    Default 2.0.8b Released

    Not Compatible with PHP 5.2
    We are currently working on bug fixes for people using PHP 5.2. If your host uses php 5.2 DO NOT use this release, as it will break several things.

    Version 2.0.8b is now available.

    If you are already in the new shopping cart/license system, you should already be able to download the new version in the Client Area. You will be getting a notification e-mail shortly about the new release, which will be a shortened version of this announcement.

    Read below for the release details.

    Requirement change in 2.0.8b:
    Basically, we added Zend back, so that you can have either IonCube OR Zend Optimizer. We made both versions part of the main package, so either way you use the same package.

    --Requirements

    MINIMUM HOST REQUIREMENTS (Requirements have changed as of 2.0.8b)
    • PHP version 4.3+
    • MySQL version 3.2+
    • ONE of the following options:
      1. IonCube supported (either loaded at runtime, or installed in php.ini)
      -- OR --
      2. Zend Optimizer installed and enabled.

    If you are in the process of choosing a new hosting company, note that you will usually have to ask the hosting company if they support one of the last requirements, as they are not typically listed on a host's "feature list". If you prefer, contact Geodesic Support and we will be happy contact the host for you, to verify if they meet the minimum requirements.

    RECOMMENDED HOST REQUIREMENTS
    The software will run fine with the minimum requirements listed in the section above, but if you want to get the most out of your new Geodesic software, we recommend these hosting requirements:
    • GD Library - Needed for "security image" feature, and image upload resizing/manipulation
    • PHP version 5.1+ (Software is enhanced for PHP 5.1 and above)
    • MySQL version 4.* or 5.* (higher versions of MySQL typically run faster and more dependably)


    To get 2.0.8b:
    Currently have version 2.0.2b (BETA) or older:
    Request the latest version, and include this information:
    • First name
    • Last name
    • Address
    • City
    • State (or providence if outside the US)
    • Country
    • Zip/Postal Code
    • Phone #
    • Product(s) purchased (either Classifieds Ent, Auctions Ent, or ClassAuctions Ent) Be sure to mention if you own multiple licenses.
    • Add-On modules purchased.

    Once we verify your previous purchase and add you to the new system, we will send you an e-mail detailing how to log in to the new system and download the new version.

    Already have 2.0.6b (BETA) or above:
    You will receive an automated e-mail, detailing how to access the new version. If you do not receive the e-mail in the next day, start a support ticket for assistance.

    For more details on changes to the backend, see the Developer Release Notes. (They have not changed since 2.0.2b)

    To Upgrade (different than version 1.0.5b):
    Always back up your database and any customized files before upgrading! If you plan to install on a live site, we recommend first doing an install in a "testing" area, then if all goes well migrate it to the live site.
    1. Back up any custom files. If you aren't sure which files you might have customized, back up all files. Make especially sure to back up your config.php to avoid accidental over-writing.
    2. Back up your database using PHPMyAdmin or similar.
    3. Using the instructions we e-mailed you, navigate to the download section of the new shopping cart.
    4. Download the file labeled “UPGRADE – WIZARD – CA – Version 2.0.8b (BETA)” and remember where the file is saved to.
    5. Run the upgrade wizard. If you need help during any part of the wizard, there is a help button at the bottom of the wizard that you can use. If it pops up any error messages, write the error message down and continue. (Most specifically, any IonCube error messages)
    6. When the wizard is complete, if it does not automatically take you to the upgrade script for your site: Navigate to your site's upgrade folder, and run the upgrade script. Note that we have added a pre-check, to make sure your config.php has all the necessary variables. If you have an older config.php there will be a tool to use to help you update your config file.
    7. Once you have finished the upgrade script, log in to your site's admin side. If you are upgrading from a version 2.0.2b or older, you will need to enter the new license key. The license key is found in the client area of the shopping cart, on the same page as the main downloads. It should start with GeoClassifieds, GeoAuctions, or GeoClassAuctions depending on your product type.
    8. Once you have entered the new license key for the first time, it will validate the license and download the “license data” to store in the database. After the license data has been stored in the database, it will never contact the license server again (as long as the license validates properly).


