moved server and PHx just stopped working#

Hi all,

I recently moved an Evo 1.0.5 site to a new server and PHx has stopped working. Haven't changed a thing with PHx in the manager, but any data previously generated by PHx is just not appearing at the new location.

Here's the current server setup:
Apache version 2.2.21
PHP version 5.3.8
MySQL version 5.1.56-log

The phx directory is set to 755, Template Service Events set at OnParseDocument.

Here's the previous server setup:
Apache: 2.2.3
PHP version 5.2.17
MySQL version 5.0.77

Could the server difference here be causing the problem?

Thanks in advance

Yes - probably the PHP version. Anything noteworthy inside Reports|System Events ?

Thanks for replying. There's loads of System Event entries for PHx, 14 pages to be precise. Here's an example:

Any ideas from this?
I could most likely get the host to upgrade the php version, they're great for support.
Thanks

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NS_SEPARATOR, expecting T_STRING in

Hm, something is quite wrong on the line 10 of an unknown PHx custom modifier / snippet.
It could be any of the following:
- phx:custom_mod snippet was saved while PHP Magic Quotes on (default on 5.3, needs to be off)
- PHx plugin files damaged
...etc

I could most likely get the host to upgrade the php version, they're great for support.

You mean downgrade back to PHP5.2?

Hi, sorry for the delayed response.

It's strange as I simply did a straight forward port, didn't apply any exotic chmod setting, and I certainly haven't changed any code.

Yes - probably the PHP version

Which version would you recommend?

I guess a possible solution would be to just rename this install of PHx to make it invisible, and then do a fresh PHx install and see if it works. That way we'd find out if it's a server issue - a process of elimination. Sound like a plan to you?

Yes, there may be an updated version of PHX that works with more recent PHP versions.

BTW, I think I have seen that error caused by magic_quotes_gpc being turned on.

Another option would be to paste the PHX code into a really good code editor (e.g., PhpStorm, NetBeans, or PhpEd) and see if it highlights any errors.

FYI, MODX Revolution has PHX built into the core.

Hi BobRay,

Thanks for the reply, was away from the site for the entire weekend, lucky me I'll act on what you say here, magic quotes/error highlighting etc.

Regarding PHx in Revo, I have seen that before, probably posted by you - so can I assume that if i run a PHx call in Revo, without adding any extra/plugin, that it would work just the same as it would in Evo?

(you may have mentioned this in your book, which I'm about to buy)
