Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
My apologies, Chris. I didn't click on the "newer" link at the bottom of the Google Group topic to see it had been resolved prior to sending my last email. Like I said in my direct email reply though, I am glad you got everything working as it should be. It's possible (and completely plausible) that your host had disabled the ability for users to disable mod_security2 via htaccess. This may not be the case for everyone though, so it's still a viable option to try first. :) On Aug 24, 10:05 am, Chris P wrote: > Hi Brendon > > Thank you SO much for helping me out with this - it was indeed a server > issue - mod_security2 is the culprit and after a brief battle they > agreed to turn it off. > > As mentioned on the weekend, I couldn't have ascertained this without > your and everyone else's help to rule out my code and cake, and > establish that the server was a feasible culprit. > > Thanks *hugely*, > Chris > > > > Brendon Kozlowski (Realm) wrote: > > I've been thinking about this over the weekend, and...to be honest, if > > it's a server issue (you're testing with the same version of CakePHP > > on both your development machine, and production server, right?), I > > think you're probably going to have to resolve this with your host. > > > To see what options are available/running on your host within PHP, you > > can use the phpinfo() function.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
Hi Brendon Thank you SO much for helping me out with this - it was indeed a server issue - mod_security2 is the culprit and after a brief battle they agreed to turn it off. As mentioned on the weekend, I couldn't have ascertained this without your and everyone else's help to rule out my code and cake, and establish that the server was a feasible culprit.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
I've been thinking about this over the weekend, and...to be honest, if it's a server issue (you're testing with the same version of CakePHP on both your development machine, and production server, right?), I think you're probably going to have to resolve this with your host. To see what options are available/running on your host within PHP, you can use the phpinfo() function. You simply run that on a page all of its own and view the output (both production and development) and compare the two results to see what might be different (other than paths and Operating Systems).

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
After a small struggle with my budget hosts, they've told me my text was triggering a mod_security2 rule and are willing to disable it for my site (if I assure them I'm on the case re security). As far as I can tell you cannot disable this in .htaccess files. Thanks SO MUCH for helping me eliminate my code and CakePHP - I couldn't approach my hosts until I was confident that it wasn't my code or CakePHP, and that blaming the Apache config was plausible, which I couldn't have done without the generous assistance of everyone here.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
I submitted a ticket about this to my host's server admin, and including http://geocities.com/ in the request caused: Not Acceptable An appropriate representation of the requested resource /pdesk.cgi could not be found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. HTTPD Server Server at www.getsomesupport.com Port 443 Removing those few characters allowed the ticket to submit successfully.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
Sorry for my lack of clarity - simple version: The redirect override caused errors, but didn't seem to be called when I repeated the error anyway - I get a completely normal homepage rather than a Save confirmation when I save anything with any field containing http://geocities.com/ Same code locally does not exhibit this error - only difference is MySQL version, that its Windows-based, and the server configuration. Disabling mod_security did not solve the error. Test subdirectory under public_html returned a 500 error. Unrelated tables in the system still exhibit the error. Does this point to Apache or PHP? And if so any diagnosis ideas? THANK YOU ALL!

