Reggie Thomson’s Diary

I was having problems with my test website after deactivating the gengo plug-in. Whenever I clicked on a link, I got a “Woops - the server tried all options but could not find the page you requested” (or similar) message.

To solve it, I reactivated gengo (this meant that the admin panel disappeared - blank page because I haven’t enabled phperrors). I then used phpmyadmin to put the gengo plug-in as the last in the list in “active_plugins” on the table “wp-options”. This allowed me to navigate to the “gengo” page and perform an “uninstall”, which simultaneously deactivated the plug-in. I now have all my permalinks available again.

When I activate the plug-in “gengo” after activating “geo”, “wp-amazon”, “wp-contact-form” and “wpg2″ (which all seem to work prior to activating gengo), I get the following error (in the admin page):

Call to undefined function get_currentuserinfo() in /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/gengo/gengo.php on line 1080

I then go the phpmyadmin and edit the “active_plugins” on the table “wp_wordpress_options”, putting the gengo to the last item in the list. This seemed to solve the problem in wp-admin.

However, the site itself gets the error:

Call to a member function wp_rewrite_rules() on a non-object in /wordpress/wp-includes/classes.php on line 33

Also, on visiting the wpg2 admin page, the following error shows:

Checking System Status…

Warning: main(/tmp/gallery2/embed.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /gallery/embed.php on line 3

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/…/gallery2/embed.php’ (include_path=”) in /gallery/embed.php on line 3

Oops. I didn’t follow the instructions in the readme.txt file

3. Move the file “wp-gallery2.php” from the /wpg2/root/ directory to your wordpress root directory, the directory that contains wp-config.php.

The gallery problems seem to be in gallery itself, not in WordPress. For the moment, I will disable both gengo and gallery2 (wpg2).

The following plug-ins do not appear to work with gengo 0.9 (multi-language plug-in) and WordPress 2.1.3:

The next error in the upgrade from WordPress 2.0.7 to 2.1 is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in E:\…..\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\mytube\ytube.php on line 216

I am using the MyTube plug-in to insert YouTube videos on my blogs.

The PHP manual for CURL states:

Note to Win32 Users: In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll must be present in your PATH.

On my Apache 2.0.54 / PHP 5.2.0 / MySQL 4.1.22 windows XP system, that meant copying the two files from “\Program Files\PHP5\” to “\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\modules\php\”

This did not work. I then tried to move them into “\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\” but they were already there!

From the phpinfo file (which I permit only to a logged-in administrator user on my webserver because it leaks the MySQL passwords), I noted that the php.ini file still had the line:

include_path = “c:\program files\php4;c:\program files\jhead”

when the new version of PHP was in the directory “c:\program files\php5″.

Rectifying this also failed to remove the problem.

I tried stopping and restarting Apache, with no success.

I notice my online phpinfo() reveals that

curl

The solution was to enable the module in php.ini by uncommenting the line:

extension=php_curl.dll

and then restarting Apache.

This is not really an upgrade problem - I guess I only noticed it when I uploaded the recent data from online to the offline site, and then upgraded WordPress.

I’ve had a few spam comments slipping through the Akismet filters, so I’ve decided to add Bad Behaviour. I’ll need to tidy up the footer, though. To be honest, I don’t have many comments on my blogs, so I could probably disable them completely.

I’ve upgraded my WordPress test website to WordPress2.0.6.

Now, the French language page is blank.

I enable PHP errors to be visible by updating the .htaccess to include:

php_flag  display_errors  on

The error is reported as

Fatal error: Class ‘CachedFileReader’ not found in /…./wp-includes/wp-l10n.php on line 67

A local search of the contents of all the files on the wordpress directory gave this clue in wp-content/plugins/gengo/readme.txt

= I get “Fatal error: cannot instantiate non-existant class cachedfilereader” =

You have to set WPLANG in your wp-config.php file to be the default language locale.

I edit config.php to put the default language to English

// Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', 'en');

And everything works (even though there is no corresponding en.MO file in the wp-includes/languages directory).

I’ve just updated to Wordpress 2.0.6.

There didn’t seem to be any upgrades to the database this time.

I notice that Audioplayer seems not to work properly - it gets stuck in the “buffering” stage and doesn’t start playing.

[audio:test.mp3]

I shall post this and test in MSIE.

Resolved: There was an incorrect setting in the Audio player options.

The correct setting, under “Options” -> “Audio Player” -> “Audio files directory” should be “/wp-content/uploads/audio”.

Note: I use this so that I can upload audio files using the Organiser plug-in.

I’ve updated another blog, and get the following error

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1]
SELECT category_nicename AS original, sanitised FROM wp_chinese_categories c INNER JOIN wp_chinese_cat2syn syn ON c.cat_ID = syn.cat_id WHERE c.category_nicename IN ('classes') AND syn.language_id =....

I thought it was an Ultimate Tag Warrior problem, but it is just a Gengo installation problem - I had the plug-in activated, but hadn’t set the default languages.

Looking in my error logs, I see:

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: livePreviewDivAdded in /.../wp-content/plugins/live-comment-preview.php on line 24, referer: http://www.fionamacleod.org/ 

It probably explains why “live-comment-preview” didn’t work, and so was deleted from my installation.
