Hi, Ive been using eqdkp and dkplp for 4 months now. I have not changed anything on the server and yesterday I couldnt log into the eqdkp site all of a sudden from dkplp, the other person who updates the dkp has the same problem. :S
Im completely blank on what to do, any pointers?

Where is you EQDKP site located (you can PM me if you wish)? Since you have not changed the configuration the only reasons left would be that the plugin has vanished/failed because of some reason.

Thanks for the PM, I'm trying to find what's going on now. The server returns an error message that looks something like this
| Code: |
| <b>Catchable fatal error</b>: Object of class xmlrpcval could not be converted to string in <b>[location]/plugins/dkplp/lib/xmlrpcs.php</b> on line <b>427</b><br /> |
xmlrpcs.php is a third party library that the plugin uses to enable XML-RPC communications. The line talked about in the error message is:
| Code: |
$m=new xmlrpcmsg($_xh[$parser]['method']);
// now add parameters in
$plist='';
//$allOK = 1;
for($i=0; $i<sizeof($_xh[$parser]['params']); $i++)
{
//print "<!-- " . $_xh[$parser]['params'][$i]. "-->\n";
line 427: $plist.="$i - " . $_xh[$parser]['params'][$i]. ";\n";
//$allOK = 0;
//@eval('$m->addParam(' . $_xh[$parser]['params'][$i]. '); $allOK=1;');
@$m->addParam($_xh[$parser]['params'][$i]);
//if (!$allOK)
//{
// break;
//}
} |
Which is part of a function that parses incoming requests. I will see if I can find an error somewhere.
That it happened without you changing anything would indicate the possibility of it being a result of an upgrade of the server's php version or that a configuration was changed. If you have the possibility of investigating that, then it might help. Another thing that could also be tried is to download the latest version of the library used (where the bug might have been fixed). Replace the plugins/dkplp/lib directory with the lib directory found in the latest version of the library to upgrade it. If you feel that what I just said was gibberish then I can upload a version of the plugin where the library has been upgraded for you.

I should say that I have not tested with the 2.x version, it might not be backwards compatible. So unless you're used to PHP I can try to see how much work it is to switch to that version.

Lets see, it seems to be backwards compatible so only a few changes have to be made in addition to replacing the lib directory. I will walk you through them.
First download the files name "dkprpc.php" and "deprecated.php" from the plugins/dkplp/ directory. Then open the downloaded "dkprpc.php" with some editor (e.g. notepad). Close to the beginning of the file you will see the following lines:
| Code: |
/**
* For access to a stand-alone XML-RPC implementation.
*/
require_once('./lib/xmlrpc.php');
/**
* For access to a stand-alone XML-RPC implementation.
*/
require_once('./lib/xmlrpcs.php'); |
Replace them with the following (the .php extension has been changed to .inc):
| Code: |
/**
* For access to a stand-alone XML-RPC implementation.
*/
require_once('./lib/xmlrpc.inc');
/**
* For access to a stand-alone XML-RPC implementation.
*/
require_once('./lib/xmlrpcs.inc');
|
Now save the file and close it. Now open the "deprecated.php" file you downloaded and make the same changes, then save and close it. Finally upload the changed files overwriting the old ones.
To ensure that everything is working visit http://[your_eqdkp_site]eqdkp/plugins/dkplp/dkprpc.php If you see something similar to
| Code: |
<methodResponse>
<fault>
<value>
<struct>
<member>
<name>faultCode</name>
<value>
<int>105</int>
</value>
</member>
<member>
<name>faultString</name>
<value>
<string>XML error: Invalid document end at line 1</string>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</fault>
</methodResponse> |
Then the library switch was successful. If it displays a php error then it was not. If it was not successful then please tell me and I will upload a new distribution containing the changes. If it was successful then try to connect again and see if it works better.

Plugin version 1.3.2d has now been released.
The thing that triggers the bug seems to be upgrading to php 5.2 (which was released about 10 days ago, meaning that webhosts are beginning to upgrade to it right about now).

hmmmm, seems I still have some problems here :S. I parsed a string & got this error message: " There were some problems while uploading. Most of the day might however still have been uploaded successfully. java.lang.NullPointerException"
Ive also set /raidtracker oldformat 0 before I uploaded, incase that has something to say about it

I can't seem to be able to reproduce it. Have you replaced the plugin with the newly released version? It contains some additional tweaks. Additionally could you please post the contents of the error log?
