core update crashes


Installation and Configuration

The marketplace module already does this via it's jrMarket_reset_opcode_caches() function - which probably works 99% of the time. There's just no way to guarantee that every update is going to work 100% of the time, all the time, every time.

There are a lot of variables in play on servers that are outside of Jamroom's control, and any of these could play a part in keeping something from working as it should (firewalls, extra server caches, file system caching, 3rd party "optimizers", MySQL database quotas and "security" add ons, etc.)

The best defense against this is to have a good understanding of how your server works, and what to do (and where to look) when problems occur, because at some point problems WILL occur with any server, and your downtime is going to depend on how ready you are for that.

Core update 500 error


Installation and Configuration

There are always changes between versions, but I'm certain there is not a syntax error in router.php - in fact I just updated this site:

http://testinstall.tdsdk.com/

to 5.2.41 without issue. I've also downloaded the 5.2.41 core from the site here, and there are no issues in router.php either:

>php -l router.php
No syntax errors detected in router.php

If you're seeing a problem in that script, then it means it is getting corrupted on your system sometime after being downloaded.

Skin not loading


Jamroom Developers

DannyA:That's impossible to know. If I disable it, I'll never see other people's systems. :). However, I have had it happen to me once or twice before when i did not have the recorder running and it resolved when I cleared the cache.

I would suspect something might be corrupting your cache - about the only thing I can think of that would break things like that (and if it is fixed by clearing caches).

Still Unable to upgrade


Using Jamroom

Ken Rich:Hi Brian,

Please excuse my ignorance. When you say download your modules and skins do you mean via FTP and upload via FTP to the new site.

Or are you talking about some tool built into Jamroom that I am unaware of?

Yes - SFTP.

Sorry you're having these issues - I'm just not sure what to recommend. If you're getting syntax errors in the script, just double check it has been downloaded correctly - I'm not sure what else it would be.

Still Unable to upgrade


Using Jamroom

1) Setup a new domain on your server
2) Download your modules and skins and uploaded to the new domain
3) run integrity check so the modules and skins are installed

That will basically give you a new site with your existing modules and skins.

Are you sure this is not a byproduct of your session recorder?

Not seeing any issues in router.php - double check the package has been downloaded and unzipped correctly.

Replacing special Latin characters in friendly URLs issue


Using Jamroom

That should have worked - are you creating a NEW profile? It's not going to fix one that was already created. If it still does not work, I would need to get access (FTP) to your server so I can find out why.

Hope this helps!