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
You are such stars for helping me with this - its incredible thank you so much! I tried the new redirect method but got errors (missing arguments for AppController::redirect(), $status and $exit undefined) when I tried to log in, as this involved a redirect to the login form, so I logged in and then copied across the redirect override - to no avail - when I save the changes it redirects to the homepage, which contains no hint of the error. Also got the site working locally (was my PHP version thanks so much AD7six) - and can't repeat the defect. Do these point to Apache or PHP as the cause? I tried disabling mod_security using: SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off in every .htaccess file in my site, but it didn't make any difference (I sanitize everything, and it can't be this as it doesn't happen locally - unless it could be that local is Windows and host is Linux - seems very unlikely). I'd really appreciate any tips if anything's obvious about resolving the redirect override - or does the fact that it works locally mean this is unlikely to reveal anything? Tried creating a test subdirectory but suspected it wouldn't work - I get a 500 error probably related to my non-standard directory layout (so that my cake and app directories are outside my public_html directory - seemed safer). My reason for another site is in case the forum software has somehow added this filtering site-wide - it seems to be a server setting, (its only $11). I do get this error when I try the text in any table in the system (including tables that are nothing to do with tinyMCE and very little to do with the rest of the code). Will try baking an unrelated table to see if I can repeat it there but I very much expect to as it seems platform related. As far as I can tell, I don't have access to PHP settings - just CPanel on a shared hosting platform. Am I right in suspecting Apache or PHP? If so any ideas where I can look? I can't find anything likely by googling filters for either. Does Cake automatically use certain PHP filters on all POST and GET submissions or something? Thanks HUGELY, I'll be so incredibly happy when I/we crack this Chris/tt On Aug 18, 5:11 pm, "Brendon Kozlowski (Realm)" wrote: > I like archF6's suggestion, it's easy to test, and if it doesn't solve > it, continue from there.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
I like archF6's suggestion, it's easy to test, and if it doesn't solve it, continue from there. It might work, it might not. I don't think a 500 server error would automatically redirect (but instead stop execution). Regardless, it's about a 20 second test. With Dreamhost I can enable/disable mod_security, I'm not sure if you would be able to test that on your host or not. To be clear - I don't know why mod_security would mess with this, but it can't hurt to take a look if you're able to make such changes.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
The redirect method belongs to Controller in /cake/libs/controller.php . That's the cake lib file, you don't want to edit that one. You can either : * define a new class or edit the existing class named 'AppController' in /app/app_controller.php * simply overwrite the 'redirect' function in your own controller class, though I'm not sure this will be sufficient since we are in doubt that Cake ever arrives at your own controller code Good luck with it :) On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 5:23 PM, technicaltitch wrote: > > App was built Oct 2007 but it's taken the organization this long to > find funding for someone to test and work on it, (hence I'm struggling > to get my head round stuff again). > > I will have a go at creating a test subdirectory and adding that debug > code- fantastic fantastic ideas thanks - probably blindingly obvious > to PHPers but not to me (a decade working with C, Java and .NET but > only ever used PHP on volunteer projects). > > Is it possible that a phpBB install may have had this as a side- > effect?

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
Also worth mentioning, if SecFilterScanPOST Off doesn't do it, or causes new 500 server errors, you can rebuild apache (easily if you have easyApache!), just be sure to not include the Security Mod module. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
I experienced a very similar problem, but with textile, not TinyMCE. Basically in certain circumstances, upon submission of a textarea field, I received a 500 internal server error (I also had issues with the word 'from'). This only happened on production, which, per foldiman's post, suggests it is a server config issue. By adding SecFilterScanPOST Off to the .htaccess file, I was able to resolve the issue. Hope that helps.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
App was built Oct 2007 but it's taken the organization this long to find funding for someone to test and work on it, (hence I'm struggling to get my head round stuff again). I will have a go at creating a test subdirectory and adding that debug code- fantastic fantastic ideas thanks - probably blindingly obvious to PHPers but not to me (a decade working with C, Java and .NET but only ever used PHP on volunteer projects). Is it possible that a phpBB install may have had this as a side- effect? Ie, can filters be set up on all form input for a given space on a shared CPanel server? I have commented out my controller method and seen the error, so I'm assuming the redirect is called elsewhere, where do I put the redirect override code pls? As far as I can tell it isn't my code requesting the redirect but perhaps I'm missing something obvious? I commented out my controller method, route.php just has the default page specified. Tried debug level 1 and 2 and nothing is displayed about the error, or anything preceding the current page. Thanks SO much for your help - this is all so useful and despite my wandering off-subject, absolutely exactly how I hoped people would help me and I'm massively grateful, Chris --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
If AD7six says not to upgrade a Cake 1.1 app to Cake 1.2, then I
apologize. I didn't think there'd be that many upgrade changes from
1.1 to 1.2 (my memory must be getting bad - oops).
Anyway, as far as baking from a different table, I did not mean to
create an entirely different app. You can simply add a test table to
the current database you're using for your project ('tests') and test
your erroring strings (i.e.: http://www.geocities.com) in a simple,
newly built, untouched CRUD interface to verify if it's a bug with
your version of Cake, or with your code. All you'd need to do is add
a new model, controller, and view for the tests table within the same
project - as it wouldn't be linked to your CMS by default, I don't
think it'd cause any issues.
However, I'd recommend taking AD7six's advice.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
The original post about problem strings and TinyMCE reminds me of a problem I recently had. Search for "500.shtml error? What is this? Help!?" in this group. But I had built a basic CMS that allowed an admin to change text in specific views. Whenever the text contained "from" or other specific words, submitting the form would redirect the browser to a page that did not exist. Removing TinyMCE allowed the text to submit without a problem. However, TinyMCE was a requirement. It turns out the server admin had set the mod_security settings to protect against sql injection. Once he removed the mod_security settings site-wide, the problem went away. I made sure I was using Cake's sanitize function as a sql injection protection. I hope this helps.

