Why Error 500

ernestdefoe

KARAM_SIDHU almost sounds like you need a new host that doesn’t have such issues. Heck VPS’s are so cheap now a days plus with all the guides out there you could literally get by on a $10 or less a month VPS with no control panel and have full control over everything. Even if you wanted a control panel you could use something like Ploi which has a free tier and is similar to Laravel Forge that I really like and install it on a small VPS (I use Hetzner as they are cheap) and you could have full control over things. Plus it wouldn’t break the bank and be about the same price as most shared hosts.

ernestdefoe I've been with this host for years now. I'm going with a VPS with the same host in future, just not now as i'm still under development and would stick with it until sometime upon launch. I rarely experience issues with this host actually, just that, this time things went longer. Anyways, appreciate your suggestion. Let's get back to the Quiestion ...

SychO

KARAM_SIDHU is that all? past days would also be useful, this one only contains logs for update checks. there should be logs or actual extension installs

KARAM_SIDHU

SychO i've checked, there is another 1 and it is similar to this which is solely about updates.

ernestdefoe

KARAM_SIDHU so there’s no file in the log folder that starts with flarum?

KARAM_SIDHU

ernestdefoe in the log folder there is, but in composer's specific folder [ storage>logs>composer] there is nothing different than the one i've provided as above.

What i found from the logs [storage>logs]:
The Latest:
[I've Removed it for Privacy]

KARAM_SIDHU

When proceeded to Remove Extensions that are installed via Extension Manager, This error appeared:
[I've Removed it for Privacy]

KARAM_SIDHU

KARAM_SIDHU I've proceeded to remove extensions that are installed with extension manager together with extension manager for now. I executed composer remove for all those extensions, however i still see their leftover [residues] in my vendor folder, then i checked my composer.json and ensured none that is removed is still listed over there and found that none that i would like to remove is listed there and proceeded to execute composer update --no-plugins --no-scripts and then php flarum cache:clear. However, the left-overs are still there in the vendor folder. Am i doing it as per how it should? any other way to remove those? @SychO

KARAM_SIDHU are you certain the remove command completed without any error ? Can you run it again and share its complete output with us ?

The escapeshellarg error is worth investigating. This is a native PHP function that should be available, unless your hosting explicitly disabled it or compiled PHP with only specific features.

The Swiftmailer error you can ignore, it's a warning for developers that will be addressed in Flarum V2.

KARAM_SIDHU

clarkwinkelmann this is the command i executed for removal:
[I've Removed it for Privacy]

KARAM_SIDHU

clarkwinkelmann there seems to be no error message, however the attached file is the output command for your reference:
[I've Removed it for Public Privacy]

KARAM_SIDHU

clarkwinkelmann Upon running again, I still see the files in vendor folder and my database via phpmyadmin. I do realise when i attempt to clear cache from administrator level there is an error appears as Could not write to filesystem. Check your filesystem permissions and try again. Or try running from the command line.

KARAM_SIDHU

KARAM_SIDHU The residues that i realised is, When i visit my vendor folder, i can see blomstra folder and when i open it, there is turnstile folder and files in it. There are other folders as well.

When i checked at the database via phpmyadmin, i am able to see some tables related to fof upload which was already removed way earlier and extension manager table which is recently removed.

I've requested for another round of removal.

KARAM_SIDHU your folder permissions aren’t right which I’m gonna guess is the reason the files are still present in the vendor directory after uninstalling extensions. Look under the folder ownership section in the install docs located at https://docs.flarum.org/install/ and then try again. Pay special attention to the chown command as you may likely need to execute that command to be able to set the permissions done by the chmod command correctly. I know I had issues with things like this in the past because I didn’t chown the files and folders.

clarkwinkelmann

Which action causes a 422 error ? If this is the one in the last screenshot of KARAM_SIDHU , this appears to have nothing to do with installing or enabling extension. You are just trying to save invalid CCS and 422 is a validation error saying right on the page that it cannot parse the CSS. The syntax error is probably because you didn't prefix your comment with a comment delimiter.

If you are stuck and think it's because of a bad manipulation at some point, I would suggest installing a fresh forum, either on the same server or locally, just to test if you have the same issues or not. If all works well locally or on a different host I would abandon the current hosting as this is making Flarum a lot more difficult than it has to be.

KARAM_SIDHU

ernestdefoe do executing the chown command would revert or ammend all permissions related to files and folder accordingly as per how it should?

ernestdefoe

KARAM_SIDHU yes it should and maybe you’ll start seeing less errors on things not working right especially the extension manager. I know I had issues in the past till I actually did the part on folder ownership. To get things to work right I’d have to do 077 for permissions to even install Flarum but it never worked right. Did the chown command and set the permissions correctly and never had issues related to permissions again.

KARAM_SIDHU

Managed to get the error 409 removed. However, Error 422 still present. Should i work on to eliminate the residues of the removed extensions first?

KARAM_SIDHU

KARAM_SIDHU My vendor folder contains all this folders:
[I've Removed it for Privacy]

Else than that, there is autoload.php file.
The flarum folder contains the core extension folders.

Currently i am not running any external extensions else than those that came with the core version. Are this folders supposed to be there as per how it is now or any should i remove?
Or is there any could be considered as residues that i should remove as i've removed the extensions which was installed via extension manager due to risk of corrupted installation.

I do realised that fof/upload isn't there in my extension list and not even listed on composer.json file, however, there is database table when checked through phpmyadmin known as fof_upload_downloads, fof_uploads_files and fof_upload_file_posts that somehow i think belongs to the removed fof/upload extension. Should i drop the tables?
