phpBB 3.1.8 RC1 released

[nickvergessen]

At step: Check files, the scripts run successfully to display the Modified files.

Any link I select will open a new window and repeat the full fill difference process. It executes "Collecting file differences" and loops back to the "Check files" step.

For example includes/functions.php has: [Show merged differences] with the following link:

Code: Select all

http://localhost/forum/install/index.php?language=en_us&mode=update&sub=file_check&action=diff&status=modified&file=includes%2Ffunctions.php

The URL which executes is:

Code: Select all

http://localhost/forum/install/index.php?language=en_us&mode=update&sub=file_check

How can this be debugged? (Perhaps it's the language pack, I'll try this next.)

This works here with english only update from 7-pl1 to 8-rc1

I have performed a clean install of 3.1.6 (new database, no file modifications), but including my extensions. The package update_3.1.6_to_3.1.8-RC1.tar.bz2 is functioning as expected, I can view the file contents. The update was successful.

I do not understand why my production database and files have an error, but this is now my problem and I will continue to debug.

I have discovered the root cause of my problem: memcache.

My production server and localhost development PC both have memcache installed. I do not understand why I am seeing this problem now, as I have been using memcache since version 3.1.5.

In config.php, I replaced my production:

Code: Select all

$acm_type = 'memcache';	

with the 3.1.6 stock entry:

Code: Select all

$acm_type = 'phpbb\\cache\\driver\\file';	

I was able to view file differences and successfully complete the upgrade process. After the upgrade was completed, I changed config.php back to my original configuration (db names and passwords are examples). phpBB 3.1.8-RC1 is working as expected.

Code: Select all

<?php
// phpBB 3.1.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'postgres';
$dbhost = '';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = 'Test';
$dbuser = 'Test';
$dbpasswd = 'Testpasswd';
$table_prefix = '';
$acm_type = 'memcache';
$load_extensions = '';

@define('PHPBB_DISPLAY_LOAD_TIME', true);

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
// @define('DEBUG', true);
// @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);

Additional details: /phpbb/cache/driver/memcache.php is pointing to localhost:

Code: Select all

if (!defined('PHPBB_ACM_MEMCACHE_HOST'))
{
	define('PHPBB_ACM_MEMCACHE_HOST', 'localhost');
}

While debugging, be sure to clear the cache/ directory before entering the file checking step.

===========================
Did I miss a step somewhere that would cause this problem? Otherwise, this is a blocker to upgrading.

A ticket and pull request have been submitted by marc1706. I do not confirm the fix and have requested assistance here: PHPBB3-14496 Automatic update relies on cache creating files in cache folder

[Lady_G]

The fix has been revised and confirmed.
