CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi
1. The new feature of "CiviCRM Extensions" directory - I can find the link but every time i click I get error 001 and a note "Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
Public directory down or too slow - please contact CiviCRM team on forums."  Am I missing something obvious - like the the site not existing yet?

2. Logging: I've activated this, and I'm on PHP 5.2 with triggers permissions, so that should be fine. However, I can't work out (probably stupid) where I would see the logs. They aren't in the change log tab. Where should I be looking?

Thanks.

Ed

PS. J1.5 and Civi3.4

Thanks for your reply.

1. On the extensions, I'm not sure how I'd test that. The instance is running on a live webserver so I'm not sure how I'd call that URL from that machine. I have had problems calling a URL on the same machine before (which the hosting company doesn't like for some reason) but the website more generally can get RSS feeds and content from the internet generally (the CAPTCHAs work fine, for example).

2. Logging: I had a look on the demo site and mine isn't doing what the demo site does. I turned it off and on again and got a yellow fatal error screen for "DB Error: unknown error" and I couldn't open the details option. That's obviously rather unhelpful so I'll have to try to find a more useful error message or log than that somewhere. A real pity as the logging I saw on the demo site is really good and something I really need to use.

Thanks for your help.

Logging: I had a look on the demo site and mine isn't doing what the demo site does. I turned it off and on again and got a yellow fatal error screen for "DB Error: unknown error" and I couldn't open the details option.

Where did you get this yellow screen? On the log tab or somewhere else?

Do you see the logging reports?

Can you try disabling the logging logging and re-enabling it once again?

In a (probably) separate issue, now that I have updated to 3.4.1, the admin screen has started warning me that: "Your database is configured to use the MyISAM database engine. CiviCRM requires InnoDB. You will need to convert any MyISAM tables in your database to InnoDB. Using MyISAM tables will result in data integrity issues. This will be a fatal error in CiviCRM v2.1. "  Which is a little odd, given that I have been happily using Civi on this db without warnings for over a year and umpteen versions.

Can you check what's the actual Mysql engine?

1. Extensions: thanks for that script. Tried it and the log duly reported "[Fri May 13 16:41:54 2011] [error] [client IP....171] PHP Warning:  file_get_contents() [<a href='function.file-get-contents'>function.file-get-contents</a>]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/sites/DOMAIN/public_html/new/test.php on line 2
[Fri May 13 16:41:54 2011] [error] [client IP.....171] PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(http://extdir.civicrm.org) [<a href='function.file-get-contents'>function.file-get-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/sites/DOMAIN/public_html/new/test.php on line 2"

... so it looks as if the external call is banned.

Ok, I'll ask you for your help in exchange. :-)

Can you add one line at the beginning of test.php script:

ini_set( 'allow_url_fopen', 1 );

and see if it changes anything?

Some hosting companies might be banning opening external URLs, so we'll need to think of a workaround.

Thx,

Ok, cool - glad to hear that enabling it temporarily helped. I'll just add the code that enables it for the time of call to directory.

Thx,
