Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

I just installed the RC1. Before changing anything I put
Framework: &mvt:global:Store_Framework_Inuse; in the storefront message area. When displaying the store front, the value is BLANK. That variable is not working in the default framework?

The Merchant_API_Version IS working.

Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

Hi Bill,

Good catch. I added it to the admin side but not to runtime. I'll attach a new db.mvc to this thread shortly. You won't need to reinstall.

Thanks.

Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

I attached the files to this thread.

Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

I have a feeling I am doing something wrong. I removed my existing installation, dropped and recreated the DB. Then uploaded the files above and replaced the files from fw_inuse_fix.zip into my FTP site, and after the install, I try to add a store with this error:

Fatal Error
Miva Merchant has encountered a fatal error and is unable to continue. The following information may assist you in determining the cause of the error:

I can then refresh the left hand menu and get plenty of runtime errors:

I don't know where to begin on this one.

Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

I removed my existing installation, dropped and recreated the DB.

Let's start from beginning. Did you download, extract and run setup.mvc from scratch for RC1? The errors you've mentioned sound like your installation fell apart.
One possibility is you had some scripts from Beta3 and some from RC1...or new scripts with old data.
Try re-running setup and let me know if you're still stuck on this issue.

Thanks.

Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

I started with a fresh install, but once the files were uploaded, replaced the existing ones with the ones in the attached fw_inuse_fix file. I know its basic and rudimentary, but can you give me the semi step by step directions. Upload this, upload that, browse here, click finish, etc.

[Eric]

Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

Alex,

Did you re-roll the zip file so we do not have to download the fw_inuse zip file if we did not download it prior to you posting the fix.

Might be easier to just make a new zip/tar file and redownload.....

Thanks!
Eric

1. Delete or Rename your current installation directories (Scripts and Data. i.e. Scripts\mm5 & Data\Merchant5).
If you're using mySQL, log into your mySQL Administrator client and Drop all tables from your schema.

2. Download RC1 by clicking here: ftp://ftpmerchant:[email protected]/

3. Upload/Extract the package into your scripts directory.

4. Download fw_inuse_fix.zip

5. Extract it and move file admin.mvc to your Scripts\mm5\5.00\ directory. Move db.mvc to your Scripts\mm5\5.00\lib\

6. Run setup.mvc

7. Add Store.


If this still fails, please provide the following:

1. What DB you're using.
2. Engine Version.
3. See if you can tell which table Create Store failed on.

• If you're using mivaSQL...You can simply go to Data\Merchant5\s01 and sort by Date Created.
• If you're using mySQL...Go to the Query Browser and copy this query: SHOW TABLE STATUS;
  This should show you the list of tables installed. If you scroll to the right, you'll see the column "create_time".
  If you can tell what the last table that got created was - it should really help locating the point of failure.

Thanks.

Hi Eric,

I want to keep updating the package to a minimum. This way users that‘ve already updated to RC1 are not confused by whether they have the latest release candidate.

If we get enough feedback where a number of files need to be updated or reinstallation is required, we'll release RC2.


Thanks.

Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

Hello Alex,

Ok, I dropped and readded the MySQL database, and emptied out my directories, then uploaded the 5.5RC1 files, My scripts directory is /merchant2/. I then replaced the admin.mvc with the copy located in the fw_inuse_fix file. And then the same with the db.mvc. I ran through the setup, went fine, went to add my store, and get the same error.

MySQL
Engine version 5.06

I know you asked for the last table created, but as there were a few with the same time, I am just pasting the whole output.

Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

Well, I tried just about everything...MivaSQL, MySQL 5.0/4.1/MyISAM, InnoDB, VM5.06/5.04, RC1, RC1+admin/db patch and still can't reproduce this error :)
Can you try setting up on MivaSQL and see if you get the same error?
Unknown Errors are ambiguous so it's hard to say what's the point of failure, but it would really help if we can narrow it down.

Is anyone else getting this error under Miva/MySQL?


Thanks.

Re: MM5.5 RC1 - Download Files Here

Upon trying to use MivaSQL, I get this error:

On a side note, this is on a RHEL 5 server.
