TangoCMS Forums

You'll more than likely have to clear the TangoCMS cache. This can be done by going to "Settings -> Cache & Performance". Once done, it should all work. If not, let me know

*all* URLs? Eh, that shouldn't happen. But yes, if you're using the default file cache then you can safely remove the ./tmp/cache directory.

What tables are you copying over? Are you trying to merge to TangoCMS installs, if not - then why not just copy all tables over, and your configuration directory (./config/default) and away you go? =)

So when you go to /session, or /users in your browser all you get is a 404 page generated by TangoCMS? Are there rows in the tcm_acl_{rules,roles,resources} table?

And your tcm_modules table has rows in as well? Beyond this, I really don't know what is going on I'm afraid. I can try to help further if you would like to provide me with either access to edit the files (so I can do some debugging) or if you want to provide me with the database so I can try it locally here. If so, email it over to alex@tangocms.org

Actually, the "author" column in all the rows of tcm_mod_articles *are* already my correct user ID (unless it's supposed to be the ID for the guest account?). So I guess it must be something else.

Well, I can clear the cache through the admin panel now, but that didn't help :( Actually, there wasn't anything cached anyway. Tried disabling the cache too, didn't work.

Ahh, I think I'm starting to get the hang of TangoCMS's DB now. I didn't copy over the original tcm_acl_{resources,rules} tables because they had been clobbered along with the account and settings data.

So, my tcm_acl_resources table had one article category entry: "article-cat-1", which corresponds to the id of the one category that is showing up. My tcm_acl_rules table had two rows for article-cat-1: One granting access to 'guest' and one granting access to root.

I added similar entries for the rest of my article categories to those two DB tables, and now those categories are showing up as well. Still no articles yet, but I kind of expected that since, so far, I've only granted access to the categories. So, about getting the articles working:

I assume the articles themselves work similarly to the categories, right? If so, what's the format of the names for the articles that I should use in tcm_acl_resources? Is it "article-{id# of article}"? Something else? Or does it work on the basis of article *parts* instead of articles? Or do I need to grant access for *both* the articles and the article parts?

On a related note, I have a suggestion/feature request: The setup pages should have, in addition to "Install" and "Update", there should also be a link to *just* check all the file/directory permissions without reinstalling or changing anything.

That's how I managed to screw up my original DB in the first place: My web host switched me to a different server, but they screwed up my file permissions. I didn't know how the permissions were supposed to be set, and I remembered that the necessary file permissions weren't really documented. But I did remember that early on in the installation process there was a part that automatically told me what files/dirs needed to be setup for R/W access and which of them were already working and which were not-yet-working. So I thought I could *just* run that part of the installation process and not actually finish a reinstallation. But by the time I realized what was really going on, it had already wiped a few of my DB tables. And yea, I know I should have had a backup, but I didn't think to since I wasn't expecting to make any DB changes at all: I was just thinking "Setting up file/dir permissions...".

"But you're saying you can view all the categories, but no articles in there?"

That's right.

Not off the top of my head. Are you sure the tcm_mod_articles.cat_id value matches those in tcm_mod_article_cats.id?

And what is the URL you're going to that the articles don't display on?

And there was nothing added to the error_log

It's HTTP 1.1 on all other pages it serves, including all other TangoCMS pages. *Only* the "article/view/{article identifier}" is giving 0.9, and only when {article identifier} is valid. And it all worked before I went and damaged my original DB.

You know, I already admitted I know I should have had a backup. I don't appreciate you repeatedly rubbing it in.

You're going to run into other issues with that tweak that rely on those tags.

I recall this issue, someone had it a while back and I wasn't able to replicate it on the 3 different test environments I had at the time. PHP segfaults are not fun to track down and sadly your tweak is not where the issue is, but further within the framework.

IIRC, reCaptcha will work without any modifications to the code.

I never got around to tracking it down any further, but my host recently migrated my account to another server (this one with PHP 5.2.17 and Apache 2.2.21) and it's working now, so I'm satisfied. Thanks for the help!
