Upgrading to 4.05 - Only variables can be passed by reference themes/garland...
August 22, 2011, 10:45:11 am
Hi there,

Just upgraded to Drupal 7.7 and am now attempting to upgrade CiviCRM from 3.22 to 4.05. Removed all files, replaced with the new version, added lines to civicrm.settings.php and am now attempting to run the upgrade script at civicrm/upgrade?reset=1

The following error occurs: Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in .../themes/garland/page.tpl.php on line 3

Same results changing the theme.

PHP 5.2.17
MySQL 5.05

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hershel

Did you remove all Drupal source code before installing the Drupal 7 code? If not, try that.

Then try clearing the theme caches and then try the CiviCRM upgrade again.

You have the same precise error as the original post?

Trevor, you get the "passed by reference" error or a "parse" error? Can you post the precise error message?

Fatal error actually:

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/localo_drupal7/themes/garland/page.tpl.php on line 3

Bizarre. That line is

Code: [Select]
  <?php print render($page['header']); ?>

No idea why that is. Can you try another theme?

Three users is enough for a bug I think. Can you post an Issue via the Issue Tracker link at the top of this page and refer to this thread? Seems some case of upgrades is causing this. Not clear what however. :(

Will help even more if you can debug and attach a patch to the issue once you've found and fixed the issue

Filing an issue is the first step in a long chain of events :)

yes, that error does seem wierd and have absiolutely no idea why that error is even thrown

I too have this exact error trying to upgrade to 4.2 from 3.4 after just upgrading from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.17.

I visit /civicrm/upgrade?reset=1 and it throws Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in (theme/path no matter the theme used).

I have no caching enabled. Please advise.

I am running PHP 5.2.10: Do you think maybe that has something to do with it?

Thanks!

Nope, it's just a vanilla Ubuntu install with PHP held back to 5.2

I migrated the site to a server running PHP 5.3 and was able to complete the upgrade. I remember some other D7 error on PHP 5.2 that complained about passing by reference ...

I am curious to see if any of the others on this thread are also on PHP 5.2 (and after all PHP 5.3 is stated as a minimum requirement for CiviCRM 4.2 ... the installer will not let you install unless you are on 5.3)
