    • Edit Pages Are Blank After Upgrade

    Posted by Aaron Fleishman posts: 11 United States

    I'm currently on version 12.0 (yes, I know I need to upgrade to 12.2, I'm getting there 😊.

    I recently upgraded my Ubuntu server from 13.x to 14.04. After the upgrade, whenever I try to create a new page, when the edit screen displays, the "editable" are of the page is blank and I cannot type in that space.

    Thinking that it might have been my laptop I was working off of, I have tried from a different machine and even browser just to be sure.

    Also, cause I thought maybe the Ubuntu upgrade might have messed with some permissions on the tiki directory, I went ahead and repermissioned the tiki directory with:

    sudo find /var/www/tiki -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

    sudo find /var/www/tiki -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

    Still no luck.

    Anyone have any insight as to what might have happened?

    Thanks!

    Hi Aaron,

    I have similar problems on individual instances, but no problem with same versions of Tiki on same version of Linux (ex local: Ubuntu 14.04).

    I have not yet a picture what's going on and most instances are working well. Cache maybe? No idea. Anyway, I am using TIki 12, 13, pre-14 all from SVN (like kind of rolling release).

    As said: no idea yet, but looking into that.

    I hope to not forget to mention to you once I found out the reason (and the solution) ... 😊 ...

    Regards,
    Torsten

    Torsten,

    Thanks for the reply. It's good to know that it is not just me. 😉

    I decided to rerun my Tiki Check. Everything looks good except for my PHP Security properties. I'm seeing lots of "Risky" items now, as well as "Unknown" for the upload_tmp_dir.

    I think I'm going to try and dig into the TMP directory and see maybe that's my problem.

    I also ran a security check:

    Filename State
    ./temp/public/codemirror_modes.js This is not a Tiki file. Check if this file was uploaded and if it is dangerous.
    ./temp/public/codemirror_modes.css This is not a Tiki file. Check if this file was uploaded and if it is dangerous.
    ./db/tiki-secdb_12.0_mysql.sql This is a modified File. Cannot check version. Check if it is dangerous.
    ./db/local.php This is not a Tiki file. Check if this file was uploaded and if it is dangerous.

    Let me know if you find anything Torsten.

    Thanks!!!

    Still troubleshooting. Cleaned out the system cache through the UI and then manually just to be sure. After a restart of Apache, still no luck. 😢

    Open to suggestions... should I try upgrading? (I'm on 12.0) However, didn't seem to help Torsten since he was on different versions of Tiki, but 14 of Ubuntu. I'm at a loss now...

    Just realized that ALL new pages are acting the same as well. Crap.

    I'm stumped.

    Same here. Just upgraded to 13.1 from 12.2 and all new pages or edit existing pages take me to a big blank window, into which I can see / write nothing.

    ...while I can edit articles. I have not found any solution so far.

    So my problem is fixed! Yay!

     

    I upgraded to 12.3 and that fixed my edit issues.

     

    I did have one major issue while trying to upgrade to 12.3, after I had copied the files over to my server, during the upgrade process the installer hung and I wasn't able to complete the install. After that, the Tiki site was completely down and not responding. I had to edit my apache2.conf file and change AllowOverride All before I could get back into the site. Restarted the install process and everything went perfect after that.
