The Elearning Community

Hi,

I have a fresh install of FormaLMS.
I tried to create a course (just code, course name, course type and status) but the process fails with the message 'Error while processing the requested operation'.

How would I diagnose this? Are there logs I can review? I am assuming that the system is just unable to create database records maybe? I didn't find anything in the system syslog or Apache's log.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry

Set do_debug true in config.php
You will fire a fatal error.

Hi,

The large number of errors make me think I missed something fundamental.

The landing page displayed a large number of errors, all of this flavor:

Thanks,

There's no fatal.
I need those logs with the user who would receive the blank page.

Hi,
Which log do you need to see? If it is MySQL logs, I have not been able to get them into the syslog as yet.
I'm eager to provide, I just need specifics about how to get what you need.
I am the only user at this point, just trying to bring it to a running, functional state so we can evaluate it.
Thanks,
Larry

I need apache/php logs when you got blank page.
If you aren't able to catch 'em, please consider to ask for help with debugging.

Hi,
I am working on getting the logging working. I used the F12 console explorer in the browser to see some of what was happening, and I see a lot of 'missing file' messages... It's not a question of users seeing a blank page, it's that I can't even add content, this site is only partially functional.

I looked on the server, and these files are not there. Could this be the source of my problem?

I am attaching two screen shots of what I see on the screen.

Thanks,

Larry

I need server logs, those are client logs.

Hi,

I have verified that apache2 is writing to syslog. I used two simple php files with the error_log() function and confirmed the messages are showing up in /var/log/syslog. The first file just exercises the error_log() function. I got this in the syslog, tagged with apache2:

Mar 15 18:45:33 fp-web01 apache2: test error

I broke the second file to generate a parsing error, and confirmed PHP is logging through apache2:

Mar 15 18:45:37 fp-web01 apache2: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting end of file in /var/www/formalms/error-check2.php on line 4

I ran this script to test database connectivity:
<?php
$mysqli_connection = new MySQLi('localhost', 'formalms', 'formalms', 'formalms');
if ($mysqli_connection->connect_error) {
echo "Not connected, error: " . $mysqli_connection->connect_error;
error_log("Not Connected");
}
else {
echo "Connected.";
error_log("Connected");
}

and got this in the syslog:
Mar 15 18:55:02 fp-web01 apache2: Connected

When I run the Forma site, no errors show up in the syslog. Everything appears to be functioning, it just won't save any data. I'm at a loss...

Any ideas? I would send you logs, but they don't contain anything useful yet. My next step will be to try an insert operation and see what happens.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi,

I also created a test database, verified I could get my formalms account to access it and read records from it.
After that, I verified I could write new records into it, both times using php files under the formalms folder using the formalms credentials.

I'm getting nowhere fast. Should I just start over? I'm afraid I'll get back to the exact same place and still be stuck...
