Hi Eirik.

Check the apache-logs to see if you have a seg-fault. Then it's most likely the reference bug i PHP 4.3.

Otherwise i would recommend to run the import as a cronjob, since it does not run with a timeout there.

Hi Kristian,

As I said, I'm running 3.8.4 and thereby PHP v. 4.4. Does this mean I can rule out the reference bug you are speaking of?

Hello Eirik

I would also check the memory usage - I once had a script that exceeded the allowed memory limit always at the 91st product. Although this should produce some error message at least...

Most likely unneccessary question: Did you check the php error log as well? Is your error reporting set to 2047?

Hi Claudia,

Thanks for the tip. I tried increasing the PHP memory limit from 16MB to 32MB, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect.

Also, the only thing outputted to the error log is this:

[error] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: relMemory in /home/user/public_html/ezpublish-3.8.4/lib/ezutils/classes/ezdebug.php on line 1447

However, this does not terminate the script. It continues to run for about 2 minutes after this message is written to the log.

Sincerely,

Hi Eirik,

I'll second the suggestion to run the import from a cronjob or the cli.

Good luck

Hi Xavier,

I'm not familiar with running a script as cli. Does it involve refactoring, or do I is there some special shell syntax?

I can't find any documentation regarding it.

Hi,

Have a look at the bin/php programs. Basically, you have a few init lines:

include_once( 'lib/ezutils/classes/ezcli.php' );
include_once( 'kernel/classes/ezscript.php' );

$cli =& eZCLI::instance();
$script =& eZScript::instance( array( 'description' => ( "eZ publish Cache Handler\n" .
                                                         "Allows for easy clearing of Cache files\n" .
                                                         "\n" .
                                                         "./bin/ezcache.php --clear-tag=content" ),
                                      'use-session' => false,
                                      'use-modules' => false,
                                      'use-extensions' => true ) );

$script->startup();
...

and the libraries provide various methods to debug, get the params from the cli and so on. Have a look at the existing programs, the opensource the doc is the code ;)

No, if you are using PHP 4.4, it is probably not caused by the reference bug.

The following error:

[error] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: relMemory

Is given after the code has crashed (from the cleanup-handler in eZ publish), so check if you have errors before this.

I like cronjobs because you do not need all of the startup-code you do in the CLI scripts.

Example of cronjob in extension:

extension/myext/settings/cronjob.ini.append

[CronjobPart-test]
Scripts[]
Scripts[]=test.php

[CronjobSettings]
ExtensionDirectories[]=myext

extension/myext/cronjobs/test.php

<?php
echo "This is my cronjob
?>

Enable the extension.

Then you can run it like this from the ezpublish root dir:

php runcronjobs.php test
