Fatal error after install

[krystaleyes]

After fresh installation I can get to the Admin page just fine but when I call the catalog I receive the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gzdeflate() in /nfs/cust/2/30/33/633032/web/catalog/includes/classes/cache.class.php on line 73

Any ideas?

Update your php version to something current, as it does not seem to have support for gzdeflate...

What version of php do you have? It must be pretty old.

[krystaleyes]

Operating System Redhat 7.3

Apache 1.3.27

PHP 4.4.0

Perl 5.6.1

MySQL 3.23.56

That is odd because gzdeflate is standard in php versions after 4.04

You could workaround by turning off the pagecache in the admin.

I tried turning off the global cache and the page cache and still get the same results.
Here is the line in question:
$cache_data = ( $cache['cache_gzip'] == 1 ? gzinflate(base64_decode($cache['cache_data'])) : stripslashes($cache['cache_data']) );

I get the same problem. I'm on php 5.0.4
Also, as far as I can tell, there is no page caching:
Admin -> Configuration -> Cache -> Use Cache = false
and
Admin -> Configuration -> Page Cache Settings -> Enable Page Cache = false

I'm trying to run oscmax_2_RC2 (first try with it!)

[jpf]

With PHP5 - you should install the PATCH! This covers (among other things) code to work with PHP5 that was not known when OSC-MS2 came out (which MAX is based on).

IMHO this is a required patch for security reasons!!!!

[phileuro]

Sorry - are you referring to a patch for PHP5 or a patch for oscommerce or oscmax?

[chrismole]

I've run both the RC1 to RC2 patch and the security patch and I am still gettitng the same fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gzdeflate() in /home/bigmoss/www/shop/includes/classes/cache.class.php on line 73

Any suggestions on a fix?

PHP Version: 4.4.1 (Zend: 1.3.0)
Database: MySQL 4.1.14-standard

All cacheing is disabled in the admin.

Also, phpmyadmin is showing my database Collation values as "latin1_swedish_ci ". Is that correct? Shouldn't it be "latin1_general_ci" or something similar?

[chrismole]

This is actually the line of code causing the error for me:

# check to see if it should be compressed
$value = ( $gzip === 1 ? base64_encode(gzdeflate($value, 1)) : addslashes($value) ); // addslashes if not compressed

A fix for this would really be great. I'm yet to see the frontpage of my new store...
