logging

Post by didds »

mantisbt 2.5.0
apache 2.4.6
centos 7

How do I log what is going on in 2.5.0 ? I only want to see what is happening to dry and debug my other issue regarding 32MB up-loads!

From this page
https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/master/en ... gging.html

in config_inc.php I set

$g_log_level = 'LOG_DATABASE';
$g_log_destination = 'file:/tmp/mantisbt.log'


I also

touch /tmp/mantisbt.log
chmod 777 /tmp/mantisbt.log


then restart httpd. Nothing showing adversely in the apache logs

But when I try and load the site... it doesn't error... but I just get a black page.

so obviously that isn't "correct".

*sigh*

any ideas? please?

cheers

I dunno if we're facing the same issues, but I've written the following notes for myself when setting up a site:
Change SELinux security context on folder or file for use with Apache:
chcon -R -v -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t the_name

Files need to be accessible to Apache:
chgrp apache index.htm
chgrp -R apache foldername/


Owner should not be a user:
chown -R root foldername
Any help?

cheers both - no change

# ls -l /tmp/mantisbt.log
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 5 15:17 /tmp/mantisbt.log

$g_log_destination = 'file:/tmp/mantisbt.log';
$g_log_level = LOG_DATABASE;


and /tmp/mantisbt.log is just empty

site still fails to load - but does not error



BUT Aha!

I set the apache log_level to debnug and restarted apache. Nothing obvious showing in the logs

but then I reloaded the page ... and I get this

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /var/www/html/core/database_api.php on line 1290

I haven't edited that file at all. That line FTR is
$t_utf8_offset = utf8_strlen( substr( $p_query, 0, $t_match_param[1] ), mb_internal_encoding() );

yup - sorted that just before you posted - but thanks.

Ive now got this mbstring error,

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /var/www/html/core/database_api.php on line 1290


but I can't install php-mbstring as ...

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@issvlmant04 logs]#


I'm bored of this now. I only want logging to work so i can better investigate my far more important issue -

mbstring extension is needed for database logging, see https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=15575

Independend of that,

- it's recommend to use mbstring, because of better performance
- it's documented as a mandatory extension and mbstring might be enforced in future versions, see https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=23214

BTW, PHP 5.4 version is not supported with latest Mantis version, you will have to use at least PHP 5.5 see https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=23378
