Error in upgrading to version 1.7.0

[Mark Corben]

Hi,

I am upgrading from version 1.6.1 to 1.7.0 and each time i attempt to apply
patch patch-00164-alla.php I get a white page.

I am running on Linux OpenSuSE 11.3 with an Apache 2.2.15 server and PHP
Version 5.3.3.

When I check the php error logs i get the following message :

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to
allocate 640 bytes) in /srv/www/htdocs/finances_play/search/lib/search.inc.php
on line 100

Hello mcorben.

Take a look at this solution path and let us know if it works for you:

Either make your memory size bigger (look for "256M" in
patches/patch-00164-alla.sql)

or remove some of the larger documents from your wiki that it is trying to
index. (Perhaps there are a couple of jumbo PDF documents in there ...)

Hi conz and Alex,

Thanks for your suggestions but I am still at a loss as to how to get this
patch to work.

I changed the settings in the patch-00164-alla.php file:

ini_set('max_execution_time',360000);

ini_set('memory_limit',"1024M");

I also changed the php.ini file on the server to :

memory_limit = 1024M

I do not have any files in the wiki in allocPSA so i can't see that any large
file is causing problems.

I'm at a loss ........

Can I still apply the other patches without this one ?

Hi mcorben.

I suspect that in theory, you can proceed with the other patches. If you've no
content in the wiki, then there probably isn't any downside to not having that
non-existing content aligned with v1.7.

As always, a backup of your database/site, before an upgrade, should be
performed, so that you can go back and try this again if need-be.

Hi guys,

I have been looking further into this and have found that the
wiki_module::get_wiki_path() function returns '/' (root) each time.

I have tried changing ATTACHMENTS_DIR in alloc_config.php ie
define("ATTACHMENTS_DIR", ......)

but this results in wiki_module::get_wiki_path() always giving "/"

Where is the wiki_path set ?

Thanks

Mark

It looks like the initial problem was that the wiki directory (in
ATTACHMENTS_DIR/wiki) had not been created to start with.

All appears to be working fine now!

Excellent,

that's good to hear.
