My experience with 0.7RC1

adrianmarsh · 2007-10-17 18:00:27

Hi,

Thought I'd publish what I've seen so far today in initially trying out 0.7RC1.

I copied my DB schema to a new schema.
Unpacked the files onto the server.
The install scripts seemed to say everything was ok.. however.. during one of the DB conversions, it got to 68%, and then the webpage wasn't refreshing (maybe a script timeout?)

When I then tried to access the system again, it was a different installer page that showed, and said that my DB needed updating.. which it then seemed to do ok.

After login, I've noticed in the Computers list, a lot of erroneous entries. Some seem to be "old" entries (when compare to the Production 0.68 system).

Others seem to be complete rubbish.. so I wonder if the DB got corrupted?

I'll delete the DB, re-import and start again tomorrow.

One feature I'd like to learn more about is the email support thats been added:

- I know theres no 0.7RC1 documentation yet, but is there any rough notes?
- Will it Update existing tickets by email, or just initially create them?
- Does it use POP or IMAP?

I know I'll probably figure these out as I try the new 0.7, but a headsup would be good.

Thanks,

Adrian

I think that the upgrade process hangs. Perhaps you need to give more oxygen to PHP.

Please modify php.ini entry for :

max_execution_time : 260
#
max_input_time : 260
#
memory_limit : 128MO

- I know theres no 0.7RC1 documentation yet, but is there any rough notes?

Dev documentation in progress is here https://dev.indepnet.net:8080/glpi/wiki … ultiEntity
But it is in french sorry.

Just initally create them.

Does it use POP or IMAP?

Both.

Ok.. Mixed feedback to give today.

I wiped the DB again, and re-imported from the old one. I made the PHP.ini changes as above.

I then tried to access the system, and it told me it needed to update the DB, which it said it did. I access the test system with a URL of /glpinew and the Production system with /glpi

Once the DB was updated, whenever I accessed /glpinew, I was redirected to /glpi (I wasn't aware GLPI knew about its "location")..

I found the only way around this, was to again remove/restore the DB, and then delete the config_db.php file, and access /glpinew again.

This time I get the initial setup page (choose language etc).. and select Upgrade. This went ok, afterwards when I accessed the /glpinew page again, I again got the "database out of date page", and told it to upgrade the DB.

This seemed to go ok.. however worryingly.. after the upgrade said it completed, the mysql server had died (after 13 months of 100% availability), and I had to restart it.

I'm now trying to remove the glpinew database, but mysql is giving grief "error 1010, can't rmdir '\.glpinew", errno 41).

So hasn't gone well..

adrianmarsh · 2007-10-18 13:27:52

Ok... 3rd time the charm..

Was able to cleanup mysql, and reimport the database again. Removed the config_db.php file.. ran through the (3) database conversions (?? doesn't sound right)..

However the database I've ended up with still doesn't look right..

In this forum I've no way to attach s/shots, but it looks like the new 0.7RC1 is showing entries from the old system that I thought were deleted.

for example.. theres a computer record called "Test record".. which I seem to remember creating way back in 2006 when I was first trying GLPI.

So maybe 0.68 never actually removed the records? and now 0.7RC1 is showing this up ?

adrianmarsh · 2007-10-18 13:42:12

I found the example record in the mysql dump:

(62,'Test record','test','','','',0,'Empty Template','2006-12-04 20:21:34',0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,'0','Blank Template',0,'Y',NULL,0,39,0)

if that means anything..

jp10558 · 2007-10-18 17:03:46

Well, with 0.68.3-2, if you delete a record, it isn't deleted, but moved into the deleted state? So if you search for a record, notice the trash can? Set to yes, and you search the deleted entries rather than the live entries.

If you are in the deleted entries view, you can select to purge an entry which I assume actually removed it from the database. In your case, I think the 'Y' entry in the MYSQL is that it is set to deleted, so normally would not be shown, whereas if it was 'N' the opposite would be true.

I guess they may have changed the display logic in 0.7 ...?

adrianmarsh · 2007-10-18 17:37:12

Ah... yes I see that trash can in 0.68 now.. how do you purge?

Actually.. that must mean that the trashcan thing in 0.7 is broken then.. as it says "no" at the moment..

adrianmarsh · 2007-10-18 17:47:31

Hmm.. in the 0.7RC1 version.. if I change Trash to Yes.. then it displays nothing.. I'm guessing either theres a bug, or a field mis-match somewhere..

jp10558 · 2007-10-18 17:54:45

You purge by going into the Yes mode for the trashcan, then checking the item, and a purge choice comes up...

adrianmarsh · 2007-10-18 18:01:38

When you switch to YES.. does it show ONLY delete items? Or both ?

jp10558 · 2007-10-18 18:52:37

YES only shows deleted items. Then you can purge the deleted items.

adrianmarsh · 2007-10-18 18:55:45

ok.. well hopefully only an issue in the display then.. I'll try and bug report it..

adrianmarsh · 2007-10-18 19:02:41

Ah.. can't.. no TRAC login..

JMD · 2007-10-18 23:12:52

You could post your bug in the "bug" section of the forum.

The trac is only for developpers, too many problems with users who post on it. Sorry.

Please could you also give us your exact configuration you use (apache, php, mysql etc...) .
