PHP5 - PHP5 and upgrade to 1.5.20

[arkamark]

Hi,

I apologise in advance.

Heres the story, we have two coppermin galleries that are running old versions. 1.4. something.
They have not been upgraded due to laziness (and the fact that account registering was disabled so it was thought the security risks were low.)

Today our server was upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5

Now on the top of the front page this message appears;

Notice: Undefined offset: 8192 in /home/lobey/public_html/include/debugger.inc.php on line 112

I have already searched that on the forum and have seen that upgrading will most probably fix this.
So I have started learning how to upgrade.

My first issue is this. I cant log in to the admin anymore.
The log in box displays this message;
Warning your browser does not accept script's cookies

and the 'captcha' letters dont appear.. there is a broken image symbol where the captcha letters should be.

THe reason its a problem for me that I cant log in, is that on the upgrading instructions it says this;
Plugins made for cpg1.4.x usually can no longer be run on cpg1.5.x, so you'll need to turn them off while you're still running cpg1.4.x (before you start upgrading).

I can log in to check if I have plugs ins.. or to turn them off. I imagine the captcha script was a plug in itself.. I dont think there are any others, but I'm not sure.

Is there a way of checking for plug-ins without logging in to admin? via ftp? How should I progress ? Is the captcha script a plug-in? What happens if I upgrade without turning off plug-ins..

Thanks.

sorry typo;

In the coppermine folder online in the plugins folder are two folders
captcha
and
sample

Sorry I cant find an 'edit' button, so I have to keep adding more info as new posts.

What will happen if I follow the upgrade instructions without disabling captcha in the admin ? (because I cant log in).

I cant find a version number for the captcha script, the read me txt file  has the following and is dated 2007.

CAPTCHA Plugin
  Based on Mod by Abbas ali(http://coppermine-gallery.net/forum/index.php?topic=29564.0)

Use a tool like phpMyAdmin to remove the plugin from installed plugins
listed in the databases for each gallery installation.

The plugin files and folders will eventually need to be removed.

Since you are working with an unknown starting point (ex. are any core files modified?), backups
are recommended.

Is the captcha script a plug-in?

It was a plugin in cpg1.4.x, but it's a (configurable) core feature in cpg1.5.x. Please do as Joe suggested and remove any installed plugins directly in your database.

[arkamark]

Thanks for the replies.

I have backed up the database and the 'albums' folder. No core files are modified.

I have access to phpMyAdmin.
Can you please tell me how to remove the captcha plugin from the database using phpMyAdmin?

[Αndré]

Open the plugins table and remove the line that contains the captcha plugin.

[arkamark]

thanks.. I am very much a newbie. Sorry for requesting such precise information.

I click on the table cpg_plugins. I f I click 'browse' tab and I see

Full Texts    plugin_id    name    path    priority
   Edit    Delete    1    CAPTCHA    captcha    0

Do I tick the box and press 'delete' on the browse tab.

There is another table underneath call cpg_plugin_captcha. That has 3 lines;

Edit    Delete    2012-07-16 21:29:25    86.7.226.237    d24e5c1326f13c6b09100134c78df646

Do I do anything with that?

[Αndré]

That table has been created by the cpg1.4.x plugin. Just delete that whole table, cpg1.5.x doesn't use or need it.

[arkamark]

Hi Andree,

thanks for your help.

I deleted the 'captcha' line
I deleted the cpg_plugin_captcha table.

I uploaded the new 1.5.x files. I didnt overwrite anycontent.php or the albums folders.

I edited
style.css
template.html
as described.

I ran update.php

That all seemed to go ok.. the screen returned lots of Green OKs

However when I go to the gallery hompage I get this message;

Template error

From searching on this forum, I found that if I add   'theme=curve'    the gallery appears.

http://www.ad-treepirate.co.uk/coppermine/index.php?theme=curve

[Αndré]

It means that your theme isn't compatible with cpg1.5.x. Please search our boards, there are already some threads dealing with that issue. Unfortunately there's no "do this and that" tutorial which fits every theme, so you'll have to understand the error messages and fix them accordingly

Alternatively just use a theme that is compatible with cpg1.5.x.

[arkamark]

Hi,

If I go to config, and choose a standard theme from the dropdown.. like eyeball.. then click 'submit new configuration'
The page returns the message;
'update not needed' and the theme doesnt change.

[arkamark]

sorry that was some cookie issue, that is resolved.. theme IS changing

[arkamark]

Hi Something else though is odd..

if I click config:bridge manager

I receive this message;

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cpgGetMicroTime() (previously declared in /home/zorro65/public_html/coppermine/include/init.inc.php:27) in /home/zorro65/public_html/coppermine/include/init.inc.php on line 29

[Αndré]

Please check your bridge folder for any leftover files from cpg1.4.x. By the way: all issues has been asked and answered several times in our boards. So please search the board before asking questions. Additionally, please respect our board rules by e.g. asking just one question per issue and using a meaningful subject (yours isn't meaningful). Thanks.

[arkamark]

thank you for your help and sorry for asking questions already answered,
