Installation problem

[[email protected]]

I have installed WCP onto a Joomla 1.5.0 website with the intention of trying an upgrade to 1.5.22.

When I create a child I get errors like this:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/vhosts/balcombevillage.co.uk/httpdocs/joomlatest/administrator/components/com_wcp/views/child/view.html.php on line 49

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/vhosts/balcombevillage.co.uk/httpdocs/joomlatest/administrator/components/com_wcp/views/child/view.html.php on line 130

Looking at posts on Joomla, I see that this is either a server problem (mine is with my ISP) or due to faulty Joomla installation files.

The solution to the latter is to reinstall/upgrade Joomla. But that is the reason for wanting to use a child website in the first place!

I have made a Joomlapack backup of the website but don't want to rely just on this in case an upgrade to 1.5.22 screws the website.

Any ideas?

PS I have just installed WCP onto another website running Joomla 1.5.15 and have the same problem. This is also hosted on the same ISP server, an Apache.

PPS I created a new Joomla 1.5.20 site on the same ISP. Updgaded to 1.5.22 and then installed WCP. It works fine on this new installation.

Can you try to use the SVN version instead?

If it is hard for you then try to turn off error logging from Joomla configuration.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The problem is that, when I view the child in WCP, the entries also have these errors, e.g. the entry for Child Database Settings, Database is:

<br /> <b>Notice</b>: Trying to get property of non-object in <b>/var/www/vhosts/balcombevillage.co.uk/httpdocs/joomlatest/administrator/components/com_wcp/views/child/tmpl/default.php</b> on line <b>233</b><br />

Try to open joomlatest/configuration.php file and make sure that all the configuration settings are correct.

I'm no expert but it seems OK. Here it is, just in case you can spot anything that is obviously wring.

The Joomla installation is inside a subdirectory of the root, i.e. ...httpdocs/joomlatest/

Try to put error_reporting = '0';

Thanks, I've changed global configuration to "simple" reporting. At least I can see if there is an error then.

Otherwise, working great.

Thanks again for a very useful mod.

Good, that issue was already solved in the SVN repo.

Differences Button

Hi Edward,

Thank you for creating this extension, i'm sure it will be a benefit to all who use it.

I have installed WCP, and watched your webinar. When i go to the child site, i don't see the differences button though.

Here is my configuration:

Root = master site
Dev folder inside root = child (dev) site

Here is my problem:

I cannot be logged into the live and dev sites at the same time because when i navigate to another admin area on the back end, i get kicked out of the site I'm working on.

Neither the master (live), or child (dev) sites show the differences button.

Thank you for your help.

John

Check your master configuration.php and child configuration.php files. Make appropriate changes in the child configuration.php file to not use the same DB which can be the same for your case.

[WilliseTech]

I have checked the config.php files for both sites:

Here is the db info from the child db (dev site)
var $host = 'jwi1036109563130.db.7203401.hostedresource.com';
var $user = 'jwi1036109563130';
var $db = 'jwi1036109563130';

Here is the db info from the master db (live site)
var $host = 'jwi1036107552355.db.7203401.hostedresource.com';
var $user = 'jwi1036107552355';
var $db = 'jwi1036107552355';

In WCP Manager, the child database settings are the same on both sites, and the master database settings are the same on both sites.

Thank you for your help
