Trying to upgrade from 1.7.4 to 1.7.9

Get Help
1

Hi,

Got some trouble to upgrade.

Here is what I’ve done :

Fresh centos 7 install
import database (with the same user as my old 1.7.4)
untar cms 1.7.9
put my settings.php in my cms repository

and now When I try to go to my cms web page I got a blank screen. No upgrade page.

here is the error when I put the display error in the lib/include.php :

Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 
'Stash\Exception\InvalidArgumentException' with message 'Failed to 
create cache path.' in 
/var/www/html/xibo/3rdparty/stash/src/Stash/Utilities.php:225
Stack trace:

#0 /var/www/html/xibo/3rdparty/stash/src/Stash/Driver/FileSystem.php(176): Stash\Utilities::checkFileSystemPermissions('/opt/xibolib/ca...', 504)

#4 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/xibo/3rdparty/stash/src/Stash/Utilities.php on line 225"

any idea ?

after some research, I tried to change the 2 files from the stash modul : Utilities.php and FileSystem.php. I get some from stash Github repo.

But didn’t solved the problem…

stash modul isn’t present in 1.7.4 (wanted to get files from my old server).

Thx for replies

Are you sure your library location is writeable on your new installation? The stash filesystem driver will be trying to create a cache sub-folder under your library folder.

I did a chown -R apache:apache on my xibo folder.

Do you want me to try a 777 ?

sorry for my fast previous answer.
apache can create a folder into lib :

sudo -u apache mkdir /var/www/html/xibo/lib/toto

result

 ls -al

Where was your previous DB library configured to be saved? It is possible that the paths are not the same?

7

previous lib path :
/var/www/html/xibo/lib

new lib path:

/var/www/html/xibo/lib

8

Oh really, I am amazed that works - lib is a code include path - if you had maintenance enabled on your old install it would have deleted itself.

Your library path should be outside the web root - for example /var/www/library/

Also strnage - if you look at the error message it would imply that the library path is actually elsewhere? /opt/xibolib/ca...

Perhaps your old LIBRARY_LOCATION was actually configured as lib/ ?

just to be sure you got all informations :

I 'm trying to to put my settings.php and my database (1.7.4) on a new server with xibo 1.7.9.

Really thx for your help.

OK, so you need to look at your old installation, in the web UI and check your library location - i suspect lib/. You then really need to change that in your database backup dump to something more appropriate - i.e. /var/www/xibo_library or similar.

Of you can edit that in your current restore of that DB using the mysql client.

sorry for my bad language :

OH MY F… GOD !!!

You are right !!!

… so sry !!! I feel like newbie …

my xibo lib path in the web ui : /opt/xibolib/

So sry to have made you loose your time with me…

Il will try to create the same path to my library on my new server and give you feedback in 1 hour (meeting time).

you are great !!

it’s ok for the upgrade.

last question :

after upgrading my xibo server from 1.7.4 to 1.7.9 do I need to upgrade my client ?

1 more time : really thx !!!
Alex

While not strictly necessary, it would be best and recommended to use Xibo for Windows 1.7.9 as well.

14

ok cool. I will do the client upgrade but not ALL at the same time. I can do a “soft” migration.

Thx all
