GoRevo can't get working in Revolution side - No such file or directory errors

That's very weird. You should get a file called gorevo-1.2.0-pl.transport.zip in the download. Is it possibly that your browser is unzipping it automatically?

Hi BobRay, thanks for the reply - I've now re-installed using the correct transport ( I used Firefox instead and specified download format this time )
Re-created the evo.zip (without the huge assets folder which I've moved in manually) which seemed to work OK and show the final completed screen.

Now after putting the evo.zip in place in the revolution site (installed in the root and working with just the home page), when I run the terminal command I'm getting the following:

php /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/gorevo/evo.zip

Parse error: parse error in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/gorevo/evo.zip on line 1272

Any ideas?

I'm hoping I don't need to start rebuilding the whole site from scratch in revolution, obviously I'd rather not do that if GoRevo can save me a good bit of time rewriting a lot of it. This is the first time I've actually tried to use it although I bought it some time ago in readiness for this project.

Many thanks

Hi BobRay, I just thought I'd give it a try using the browser option (as I couldn't seem to get terminal option working).

It spat out a long list of errors in the browser window referring to users --- [GoRevo] Could not save user ........ --- and duplicate entries etc. but appeared to finish, or at least stop loading.

At this point I appear to have all the resources added but no elements at all, (no templates, snippets, chunks)

Could that simply be down to it being such a big site and the browser method not being suitable?

thanks

It's possible. Did the Evo export or the Revo import take more than 30 seconds?
That would suggest that it timed out.

You may also be running out of memory, though, if the site is very big.

Before you abandon the browser, see if you can increase the max_execution time. You can put this in your php.ini file:

max_execution_time = 120

You may also be able to increase the PHP memory limit.

Hi BobRay,

I already had my php.ini set to the following see below bottom - the evolution gorevo seemed to complete although took several minutes - the Revolution side didn't complete properly (i.e. I didn't see a completed screen if that's what was supposed to happen, it simply stopped loading/progress) would you suggest re-doing it all on even higher max_execution_time?

edit - I just looked at the php log and even though I've edited php.ini in Mamp it still shows:
[21-Jan-2018 12:32:27 Europe/Berlin] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/core/xpdo/om/xpdoobject.class.php on line 1030

I've just re-imported the fresh Revolution and installed the package again but noticed even though it says successfully installed it gives the following errors:

The DB errors suggest that you didn't empty the DB tables before the import. I don't think those duplicate entry errors would cause a problem because the new values should be the same as the old ones. However, it will cause trouble if there are extra MODX elements (resources, users, etc.) in there. You need to empty/truncate (but not remove) all the tables when doing a "clean" install of MODX (which is what GoRevo requires).

See this on the MAMP memory limit: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25996782/cant-increase-mamp-php-memory-limit

If you go to Reports->System Info and click on the phpinfo() link, you can see the real max_execution_time value.

You can also search that page for php.info and find the location of the real php.ini file ("Loaded Configuration File"). Try editing the values there.

BTW, if you can run the GoRevo import from the command line (path/to/php.exe path/to/gorevo/index.php) or create a cron job to run it, that will bypass the time limit completely (though not the memory limit). [ed. note: BobRay last edited this post 8 years, 8 months ago.]

Hi BobRay,
thanks again for your comments - just a quick one as well as trying all the other things - I'm not over-confident in Terminal but do use it for large DB actions etc. when I need to - when you say "path/to/php.exe" I've just been using:
"php /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/gorevo/index.php"

is there another way I should be doing it - i.e. the path to php execute?

many thanks

I don't use MAMP (I use XAMPP, which MODX users seem to have fewer problems with), but that looks right to me, assuming that your MODX install is not in a subdirectory.

What I actually use for stuff like that is PhpStorm, where I can load that index.php file into the editor and tell PhpStorm to run it (after setting up the server to use and the path to php.exe). It's the equivalent of running it from the command line, but with debugging capability and great navigation through related code files. For example, if I see a $modx->getObject() call in my code, I can put the cursor on getObject() and press Ctrl-B. In a flash, PhpStorm will load the MODX file containing with that function and navigate to the function. I can set a breakpoint in that function and then run in debug mode to step through the function and see the variable values as it executes the code line by line.

I have the entire local MODX install as a project in PhpStorm, which is really handy for debugging and searching and viewing the MODX source code. PhpStorm will use more memory, but I have 16 Gigabytes of memory on my machine.
