schestowitzI've looked at SugarCRM to see if I can help. What I think would be preferable is, unpack the tarball/gunzip, do a diff on most/all files, especially those that yield PHP errors. This may help reveal where the problem lies. Also, disabling any plugins that exist may help a lot, as some might not be compatible with the latest version that has a different hooks structure. Starting 'fresh' and then throwing in the database would Jan 26 20:37
schestowitzpresent two issues: 1) the database might not have been upgraded and thus be incompatible. 2) you never find the source of the problem.Jan 26 20:37
*abeNd-org (~Keith@76.0.118.52) has joined #boycottnovell-socialJan 26 20:37
schestowitzDepending on the structure of SugarCRM, it may be possible, based on experience I have had with other such software, to separate program files from the content files (e.g. uploaded files, not the database) and then run everything afresh. To achieve this, ensure you back up the database and the program files, then unpack the latest (packaged) version and drop it on top or instead of the existing files. The first option, which Jan 26 20:38
schestowitzis less likely to work but helps keep the content in place without much tampering, goes like this:Jan 26 20:38
schestowitzLet's say sugarcrm is installed into ~/sugarcrm and under this directory you have a settings file (.php or another format to indicate where the DB is, among other key details), some uploaded files in a content directory, along with plugins (if any). After you have backed up the entire lot, uncompress the 'clean' (as in well-tested, officially distributed) sugarcrm file from the company's site, remove from it any content-Jan 26 20:39
schestowitzrelated directory and settings files, then copy it to ~/sugarcrm, overwriting everything (content won't be overwritten and neither will settings files if the 'clean' version was sanitised). See the effect this then has on the front end of the software.Jan 26 20:39
schestowitzIf this does not work, e.g. if some files remained from old versions of the software, then do the same but without overwriting anything, just adding all the 'clean' files to the context directory/ies (if any) and the settings file/s. This is almost guaranteed to work and it's reversible since you have backups.Jan 26 20:40

schestowitzThanks for sticking with me all that time last week. That week took a toll on me personally, starting with some hardware issues and then some Internet issues and Techrights issues. All 3 issues were corrosive and I think the last one was finally addressed by a software update. WordPress had a crucial security fix released 2 days ago; I think it may be the cause for the recent issues -- all of them. In fact, since the upgrade Jan 26 23:17
schestowitzof the software there has been no downtime at all. Another site on the same domain, copilotco (Tracy's site) suffered none of the same issue and the wiki coped better than WordPress. Either way, let's hope this whole chaos is behind us now. Spending hours per day babysitting the site rather than writing new stories for it is emotionally difficult. BT will probably send an engineer to deal with my conection at home -- it's why Jan 26 23:17
schestowitzI keep falling offline a lot since one week ago. This has been unpleasant, but I coped.Jan 26 23:17
schestowitzOn another note, wife & I just had a very long chat about all sorts of matters and we agreed that it would make sense for me to explore full-time academia. This doesn't mean neglect of Techrights, but it certainly would leave far less time for campaigning. I guess it's a bit of both worlds and academia tends to lend credibility to campaigns anyway.Jan 26 23:17
schestowitzThanks for helping with Techrights. You're a true friend.Jan 26 23:17
