I had EE 2.3.1 and MSM for a client working beautifully on a site.

We then proceeded to move to a different dedicated server with a new build:

PHP Version 5.3.3 using MySQL 5.1.61
PHP as CGI

We have MSM installed.

Everything was working. Configs set correctly. etc.. etc..
On site 1 - everything is working
On site 2 - None of our templates with complex queries work. After some troubleshooting - we got some very basic queries to work

Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this? Our error reporting is spotty and I see nothing as abnormal in the logs. I have template debugging on, etc and nothing.

Errors we keep seeing creep up:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: index
Filename: libraries/Menu.php
Line Number: 1051
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/sites/nurserylandscapeexpo.org/root/user/html/exposys/codeigniter/system/core/Exceptions.php:170)
Filename: core/Common.php
Line Number: 405

Hello ,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

PHP as CGI is known to be a bit of a bear. Can you try these tips here and see if any of them help?

Once you try these, we can go from there.

Thank you,

I’ve already tried the shebangs and that was a no-go.
Headers are set to “NO”

I’ll check the php files. <—I’ll address this

One thing we have noticed:

Site_1 - everything is working. Perfectly.

Site_2 (child site, different URL) - is not working… but after much turmoil we’ve seen partial things working…
Templates are working. Pathing and extensions seem to be working
Queries are not. Simple ones are… If that makes sense…

BEFORE this migration - Same EE system, different Server PHP and DB build… no php errors or db errors AND the entire build worked on both the root site and the child site. AND

So while we were whittling down our options, I have:
http://test.landscapetexas.org/careers <—simple query working and no embedded template
http://test.landscapetexas.org/gardening_with_kids <—- complex and broken and no error in any output - with embedded templates
http://test.landscapetexas.org/s/ads_display <—complex with embedded templates and not working

I cannot address the PHP files now, but I should have that addressed sometime in the next 24 hours. I am aiming to have this totally resolved by next week at the very very latest.

Stay tuned.

Hi MarketingMatters,
Since you started off with a move, make sure you have checked everything for “Moving ExpressionEngine to Another Server”. Make sure everything is accurate in each site’s index.php and admin.php files as well.

Queries are not. Simple ones are… If that makes sense…

Can you post some example code of what you are doing with these? That way we can make sure to have the big picture.

If you come up with anymore information along the way, please let us know!

Cheers,

I haven’t had time to post yet. We discovered the root of the bug about an hour ago. (literally an hour ago)

It did not have anything to do with EE, but with a custom extension we are building bugging out and not triggering an error in the child site. ...We found a slew of them in the parent when isolating it.

Thanks for staying on top of this. I was pulling my hair out and was nearly bald. Just looked at everything far too long.

No worries! We are here to help. I can totally empathize with looking at the same thing too long!

It sounds like you are well on your way tracking down bugs, but is there anything else we can assist you with?

Cheers,
