CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Join in on this as well, as I am trying to do a server move as well and life is getting frustrating with how much is tied to the old links. I have tried the softlink option, also deleted all files asked of and clearing out the database field and it still gives white screen when trying to run this:

http://208.109.243.97/index.php?q=civicrm/admin/setting/updateConfigBackend&reset=1

I looked into the log file and it keeps complaining about this:

[Mon Jun 07 22:38:13 2010] [error] [client 71.142.139.6] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function date_parse() in /var/www/html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Utils/Date.php on line 252,

The Drupal move went fine, but I am struggling with this Civi part.

I read these last steps and boy they aren't too helpful either:

Alternatively, If both of these solutions fail: 1/. run a clean database installation to a new database (by deleting/renaming civicrm.settings.php). 2/. Confirm that this clean installation works 3/. Download clean database. 4/. Replace the SQL for the `civicrm_domain` table in your original database with the new SQL from the clean database. 5/. Upload the updated original database. 6/. edit civicrm.settings.php to repoint to the original database. 7/. rebuild the menus as instructions above

Once you rename civicrm.settings.php the site stops, and I don't get clean installing meaning running a fresh Civi install or dropping my cividatabase and re-importing it?

Thanks for the help

I would also guess that your PHP version is the problem. I believe date_parse() requires PHP 5.1.3 or greater.

Can you put this text into a file:
<?php
print_r(date_parse("2006-12-12 10:00:00.5"));
?>
and save it as a date.php in your Drupal root (i.e. same place as index.php) and then load it in your browser? See http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-parse.php for expected output.

Can you put this text into a file:

Code: [Select]

<?php
print_r(date_parse("2006-12-12 10:00:00.5"));
?>
and save it as a date.php in your Drupal root (i.e. same place as index.php) and then load it in your browser? See http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-parse.php for expected output.

It is still throwing that error message in the logs, and maybe it is a php 5.1.6 issue? We are moving from a hosting server to a dedicated at go daddy. I am on the support line with them now to see if they can update it to the latest as yum thinks everything is updated.

Ok, got it up and running. I will stop hijacking the thread but now to work on getting the directory list updated and remove the soft links. My issue was a PHP version problem so maybe this will help others to double check their php when they get that date error in the log.