1.1 .. when was this app originally built? You should definitely not
upgrade your cake version to anything other than 1.1.x.
PHP 5.2.8 is not the same as php 5.3, I'm guessing that means you
installed wamp - which with 1.1 will almost certainly not work without
tweaks.
Cakephp is still php - meaning it's php files you can edit and put
things like debug('here'); in it (it's worrying that the concept of
debugging code seems alien).
Your main question seems to be "why does my own code redirect me with
certain input" - so why not override the redirect method and find out?
meaning:
function redirect($url, $status, $exit) {
$this->log($url, 'aname');
$this->log($this->here, 'aname');
$this->log($this->data, 'aname');
$this->log($_POST, 'aname'); // should be ~identical to $this->data
$this->log(debug_backtrace(), 'aname');
//return parent::redirect($url, $status, $exit);
debug(__FILE__.':'.__LINE__); // <- move or copy to anywhere you want
die(__FILE__.':'.__LINE__);
}
Also, why rent another server, instead of just copying your app setup
in its entirety into a (protected with a password if you want)
subfolder of your app webroot and test away yourself?
meaning:
app
webroot
testing
app
app_controller.php <- with debug code in it
...
cake
http://mysever.com/testing/ <- your 'personal' debugging space.
hth,
AD

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
Wow wow wow. This question has quickly become about 8 separate questions, none of which still seem to directly pertain to the original. ;) Your NOTICE, WARNING, and DEPRECATED error messages are PHP-related, due to the settings in php.ini. I thought CakePHP usually overrides that setting, but if the local server isn't yet 100% working properly, perhaps Cake itself isn't running properly. - Which version of PHP are you running on your local server (hopefully not 5.3 quite yet, but a 5.2.x version)? - Which version of CakePHP did you just upgrade to? CakePHP 1.3 is for PHP 5.3, but still has a few lingering issues. 1.2.4 is the most recent stable version that I would recommend while trying to fix unknown issues. - What is your php.ini's error_reporting set to? You'll probably want it set to E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE - Did you try creating a simple baked model, controller, and view in your other site and test saving the URL and text data, or did you skip to upgrading as you felt it'd be better anyway?