    Fresh Install:
    1. Using the instructions we e-mailed you, navigate to the download section of the new shopping cart.
    2. Download the file labeled “FULL INSTALL - WIZARD - CA - Version 2.0.8b (BETA)” and remember where the file is saved to.
    3. Run the fresh install wizard. If you need help during any part of the wizard, there is a help button at the bottom of the wizard that you can use. If it pops up any error messages, write the error message down and continue. (Most specifically, any IonCube error messages) If you have Zend Optimizer installed, you might get an ionCube error.
    4. When the wizard is complete, you can use the configuration tool to modify config.php and upload the modified file automatically. Be sure to click “apply” after modifying the file, to have it upload the changed file.
    5. The wizard will automatically start the setup script for your site. Follow each step of the setup, reading and following all instructions.
    6. After you have finished the setup script, log in to your site's admin side. You will need to enter the new license key. The license key is found in the client area of the shopping cart, on the same page as the main downloads. It should start with GeoClassifieds, GeoAuctions, or GeoClassAuctions depending on your product type.
    7. Once you have entered the new license key for the first time, it will validate the license and download the “license data” to store in the database. After the license data has been stored in the database, it will never contact the license server again (as long as the license data validates properly).

    Install/Upgrade using zip file:
    1. Download the zip for the upgrade or fresh installation from the addon section of the new shopping cart.
    2. Upload files like normal. Note that binary mode is necessary


    Geo Addons:
    1. Download the zip file(s) for the addon module from the order details page, in the new shopping cart.
    2. Unzip the downloaded file.
    3. Upload files like normal. Note that the files will be unziped to a folder with the same name as the addon. The files are not meant to be kept in that folder when uploaded.

      Note that if you have previously installed the Geo Zip search module, you do not need to install it again.


    Multiple Location Instructions:
    • If you are installing to multiple locations (even if they are on the same domain), and intend all of the locations to be used publicly, you will need to purchase a separate license for each location. Each location will have it's own license key, which is accessible in the client area of our new shopping cart system. Note that this has always been part of the license agreement.
    • If you want to install to a test location, or want to migrate from a test location to the main site: Contact us to have the 2nd location added to your license.

    Troubleshooting:

    Symptom: You get an error saying IonCube loaders are needed for a file to load.
    Solution: If the script improperly detects that ionCube can be used, it will not try to use Zend instead. If you do have Zend Optimizer installed, delete the ioncube folder and it should fix the problem.

    Symptom: When you log into the admin, you get a white screen or an error message.
    Solution: There is a bug affecting some configurations, to fix change these files: admin/admin_site_class.php. In the file, where it says
    Code:
    ob_end_flush();
    change it to
    Code:
    //ob_end_flush();
    We will be updating the download for 2.0.8b momentarily.

    Default Re: 2.0.8b Released

    Ran upgrade from 2.07 to 2.08 class auctions....

    1) Took site down
    2) Tried to access A drive (no clue why)

    Ran upgrade a 2nd time.

    1) Fonrt end of site is back up
    2) upgrade complete then admin box came up to apply updates.
    3) Receive error.
    Fatal error: Class 'Admin_site' not found in /hsphere/local/home/wwwuser/topequine.com/admin/admin_beta_settings.php on line 19

    Now I am going to download the files and manually ftp them up.

    Just letting you know....

    Ftped the file admin site with binary.... Refreshed screen it applied updates to database..... Went to access admin blank screen

    Followed these sintructions........
    OR a blank white screen, no matter what page you go to.

    Solution: This is caused when an encoded file is uploaded in ASCII mode. Most FTP clients just look at the file extension, or even the first few lines of the file, and incorrectly detect the type of file to be ASCII, when it should be BINARY. To fix, re-upload these files in BINARY mode: products.php, classes/DataAccess.class.php, and classes/php5_classes/DataAccess.class.php

    It did nothing still blank screen

    I'm going to do some tests on your topequine.com site, I'll let you know the results. Do you have error logs for topequine.com anywhere? Since it is a blank page, that would point to a critical PHP error that wasn't displayed because errors are suppressed...

    I'll have to finish troubleshooting this tomorrow... so far I've tracked it to die somewhere in load_page in admin_page_loader.php - if you want to give tracking it down a try... Otherwise I'll pick up debugging first thing tomorrow.

    The front end of the site is working so no big deal. I will wait for you. Have a good day.

    Ok, finally tracked down the issue. In the code, on admin/admin_site_class.php, find where it says:
    Code:
    ob_end_flush;
    And change it to
    Code:
    //ob_end_flush();
    I think this only affects people using PHP 5.2 or higher. Thats the reason we didn't catch it in internal testing, we test on 5.1 and 4.4, but I guess that should change now so it will work on Lance's super cutting edge servers :P

    Most people do not need to do anything, but if you are experiencing a white screen once you log into the admin, make the changes as described above. I'll be updating the main post's troubleshooting here in a little bit.

    Looks like that isn't the only thing that is broken for servers with PHP version 5.2. We will be releasing a new release later today which includes fixes for hosts with PHP 5.2
