Re: [VuFind-General] VuFind/AJAX 500 internal error

[Byron S. <by...@ev...>]

Thanks a lot Demian the error_reporting(E_ALL) in the driver did the trick.
Straight away I could see it was having trouble parsing the .ini
configuration file on line 5 (password).  

I have been pulling my hair out all because of a simple password!  The
strange thing is the password that was being used was exactly the same as
the test PHP script which was bringing back results from the LMS server.
The password had an exclamation mark in it which I think might have caused
the problem.  Anyway all is working now and I really appreciate the help in
figuring this out!

Regards,

Byron

If you want to eliminate the possibility that something somewhere is
overriding the php.ini error setting, you can try adding:

error_reporting(E_ALL);

directly to the driver code near the point of failure.

It also might be useful to set the debug level up to 5 in the [Database]
section of config.ini just in case VuFind's DB_DataObject layer is somehow
conflicting with the driver and creating a problem (though I don't think
this is likely, since then it probably wouldn't work on the test server
either).

Have you compared your PHP and VuFind configurations between the production
and test servers to see if there are any significant differences that might
make an impact -- things like use of a PHP accelerator, different session
storage mechanisms, etc.?
