Every weekend I have the habit of doing an apt-get upgrade on my
Ubuntu system. If anything, to make sure that I have the latest
security patches .
It is quite routine, and most (if not all) of the time all goes well
- and I don't have to do any post upgrade cleanup. I thought this
week was going to be no different - well, I was wrong....
For some reason or another I didn't notice that the Midgard debian
packages had been upgrades. Worse yet, i didn't know that the
packages in question were mayor ones. So, I proceeded with the apt-
get update; apt-get upgrade and after I said yes - noticed that
Midgard components were being upgraded.
I checked the website after the upgrade, and surely enough - it
didn't work. First it was some nasty NAP error . Upon searching in
Google i noticed that upgrading Midcom from 2.2 to 2.4, well is not
trivial. Luckily I found Torben's post that gave me some hints on
what the issue is about and how to fix it.
From there, i followed the steps - downloaded and installed the new
Midcom, and configured the new midcom.conf file in /etc/midgard.
After that, well - i thought that would be it. I signed onto the
webpage, and - at first - all seemed to work. However, when creating
a subtopic i got this nasty looking error...
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/share/
pear/midcom/lib/midcom /helper/misc.php(657) : eval()'d code(26) :
eval()'d code on line 100
I looked all over for help - on google, in newgroups and mail
messages - all to no avail. Then, with a bit of time - I tried the
true and trusted information source that for some reason always seems
to lead to very productive leads...that being, asking the question on
the #midgard channel :)
After describing the problem , Piotras asked if I had OpenPSA
installed. I answered yes, as it is installed - but i never use it. I
then though - hmm, could it be that OpenPSA needs to be upgraded
too... well, i gave it a shot. I looked at the OpenPSA page from
there, I downloaded the latest (non beta) version. After that, i did
the following:
bunzip2 openpsa-1.12.1.tar.bz2 tar xvf openpsa-1.12.1.tar cd
openpsa-1.12.1 gunzip *.gz
Then I moved the openpsa xml file so that i could import it with
datagard
cp openpsa.xml /usr/share/midgard/data
then i started DATAGARD and imported/updated the openpsa application.
After the upgrade, I logged into my site, tried adding a subtopic and
it...WORKED!
So again, thanks are in order to Henri, Piotras and fine members of
the #midgard chat channel !
