Question thread #3

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer.

No, it's not and journaljquery isn't there either.

I've done that, thanks, it's just the one file you mentioned:

/dreamhack/home/8174-ninetydegrees/dw/etc/config-local.pl

[denise]

Dumb question but this is always what gets me: did you stop and restart your 'hack after you edited the configs?

[ninetydegrees]

Yep, I have a script which does everything for me but I've just used the stop and start commands to make sure and still no beta features.

Hmm. Can you try:

perl -c /dreamhack/home/8174-ninetydegrees/dw/etc/config-local.pl

That will check the syntax of the configuration file; hopefully that gives us a cule.

[ninetydegrees]

I get:

/dreamhack/home/8174-ninetydegrees/dw/etc/config-local.pl syntax OK

I do have copies of config-local.pl in /dw/cvs/local/etc and /dw/cvs/dw-nonfree/etc but they have the code I mentioned earlier too.

Hmmm. Okay, try this:

perl /dreamhack/home/8174-ninetydegrees/dw/etc/config-local.pl

(which actually runs the file -- should be no harm done!)

[ninetydegrees]

I get:

Can't locate object method "account" via package "type" (perhaps you forgot to load "type"?) at /dreamhack/home/8174-ninetydegrees/dw/etc/config-local.pl line 99.


Line 99 is where the shop configuration starts and I don't think I've ever changed it but here's what it says:

%SHOP = (
key => [ $USD, months, account type, cost in points ],
prem6 => [ 20, 6, 'premium', 200 ],
prem12 => [ 40, 12, 'premium', 400 ],
paid1 => [ 3, 1, 'paid', 30 ],
paid2 => [ 5, 2, 'paid', 50 ],
paid6 => [ 13, 6, 'paid', 130 ],
paid12 => [ 25, 12, 'paid', 250 ],
seed => [ 200, 99, 'seed', 2000 ],
points => [],
);

Aha, okay. Comment out the "key" line; looks like that wasn't technically a syntax error, but it was causing the configuration file to not be executed fully.

We really should have a bug open for this; I vaguely recall we used to have one but we couldn't figure out how to trigger the problem (heh), and I can't seem to find it now...

Anyway, comment that out and things should work okay!

[ninetydegrees]

Ha! I figured it out thanks to the backup file as I got your comment! Thanks for all the help!

Excellent! Have fun :)
