When we push a new version to our server, the old extensions deployed take some time (<7hours in the docs, but I have seen more) to update themselves. The problem is that these OLD extensions may talk to the NEW services/api deployed on the server, thus raising conflicts. And those are very hard to hunt down...
Any advice?
Thanks.
You can't force autoupdate but you can pass api version along with the server response and have extension notify users to upgrade if it is outdated (response version doesn't match hardcoded into extension version).
UPDATE
Ok I just reread the question and looks like author is talking about the extension gallery. In this case you can't just point a user to the gallery as it doesn't allow you to reinstall an extension without uninstalling first anymore (it used to a while ago). In this case, to force reinstall you would have to either ask users to hit "Refresh now" button on the their chrome://extensions/ page, or download and install your extension's crx directly, which has the following (scary) format:

There was an error in the working CMS and I can not even enter management panel. I did not update PHP on the server, nothing changed in the configuration, and yet I can't enter the administration panel or display the WWW page.
When I try to get on administration panel or on website there is a message like this:
PHP Runtime Notice: Declaration of tx_ttnews_catmenu::wrapTitle() should be compatible with t3lib_treeView::wrapTitle($title, $row, $bank = 0) in /home2/izbampro/public_html/typo3/typo3conf/ext/tt_news/class.tx_ttnews_catmenu.php line 56
Is this a bug related to a too old version of PHP, or could someone break into the server and change the configuration?I have no idea what could have happened, everything worked well several days ago. Please help me with this error.
what do you mean with the administration panel?
in TYPO3 you have the BackEnd where you can do the normal administration and editorial tasks.
it is called normally with domain.tld/typo3/
the other area for administrative tasks is the Install Tool
which is called with domain.tld/typo3/install/
While the Backendneeds a running TYPO3 instance the InstallTool should be callable even if there is no configuration (e.g. database).
regarding your TYPO3 version:
we can guess a little bit with your data:
PHP 5.6.26 will let run TYPO3 only until version 7.6
the function reference t3lib_treeView::wrapTitle will restrict the version in the same way as the classname was available in core up to 4.7. for later version there existed an compatibility extension, first in core, later from TER.
if you have a look onto your server we might have further restrictions.
I will not exclude the usage of older versions up to 4.7:
these versions can be identified by files typo3conf/localconf.php, while since 6.0 the files are named typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php.
In the same way there is a break in the storing which extensions are active in your installation:
up to 4.7 it was one line in typo3conf/localconf.php, since 6.0 it is an own file typo3conf/PackageStates.php.
You should be able to call the install tool, which will show the version (a screenshot from the appearance after the Install Tool login might help. But first we need to make you accessing the Install Tool.
Are you able to login to the install tool?
the TYPO3 version will decide about the next steps
I took over a website for my client and I tried adding an extension to Typo3. When I did, the whole website crashed and displays a HTTP ERROR 500. I found this thread with a similar problem, followed the instructions and erased the key that was supposed to be removed typo3 site offline after extension upload but that didn't work.
I gained access to the cPanel since I couldn't access the backend login page. So now i'm able to access all of the root files and hopefully fix the problem. Does anyone know anything to fix it?
You should read the error log (for the PHP service or Apache, depending on how your hosting works). There you can see the actual error message which then can give you an indication what's actually wrong.
The most common reasons are:
Extension version is not compatible with the version of TYPO3 you used (and you ignored the warning when installing).
Extension is written in a way that it assumes you update the database schema, which may not happen automatically when you install the extension.
Extension calls on classes that must be loaded and does not provide class loading for the installation you use (e.g. some extensions only offer composer support and won't work if you install without composer).
Extension uses PHP modules that are not installed or is incompatible with the version of PHP that is used.
You should be able to recover this by using the TYPO3 install tool to manually update the database schema and perform checks that the extension works (TYPO3 8.7+ only). If that does not help we will need additional information:
Which TYPO3 version do you use?
Was it installed with composer?
What is the exact error message you get in PHP error logs?
If the extension you installed is public, a link to it would help determine why you get the error.
Hope this helps!
This is a project I've been working on off and on for months and I feel like I'm pretty close, but I just can't seem to get past the final hurdle.
The goal is to develop an organization extension library that contains both internal and 3rd party code that we frequently rely on.
History
As a test project, I started with Apache Poi because that is already in wide use in our environment. I have a plug-in and feature built just from the Poi .jars that allows me to build our current Poi applications as long as I add the plug-in (from my workspace) to my build path. The apps work on the servers because we have already distributed the Poi .jars by manually copying them.
The next step is taking that plug-in and getting it into an updatesite so that all of the servers and developers can synchronize on one version. I found and followed these two excellent blog articles (that I wish existed when I started this project):
http://www.dalsgaard-data.eu/blog/wrap-an-existing-jar-file-into-a-plug-in/
http://www.dalsgaard-data.eu/blog/deploy-an-eclipse-update-site-to-ibm-domino-and-ibm-domino-designer/
With the caveat that the articles are written for Domino 9 and we are running 8.5.3 here, but that only matters in the last (installation) step.
