Upgrading Joomla 2.1->2.2 give Blank Screen
April 13, 2009, 07:25:27 am
I'm working through a migration for Joomla 2.1->2.2 and I get a blank screen.  While perusing the forums for a solution I notice a response about checking the CiviCRM.log file.  Mine doesn't have anything for today's date.

Error reporting has been turned on in the php.ini.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sam

r u running the upgrade url? can u cut-n-paste the url that is resulting in the blank screen

can u also check the apache error logs for error messages. Is the error logging on php.ini set to display on the screen?

error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
log_errors = Off

http://hostname/civi/administrator/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/upgrade&reset=1
(i can pm you the hostname if you would like)

Joomla is installed in /civi/

Ugh.. apache error.log produces something like this whenever I refresh the page:
[Mon Apr 13 13:40:06 2009] [notice] child pid 25986 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Mon Apr 13 13:40:06 2009] [notice] child pid 25989 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Mon Apr 13 13:40:07 2009] [notice] child pid 25990 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Mon Apr 13 13:40:08 2009] [notice] child pid 26005 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Can you tell me where this install script is located?  Maybe I can comment some stuff out and find what's breaking this.

Or, perhaps (hopefully) you have a better idea :)

try upgrading your php and that might make the error disappear :)

the upgrade code is in: CRM/Upgrade/Page/Upgrade.php

those errors typically are the worst / hardest to debug. good luck

Ok, I've made some more progress.  There was something to do with the chroot jail of our webserver in combination with the script error that was causing the segmentation fault.  I actually installed a second webserver (non-chroot) and found out that it was dying because it was reading the tables from the joomla db.  Part of the conversion process led to us using separate databases for joomla and civicrm, but somehow the config file DSNs were reset to only the joomla db.  I'm not sure how that happened.

Anyways, I cleaned out the old civi tables (<v2.1) from the joomla database, readjusted the DSNs to point to our civicrm db and tried again.

I am now getting the following error:
