the module is doing if it is any good.

The modules filter only can filter 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 which is aswell - out of date.

I appreciate your help - however the experience I had so far was a lot of highs and big lows...

PS:

The Blog Module document mentions some config.yml with the following:

BlogTree:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension
BlogEntry:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension

but you use:

Object::add_extension('BlogTree', 'WidgetPageExtension');
Object::add_extension('BlogEntry', 'WidgetPageExtension');

How would I know that?

These are the details which makes it VERY frustrating... it never works as expected...

Re: Content editor not displayed (ss 3.0)

Alex Albino — Fri, 03 May 2013 06:51:51 +1200

Possible Fix:

I've encountered this before. I managed to follow the stack trace back to a call of jQuery's .replaceWith() method inside of a framework file:

framework/admin/javascript/LeftAndMain.js

... look for the "handleAjaxResponse" closure, around line 433.

The line that reads as follows:

// Replace panel completely (we need to override the "layout" attribute, so can't replace the child instead)
contentEl.replaceWith(newContentEl);

...is the culprit (in my case). The jQuery .replaceWith() function expects one of three parameters:

- An HTML string
- A jQuery wrapped element.
- A raw HTML DOM node.

...I was getting a jQuery wrapped object, but the object inside WAS NOT AN ELEMENT. It was a JSON object, which had a property named "CurrentForm" that contained an HTML string representation of the form. (Thanks, inventor of console.log()!)

I changed the code to the following:

// Replace panel completely (we need to override the "layout" attribute, so can't replace the child instead)
//contentEl.replaceWith(newContentEl); // ...original line of code

if (newContentEl[0] && newContentEl[0].CurrentForm) // Check to see if this is some kind of special jQuery wrapped object.
{
contentEl.replaceWith( newContentEl[0].CurrentForm ); // Grab that HTML string that's inside the object, use it instead.
} else {
// handle things as usual...
contentEl.replaceWith(newContentEl);
}

... Hope this helps.
- Alex Albino

UPDATE: It turns out, this issue is a little higher up the stack. IGNORE THE PREVIOUS EDITS. JUST CHANGE THE FOLLOWING!!!

In the 'handleAjaxResponse' handler in framework/admin/javascript/LeftAndMain.js, change:

if(xhr.getResponseHeader('Content-Type') == 'text/json') {

...to

if(xhr.getResponseHeader('Content-Type').match( /^text\/json/, 'text/json' ) ) {

...and see if that works. It turns out that if you have the PHP.ini directive 'default_charset' set to something, your server will NOT reply with 'application/json' in the xhr header, but instead respond with 'application/json;charset=XXX' ...where XXX is the character set you have on your server. THEREFORE, the if-statement will fail when using the == operator ...we should instead use a regex match, as per the updated code snippet above.

After removing cookies on my main browser, no errors was produced here either.

I then just go and outcomment framework/core/Core.php line 54 - 64 (they handle Include _ss_environment.php files) after that i get directed to install.php.

Install.php has the following error:

It's again the function for including environment files - i leave it there and silverstripe installs.

Visiting the site now gives the error:

I'm stuck

The funny part is that i actually tried the install 2 times, first time i somehow managed to get the system running. Then i decided to try again to be able to document the problems, and now i'm not able to get it running.

I hope that someone will help me and others in the same situation - it's really frustrating not to be able to install my system og choice on my host.

UPDATE: After another install where i just manually opened /install.php, i have the site running, except for a 4 warnings:

The problem seems just to be with including the "_ss_environment.php" file - a file i dont even think i'm using.
However, if i outcomment the lines that do the search for _ss_environment.php, i get the error:

Hi labman,

You are quite correct in assuming it is the .htaccess preventing that from happening. You'll find the code you're looking for in the block at the end, wrapped in the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>.

Re:First few hours with SilverStripe

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you're having troubles there. Perhaps the docs aren't quite as clear as they should be, but generally if you're doing things on the command line it's much better to use composer to sort out dependency management with installing the base software and modules. This quick guide will get you started with the framework, CMS and blog, widgets and comments modules. Assuming you're on a *nix style operating system and have command line access:

First of all, install Composer:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Then install the code using composer (change /var/www/ss3 to a location of your choosing in the webroot):

cd /var/www/ss3
composer create-project silverstripe/installer .
composer require --no-update "silverstripe/blog:*"
composer require --no-update "silverstripe/widgets:*"
composer require --no-update "silverstripe/comments:*"
composer update --no-dev

Enable widgets by adding these two lines of code to mysite/_config.php:

Object::add_extension('BlogTree', 'WidgetPageExtension');
Object::add_extension('BlogEntry', 'WidgetPageExtension');

Finally, open your browser and go to where you can access the site to start installer, e.g. http://localhost/ss3/install.php

More packages can be found on packagist.org and installed like above (search "silverstripe/" on the packagist site for examples).
If I wanted to add the userforms module, for example, I would execute the following commands (change directory to where you installed SilverStripe first):

composer require --no-update "silverstripe/userforms:*"
composer update --no-dev

Now there are a lot of modules out there, and not all of them are compatible with 3.0.5, which is the latest stable version of SilverStripe at the time of this writing, however if the module is on packagist you're more likely to know the version it's *actually* compatible with.

Hope that helps.

Sean

For anybody else who has this issue, Sphere was correct - eAccelerator was the issue. Disabled it and was able to move forward.

The error here is due to a PHP-cacher named eAccelerator. eAccelerator doesn't allow for anonymous functions, which causes this error. Only solution is either disable eAccelerator, or find a host that uses APC (or no PHP-cacher)

Hi Sphere,

I hit you up on Twitter about this, too, but wondering if you were able to find the cause of this error? I'm receiving the exact same error when I've moved my install to production.

Re: Installing 2.4 - Array to string conversion

bones — Wed, 01 May 2013 03:07:18 +1200

I've been having the same problem too. I'm using SS 2.4.10 and PHP 5.4.10 (MAMP). The solutions provided haven't worked for me.

I changed the PHP version in MAMP to 5.2.17, and the problem went away. Is there a better solution than downgrading MAMP?

Thanks.

Tell SS to ignore directories

labman — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 08:21:19 +1200

If I try to visit a folder that contains a custom app we developed, SS takes over and redirects me to a 404 page. How can I tell it to ignore all requests for that folder (and a few others) and let Apache handle them on its own? For example, if my custom application is located in a folder called foo (http://www.example.com/foo/index.php), SS brings up the 404 Not Found page instead of our application. I'm assuming this has something to do with the mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess but I don't know what.

Success! Although it may have been due to clearing my cookies/cache. I should've thought of that one sooner. Thanks for your help everyone.

I had the same experience before. I think you are now already logged in, your just redirected to the wrong page. Try to go directly to the admin area at http://myurl/mysite/index.php/admin.

Correct, the text is "Welcome to SilverStripe! This is the default homepage. You can edit this page by opening the CMS. You can now access the developer documentation, or begin the tutorials." I can follow the link to the CMS login, but when I enter my credentials it looks like it's doing something, but brings me back to the same page (with no messages or errors).

There are 3 links on the starting page if I remember right. Try going using the link that says "start with the CMS" or something similar. I remember I had similar problems, but using this link it worked.