Current
This brings us to the problem. All of the above seems to have worked great up to a point. I can install my feature to my designer client from the eclipse update site and it works great. However, the install is failing when I import that into our updatesite.nsf database. This means that while the developers can all install from the updatesite if I put it on a network drive, that doesn't deploy updates to our servers.
The problem is that when I try to install from the .nsf update site, the Eclipse Updater just hangs. I've let it go for well over an hour and eventually Notes becomes completely unresponsive.
So the question is, is there anything I might have done wrong, either in the development of the plug-in or server configuration that might be causing this issue?
Additional Info
I'm looking at the osgi console and that is largely unhelpful. I am getting the following errors as I'm trying to install: SEVERE Could not access digest on the site: no protocol: 0/5B004DDD5E38F3FF85257CAF004C72C7/$file/digest.zip ::class.method=unknown ::thread=Worker-7 ::loggername=org.eclipse.update.core
I could generate dumps if that would be useful.
Security is also locked down fairly tight here. It could be a security issue - is there a way to troubleshoot that? Once I get to the hang I'm just stuck guessing.
This has been edited for clarity and to update information
I know that this is post is over 5 years ago but...
for those that find this and are trying to resolve the error
SEVERE Could not access digest on the site: no protocol: "
is due to the update site project not having the URL of the Domino updatesite.nsf not being added to the Archives tab of the site.xml.
I found the updatesite.nsf also needs to be anonymously accessible as no credentials are prompted/passed through to the Domino server hosting the updatesite.nsf database (at least from DDE), YMMV from eclipse. So if Anonymous connections are blocked on the Domino server you will be out of luck.
To develop a plug-in you really want to have 3 projects:
the plug-in
the feature
the update site
Of course a feature can contain more than one plug-in (and probably should) and a update site can contain more than one feature (and probably should). Once you have an update site project it features a handy button "build all" that makes sure plug-in, feature and update-site get compiled in one go. And that button is what you really want.
You can point using a setting in your Domino Designer (or local Domino server) to the feature directory. Add a plain text .link file to framework/rcp/eclipse/links, that contains the path to your install site - it then picks up the features and plug-ins from there. After a build you would need to restart designer/server to activate the updated feature.
For the Domino server the approach using an updatesite.nsf and the respective notes.ini setting makes the most sense (to me). http restart required. Lazy people script the whole thing.
I still don't have a great answer for this, but I believe the issue is related to the environment here. I don't have the authority to change the environment, even if I were able to conclusively demonstrate it is the cause of this problem, so it is a moot point. All I can say is that at least one administrator computer had no issue installing from the update site.
For me, the solution for distributing the update site is to put it on a network drive and have everyone install it from there. The server has no problem using it from the updatesite.nsf.
I'm working with Google App Engine in Eclipse w/ JSP pages in Windows 7.
I already have an app deployed and working, but I am unable to make changes to it for some reason.
If I make changes and debug locally, my localhost page is showing the changes that I implement.
While I am not getting any errors in the deployment, the same changes that work on my local debug are no longer showing up, so I can't update my app.
I thought updating the version number might help, but I had no luck with this.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Are you deploying the same version (as specified in appengine-web.xml) as the default version that is running on your app? If not, you'll have to access your new deployment at http://newversion.appname.appspot.com, or change your default version in app engine to your newly deployed version.
I have had the same problems too, especially when the changes concerned the static pages. Some little things to check:
If you have set an expiration date in your app.yaml, your browser cache could be holding the file.
If it’s specific to the online contents, it could be an intermediary cache (such as a squid server) serving the outdated contents, in which case you’d have to flush the cache to get the new version.
You could start by checking the log on the GAE console to see if the request is received by the server, that would help you debug.
Another trick, if you’re being served an outdated version of http://yourapp.appspot.com/index, try and pass a dummy argument to force the browser to update the version, for instance : http://yourapp.appspot.com/index?p=1
i have requirement. i have created the window application and i have created the setup of that application that has been installed to client machine.
Now the requirement is that if i will do the further modification to the project the client not need to install whole application again instead client only need to install Update of new version. like using Patches or something. How can i do this is there and tool in VS from which we can create the update patches or something.
Please Help..
There are several options, but they depend on which installer you used in the first place.
It is very easy with Inno Setup, as (if the file items are configured correctly) InnoSetup will detect that the application is already installed and only copy modified files, even though you publish the entire setup. This will be automatic.
If you used the built-in Visual Studio setup project, it is also possible, but you must set a different "upgrade id" in the setup properties. I haven't worked much with this, yet.
A third option is using Windows Installer XML (WIX), which is able to generate patch installers, but I haven't worked much with WIX yet.
One last option would be to write something yourself that is able to exchange old files against new files, but you'd have to keep UAC in mind for newer Windows versions.
I have solved the problem...using ClickOne Setup of VS. i publish the win form to a specific URl and each time when application launchs its check the Upgraded version if available it install and run.
