[intermittent permission denied]

I will defer to your expertise and only use cubecart with professional server management services. Good to know.

Thank you for your advice.

[intermittent permission denied]

In ini.inc.php line 171:

// Include a custom ini file, if it exists
if (file_exists(CC_ROOT_DIR.'/ini-custom.inc.php')) {
    include CC_ROOT_DIR.'/ini-custom.inc.php';
}

 

This is executed before classes/session.class.php.

Would it help to have something similar in session.class.php?

 

session.gc_probability could be set back to 0;

[intermittent permission denied]

It would be nice to have a list of php.ini settings for cubecart.

I could change the settings in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and disable ini_set();

I could change session.gc_probability depending on the server I'm hosting my web site on.

[intermittent permission denied]

I get an intermittent 'unable to access /var/lib/php5 - permission denied'.

It's genererated randomly when session_start() is called from classes/session.class.php line 600.

 

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. The directory /var/lib/php5 has permissions drwx-wx-wt  root root.

Apache's group is www-data.

 

From a post on: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2904862/issues-with-php-5-3-and-sessions-folder

"The reason it happens sporadically is that the error occurs when the session garbage collector is run, which I think by default has a 1% chance of running per session initialization. Essentially, the garbage collection is set up to be done by cron jobs on some systems (i.e. Ubuntu/Debian). Some php ini executables like php-cli also try to do garbage collection and that results in the error you got."

 

Since garbage collection is already being handled by a cron job on Ubuntu, the solution is to

set session.gc_probability to 0 in /etc/php5/apacha2/php.ini and restart apache2.

But ...

In classes/session.class.php on line 79 session.gc_probability is set to 15 which would defeat setting it to

0 in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.

 

Changing the permissions on the /var/lib/php5 would be a security risk.

What is the solution?

[[Resolved] CC6 beta2 install issue]

I downloaded CC6 beta3 and did a clean install including wiping out the database before I started.

The installation went off without a hitch.

Well done!

[[Resolved] CC6 beta2 install issue]

I installed CC6 beta2 on why laptop running Ubuntu 14.04 for testing.

The CC6 beta2 installation kept failing.

 

My /var/log/apache2/error.log file showed an error:

   access denied for user 'www-data'@'localhost' (using password NO) in /var/www/html/classes/db/mysqli.class.php

 

Although, I found the problem to be in /var/www/html/setup/setup.install.php on line 90:

$connect = mysql_connect( ... );

 

It's only a test to see if a connection could be made. I commented it out and added $connect = 1.

I also commented out a couple of ifs and an else and let everything inbetween run.

CubeCart installed.

 

I see in the file /classes/autoloader.class.php about line 117 it tests to see if the function mysqli_connect() exists.

Could this be used in setup.install.php?