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
Definitely possible to upgrade CakePHP - will try when I get my dev version working. Realised I had phpBB and phpMyChat installed, have uninstalled phpMyChat to no avail but not phpBB as we want to keep it. Tried a higher debug level but the page displayed is just the homepage with no trace of the failed save in. It was previously level 1 but thanks for the tip Bert! Having trouble installing a local version - currently the images appear fine but the Cake variables are all undeclared. I've just grabbed the code on the server and put it in the Apache www folder (installed using Wamp). I've duplicated the database setup and directory structure so database.php and index.php are still valid (index.php is all relative to __FILE__). I've checked .htaccess, added mod-rewrite in httpd.conf, changed to port 8080 so it doesn't clash with IIS. My directory structure is: root->cake->cake and root->cake->app and root->public_html and I've changed the Apache DocRoot to root->public_html and ensured AllowOverride All Sorry for the stupid questions Chris On Aug 13, 10:54 am, Bert Van den Brande wrote: > Are you working in CakePHP debug mode ?

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
Are you working in CakePHP debug mode ? I would advise setting the debug level to 2 , this would output performed sql queries which can be usefull in this case to find the cause of the error. Also, come to think of it ... I think Cake gives 404 errors when in production mode (debug level 0), thus hiding the real error message. Good luck !

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
My first thought, is "would it be possible to upgrade to CakePHP v1.2.4 to possibly remove any lingering effects of an older code base?" My second thought is, "If upgrading is out of the question, did you try 'baking' a very simple MVC based on a test table in your DB that you can attempt to duplicate the issue?" Both of these suggestions I would recommend doing on a development machine, not on the server.

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
Thanks hugely delocalizer and bert and anyone else who reads this. I am trying to get the site working on Apache locally (I did have it but the hard disk crashed a couple months ago and I'm struggling hence the delay). I hadn't come across debugging PHP before - sounds very useful. What is the generally recommended setup for debugging PHP? I've found a couple Eclipse plugins - EclipsePDT based on xdebug and PHPeclipse which seems more basic. The string length does not seem relevant - the two strings currently isolated are: http://geocities.com/ [ed: this is not a link - this is the text I enter into the text field that creates the error] and the two Spanish sentences in my original post starting "Los animales silvestres..." - either of the sentences on its own does not crash, just the pair together. I don't specify the string length in the CakePHP, and it happens to both varchar(255) and blob database fields (mysql 5). By 404 I mean that when I press submit, it redirects to the homepage, which is exactly what it does if I type in a non-existent URL. I'm not sure what is doing this but if I can figure it out I'll create a 404 page to confirm.

Hi tt; How long are these strings? What datatype are you using to store these strings in the db? b.t.w. the links in your post to the examples don't appear to go anywhere useful... :( On Aug 6, 8:23 pm, technicaltitch wrote: > Dear all, > > Please I'm desperate - if you had a simple CakePHP app, and certain > strings in any text field caused it to give up without any error and > display the default homepage, where could you look?

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
What exactly do you mean with 'to do something that looks like a 404 error' ? Can you reproduce the bug on a local development machine ? In any case I would suggest to setup PHP debugging and step through the code so you can detect what exactly causes the error ...

Re: Certain strings crashing CakePHP - where do I look first?
Dear all, Please I'm desperate - if you had a simple CakePHP app, and certain strings in any text field caused it to give up without any error and display the default homepage, where could you look? I'm not asking for possible solutions as I realise this is too obscure for that, but I've absolutely no idea what part of the server could possibly have this effect. Anything that has anything to do with looking at form strings site-wide. I have removed all my controller code, I have removed the TinyMCE controllers and seen the bug in plain text inputs as well as textareas, I have tried GET and POST forms, I have tried entering the text via phpMyAdmin, or on a non-CakePHP site hosted on the same infrastructure and they work fine. Entering this string into any text field causes the error: http://geocities.com/ but entering this doesn't: http://geocities.com (ie, without the last character). Similarly for the string in Spanish in my original post - each sentence on it's own doesn't, but the two together does cause this error. Please ANY tip would be hugely appreciated - my PHP isn't at a level where I can trace through the Cake code, I've spent nearly a week on this, my next step is to rewrite the CMS in plain PHP which is several weeks' unpaid work I've no idea how I'll fit in.
