Topic: ibay php debug / log location

[Bozely]

Hi, just doing some testing of SME 10 and always used the /var/log/messages log for output of php warnings and errors on SME 9 but I don't seem to be getting any outputs in 10. Manuals all seem to relate to SME 9 and older and I have been through my SME php.ini file and made a few changes to match my old server but no dice. Any ideas? Thanks,

php.ini settings at the minute are

error_reporting                        = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
display_errors                         = On
display_startup_errors                 = On
log_errors                             = On
log_errors_max_len                     = 1024
ignore_repeated_errors                 = Off
ignore_repeated_source                 = Off
report_memleaks                        = On
track_errors                           = On
html_errors                            = On
error_log                              = syslog


php seems to be executing ok when I test basic echo scripts but don't get any output from

<? phpinfo() ?>

php log is in /var/log/php/php$ver/error.log


where $ver is the php version used for that ibay. 74 as default if not changes

phpinfo is a dangerous function as it exposes a lot of information about you server to potential attackers and as a treat it is disabled by default and in the list of disabled function which can be modified. 


i can encourage you to install smeserver-webhosting if in need to tweak php for ibays.

Thank you, I see  /var/log/php/[ibay name]/error.log has what I was looking for. Yes, it's just a dev server I am playing around with, I'll be sure not to leave a production system in the same state.

by the way php.ini is not very relevant here as we do not use php as httpd module but rather use php-fpm. so info is int the php-fpm.d/www.conf of the relevant version of php.
so by default

/etc/opt/remi/php74/php-fpm.d/www.conf

Super helpful, thank you.

Trying to configure output of phpinfo to aid some of my debugging and trying to configure php-odbc (Call to undefined function odbc_connect()) but having no luck.

In /etc/opt/remi/php74/php-fpm.d/ I have removed phpinfo from www.conf and ibays.conf for the ibay I am testing from disabled functions.

Code: [Select]

php_admin_value[disable_functions] = system, show_source, symlink, exec, dl, shell_exec, passthru, phpinfo, escapeshellarg, $
followed by a web server restart

Code: [Select]

systemctl restart httpd-e-smith.service
For all my changes it doesn't seem to affect what I would expect. Am I updating the correct config files? Not using templates just yet while I mess around with it.

Sorry I had bad syntax in the .conf files and the service systemctl restart php74-php-fpm.service was failing as a result.

well yes that is the path but not relevant to know it.

followed by a web server restart

Code: [Select]

systemctl restart httpd-e-smith.service

nope , double nope
php74-php-fpm has its own service

few services including httpd-e-smith will do a expand-template on restart to prevent some failure to start. so you can not mess up the files and restart the service

well just start using the contribution i pointed.  all the available options are in the manager.  really no reason to start trying to break your server without the GUI !

[Bozely]

nope , double nope

 

I caught that just before your response. What can I say, I like to tinker! I have a snapshot of a fresh vm so I crash around and break things and sometimes learn things along the way. It's different to my usual setup so I am trying to find my feet. I installed the contrib you mention and it was helpful.

Apologies for going off topic but I need to connect to a SQL express installation. What would you recommend for this within the SME10 setup?

I've previously used FreeTDS but I am having trouble understanding how to enable php extensions Koozali style
