Errors after upgrading from version 2.xx to 3.61

Hi Glenn, 

It looks like that first error is occurring because your server has disabled some of the PHP functions.  Let's see if we can work around that one first and then see what's next.

If you're comfortable editing PHP code here's how to apply a patch: 

• Open /lib/file_functions.php
• Search for:  is_open_basedir_restrictions
• Add the code in red: 

 // if no open basedir restrictions, return value from file_get_contents
$is_open_basedir_restrictions = ini_get('open_basedir') && !@file_exists("/"); // if root doesn't exist then open_basedir in effect. In the future, we can check if target filepath matches open_basedir
if (!$is_open_basedir_restrictions) { return $r; }

// Fail here if shell commands aren't available
if (!function_exists('escapeshellarg')) { return false; }

// otherwise, try Windows shell commands
if (isWindows()) {
$filepath = str_replace("/", "\\", $filepath); // use windows slashes
$command = 'type ' .escapeshellarg($filepath);
$response = shellCommand($command); // for debugging add: 2>&1
return $response;
}

Let me know if that resolves the first issue and then we can go from there.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the info! That resolved the error when saving records and the general settings page issue.

The only other thing that I'm aware of is the "require https" issue.

Hi Glenn, 

Okay great, glad that the first issue is resolved.

For the HTTPS issue, the server may be behind a load balancer or some other configuration where the CMS can't detect HTTPS.

Can you send me your _SERVER variables? Here's how:

• Make sure you're connected via HTTPS
• Go to Admin > General > Server Info: /admin.php?menu=admin&action=general#server-info
• Beside the PHP Version, click on the phpinfo link
• Search for _SERVER and copy and paste all those values into this post
• Feel free to remove any sensitive paths or domains from the content

Once we see those we might be able to suggest a solution.

Hi Glenn, 

Hmm, interesting.  We haven't seen HTTPS = 1 before but we can add a check for it so that server is supported.

Here's how to patch that (and we'll include this in the next release): 

• Open /lib/http_functions.php
• Search for $_SERVER['HTTPS']
• Replace this:

function isHTTPS(): bool {
  if (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])       && $_SERVER['HTTPS']       == 'on') { return true; }

• With this: 

function isHTTPS(): bool {
  if (in_array($_SERVER['HTTPS'] ?? '', ['on', 1])) { return true; }

Let me know if that works for you!

Hi Dave,

That worked! I'll let you know if I discover anything else.

As always, thanks for your help!

Glenn
