Error when refreshing + installing Flarum cont'd

quirp

If I try to refresh on any other page than /forums, I end up on an error-page.
Any ideas?

Not Found

The requested URL /forums/tags was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

++ Logout doesn't work either

quirp

I f*cked up. I've been happily fiddling with css via admin/appearence, and suddenly after saving - the site was inaccessible. I must've placed a wrong bracket or something.
Can you point me to the file where costumization changes are saved?

clarkwinkelmann

Most probably an Htaccess/NGINX config error.

What server are you running ? Apache/NGINX ?

By the way, can you access the /forums/admin page ?

EDIT: not seen your second post. Can you open the developer console (in Chrome/Firefox) and see if any javascript or markup error appears ?

Settings are saved in the settings table of the database. You should be able to set the appearance values to empty

clarkwinkelmann By the way, can you access the /forums/admin page ?

Not anymore, a second ago it was fine.

I'm running

Apache Version 2.4.18
PHP Version 5.6.18
MySQL Version 5.5.53-MariaDB
Architecture x86_64
Operating System linux

on a shared server

Yeah, I had htaccess in mind, too.
Would it suffice for me to upload the file from github onto my server?

this is what I get via the console:

This sounds like all's going to be lost - any chance of retrieving what I've changed? Those are quite some hours in that database.

And i just thought to myself a few minutes ago that I'd better make a backup~

You don't have to delete the whole table - just the rows that correspond to the settings you messed up. But I have no idea which ones it is in your case.

quirp this is what I get via the console

You get a 500 error now ? You should get details on this one in the error log file. If all 500 errors are resolved the interesting tab would then be "Console" there.

quirp

clarkwinkelmann You don't have to delete the whole table - just the rows that correspond to the settings you messed up. But I have no idea which ones it is in your case.

I hope I will recognize them. This is what I've tried to implement just before the crash:

This is newest error-log-entry:

[09-Feb-2017 02:06:09 UTC] PHP Deprecated: The third argument to Zend\Stratigility\MiddlewarePipe() ($out) will be required starting with Stratigility version 2; please see https://docs.zendframework.com/zend-stratigility/migration/to-v2/ for more details on how to update your application to remove this message. in /home/zeitling/public_html/forums/vendor/zendframework/zend-stratigility/src/MiddlewarePipe.php on line 101

(repeatedly)

edit

yep! found it in the database, removed it and now it works again. So, back to the refreshing-problem.
(Thank you for the hint!)

clarkwinkelmann

For the zend error message you should have a look here: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4218-zend-stratigility-debug-message-after-composer-update This may be why you can't navigate in the forum.

That HTML should not crash the page... Anyway it's probably stored in the row where key = custom_header. Just delete this line through PHPMyAdmin and it will be removed from the site.

quirp

clarkwinkelmann That HTML should not crash the page... Anyway it's probably stored in the row where key = custom_header. Just delete this line through PHPMyAdmin and it will be removed from the site.

Yeah, I've been disfiguring it further en route.

wwwill Add "zendframework/zend-stratigility": "1.2.1", in the require section of the composer.json file.
and do an composer update after deleting the composer.lock file.

I found the composer.json-file, added what was proposed. However, I have one problem. I cannot access my server via SSH and hence cannot run a composer update. How important is this part? Is there a way around it?

quirp

SO, good news and bad news.
I just copied an .htaccess file to the forums-directory and copy-pasted this into it:
https://github.com/flarum/flarum/blob/master/.htaccess

The good news: I now can refresh any page anywhere.
The bad news: The admin panel and only the admin panel gives me an internal server-error.

edit
more bad news: I cannot perform actions on the now refreshable sites (Post new Discussion)

clarkwinkelmann

I'm starting to get lost too ?

Anyway, if there's a new 500 error, try to find the error log. Nobody can guess what happen ?

For the zend error with no SSH, you would need to add the composer line on your local computer, run composer update there and remove then upload the whole vendor folder on the server through FTP. Like you did it the first time probably.

quirp

:'D
Everything will be fine.

the errorlog hasn't changed actually. It's still the most recent entry.

clarkwinkelmann you would need to add the composer line on your local computer, run composer update there and remove then upload the whole vendor folder on the server through FTP. Like you did it the first time probably.

Do you think you can guide me through this? Which composer line? "zendframework/zend-stratigility": "1.2.1" ?
install? require? update?

$ composer require zendframework/zend-stratigility": "1.2.1"

gives me:

 [InvalidArgumentException]                                                   

  Could not find package 1.2.1 at any version for your minimum-stability (sta  

  ble). Check the package spelling or your minimum-stability

$ composer update does nothing so far..

edit

composer require zendframework/zend-stratigility": "1.2.1" /require --stability=beta

prompts

                                                          

  [Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RuntimeException]  

  The "--stability" option does not exist.

clarkwinkelmann

Is that a recent Flarum install ? That stability should never be stable ?

You should edit the line about minimum-stability so it says "minimum-stability": "beta", (or add it at the bottom of the file if it's not there)

Then you can run the command composer require zendframework/zend-stratigility": "1.2.1" (you were right). This will add a line in composer.json. Here's mine for reference: (with a few extensions)

    },

    "prefer-stable": true
}

And then run composer update to take your changes into account and update the vendor folder.

And finally you can upload your files back to the server (make sure you remove the vendor folder from the server first so you don't keep any previous file there)

quirp

Okay, let's hope that it works then.

clarkwinkelmann You should edit the line about minimum-stability so it says "minimum-stability": "beta", (or add it at the bottom of the file if it's not there)

Pardon my naiveté, but.. which file?

quirp

Nice, merci. I will try that - but first what the inspector-console is giving me

All these 500 may be related to the zend issue. Because even when the requests work, the warning appears and changes the status to 500 ?

clarkwinkelmann

It all happens in composer.json ?

quirp

Live and learn. (Thanks for your help btw).

So, am I doing this right? I guess not.

> composer require zendframework/zend-stratigility": "1.2.1" ~/forums "minimum-stability": "beta"
                                                                               

  [InvalidArgumentException]                                                   

  Could not find package 1.2.1 at any version for your minimum-stability (sta  

  ble). Check the package spelling or your minimum-stability

(~/forums being the folder where I originally downloaded flarum into)

"minimum-stability": "beta" I would add where I formerly put the following into the composer.json file on my server, right?

so, insted of

zendframework/zend-stratigility": "1.2.1"

simply

zendframework/zend-stratigility": "1.2.1" "minimum-stability": "beta"

into the require-section of the (local) composer.json file?
