Updating from 2018 to 2019, now to master2020

Please zip and attach your tmp/log/php.log file in a response to this message.

Make a copy of your custom.config.ini file. Then obfuscate the passwords and personal info in the custom.config.ini file, and zip it. Attach the zip file to a response to this message.

Not sure what is happening. Your custom.config.ini parses correctly for me once I fill in valid database settings. So we need to troubleshoot to drill down to the problem. Attached is a zip file containing the Config.php file. Store this in your Inc/Claz folder over the existing version of the file. After doing this, do any action (display the login screen, etc.) and there will be information displayed at the top of the browser screen. Copy this information to a response to this this message. Show the info in a CODE section so nothing get misinterpreted.

Change line 45 and 46 of the Inc/Claz/Config.php file from:

$fooType = getType($config[$section]);
var_dump("gettype {$configFile}[{$section}]: {$fooType}");
to
$fooType = getType($config);
var_dump("gettype {$configFile}: {$fooType}");

and run the test again.

OK, lets just set the basics in the custom.config.ini file. Retype your lines to make sure there are no weird characters in them. Also, there is an updated Config.php file in the zip below. It checks for the false return that you are getting and shows a generic error rather stack dump.

I’ve loaded updated library files in the latest version of master_2020. Use this and see if you still have an issue, let me know.

When you load an update, you should load all the files. I start by making a backup copy of what I have, then delete all existing folders, extract the update from the zip file into your empty directory, then copy the config/custom.config.ini file from your backed up copy to the config directory of the update. Then run SI. This way you make sure that you have no residual files that might be a problem.
