Hello,

So, I’ve read just about every post on here having to do with EE installs on Windows Servers. I’m experienced with EE on Linux. I have direct access to the server and the permissions are all set properly (I’ve been able to upload photos and completed the install properly, etc).

I have one permanent php error that shows on every CP page.

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined offset: 1
Filename: accessories/acc.expressionengine_info.php
Line Number: 113

Plus a laundry list of php errors appearing on the CP homepage. (I’ll put the first 4 of out 71. No lie.)

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined offset: 2
Filename: cp/homepage.php
Line Number: 279

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined offset: 1
Filename: cp/homepage.php
Line Number: 290

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined offset: 2
Filename: cp/homepage.php
Line Number: 279

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined offset: 1
Filename: cp/homepage.php
Line Number: 290

The last error shows on the CP homepage, as well.

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\Web Sites\...\...\system\codeigniter\system\core\Exceptions.php:170)
Filename: core/Common.php
Line Number: 405

I wish I could go to a Linux server, but the client owns this Windows server and wants to build on it. *Sigh*

I am building on EE 2.1.3. However, the same errors showed when I tested with EE 2.2.2, so that’s not the issue.

Help is much appreciated!

sjc80,

Can you give our Server Wizard a go and make sure the Windows server meets all these requirements please

Hi John,
I have done that. It meets all the requirements. The only thing it doesn’t meet is the URL Segment Support.

I removed the EE accessory and that took away the first error. I redirected log in page to Structure, so that took away the next two, but I’d still like to be error-less when the client stumbles upon the CP homepage at some point.

Hmmm… if you take Structure out of the equation entirely, does that make a difference?

Hi Sue,
I added Structure after the errors so I could redirect the log in to it. So, unfortunately no. The issue pre-existed Structure. Do I still get coverage? 😊

Well, I don’t have a Windows install to test against with the Agile theme to see if I see the same errors you do.

Who are you hosting with?

The company who I’m building the site for has their own Windows 2003 RD server. It’s been a pain (10 hours of troubleshooting for permissions). This is now my only problem.

You think it’s a theme issue?

No real idea.. can you create a new 2.2.2 install on that box with the Agile Records and see if that has problems?

Just installed EE 2.2.2 with Agile Records and the exact same errors appear on the CP Home.

Hi sjc80,

Be on the lookout for an email from me. Since I don’t have a Windows server to test against, I’d like to get a first-hand look at the issues you’re experiencing.

Hi sjc80,

Is there any change your host is using a proxy server to route traffic from the web server to another website? The reason EE is having offset issues is because it can’t parse the response it gets when trying to check with expressionengine.com to find out the latest version of EE. It gets this response:

Redirect (authentication_redirect_to_virtual_host)

You are being redirected to the authentication virtual host.

For assistance, contact your network support team.

In searching this error message on Google, the results I got all seemed to point to the use of a proxy server causing a blockage between the two sites.

Could you check with your host to see if this is the case?

Hi Kevin,
That makes a lot of sense. I have direct access to the virtual server, because it’s a small business that owns it. They don’t have a clue how to operate it. I’d probably have to be the one to figure it out, which probably won’t happen soon.

Is there a way to turn off version checking? Or some other fix from within EE?

Hi Kevin,

If the client is assigned as an editor or to some other member group, the version checking won’t process/appear for them, so the errors don’t show to non-SuperAdmins. I’m cool with that. The client won’t be a SuperAdmin and they won’t know the difference!

The issue is still there, but that’s okay since I know the work around. Consider this closed unless you want to resolve it from an EE perspective.

Thanks.

Thanks for the update. The error response on EE’s side could fail more gracefully, so I’ll make sure the devs are aware of that. Other than that, there’s not much we can do on the EE side. I’ll consider this resolved as well. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

If you do end up coming up with something, feel free to open up a new related thread to share it with us and the community!
