Hi Kyle, this looks like a misconfiguration at your host. The sqlite3 module is being loaded twice in the configuration. Do you have access to configure your own php.ini file, perhaps sitting immediately in your public_html or www directory? If so, can you see whether there's a line that looks like this:
extension=sqlite3If so, try commenting it out with a leading semi-colon, so that it looks like this:
;extension=sqlite3The same idea applies if you have access to php.ini files elsewhere. If this advice doesn't help then you'll need to talk to your host's technical support.
This could already be done with the existing API that Lightroom uses. There's no need for an extra API. We haven't documented our API, or made a decision about whether it is a good idea to do so. (e.g. if it's in a a state of flux, or will cause support issues).
That's great. Thanks for letting us know your success and the specs. Enjoy Backlight 3!
Question !! Should I go back and change the PHP memory back to 64M or leave it as is ?
There shouldn't be any harm in leaving it at 128M. That's usually what I set my web servers at.
Thanks for sharing your experience and and advice. We also appreciate not having to support the old way of dong things, and the myriad of ways that things could go wrong.
Hi Thomas, I'm not sure why you would have been locked out after upgrading. The module-framework update only addresses a minor issue with language switching that wasn't working properly with the cart.
You're okay to upgrade.
Thanks for the kind words, Glen, and for letting us know that the upgrade went well. I'm here working the 'night shift' after release. We do exhaustive testing, but with the heterogeneous server environments and setups, there are usually issues that we can't foresee.
That's great. We don't want you to have disasters.
Thanks for the kind words, Tom! That's what we like to hear. Enjoy BL3!
Oh dear. That's not how it's upgraded. All it takes is to log into your Backlight admin, visit Backlight Modules and click Upgrade Modules.
Do you have a backup of the old backlight folder or can you get one from your host?
Link to your site? What steps did you take to upgrade from BL2 to BL3?
I'm glad that worked. Why did you need to restart Safari?
That's really strange. The way it's meant to work is:
1) Visit Backlight Modules page => see the list of modules with new versions
2) Click Update All Modules
3) After ten seconds or so, you'll see a plain page with a long list of text, with updates 2.9.0 etc through to 3.0.0. On that page is a link "Click here to continue". Clicking that take you to
4) The Backlight Modules page, with a list of all modules updated to the new versions.
What's strange is that the upgrade through 2.9.0 to 3.0.0 is all in a single transaction. Either all of it should happen or none of it. Not some parts upgraded and others missed.
Thanks. I do not know how, but the upgrade process on your server did not trigger the right database changes. I have made this happen by changing the version in the database back to 2.8.0. Now it is again at three and the database structure is correct.
When you clicked Update on the Backlight Modules page, did you see a page with a long list of upgrades listed? e.g. version 2.9.0, version 2.9.1, etc., till reaching 3.0.0? That's the time that the database upgrade should have worked.
What version of Backlight were you upgrading from?
What version of Backlight were you upgrading from? Can you provide me with a Backlight admin login via email so I can take a look.
Interestingly, you would have had to have had the zip extension to have installed Backlight 2. Perhaps your host has removed or disabled that extension since then?
Hi Herschel, your PHP installation is missing the Zip extension, which should be standard. If you have access to the available extensions (e.g. via your site's Control Panel) then enable the extension there. Otherwise you'll need to ask your host's technical support to enable it.
It looks like your PHP setup has a maximum memory limit of 32 MB, which is very low. The zip file that's extracted during upgrade is 16 MB, so it's easy to see that reading that file and extracting it will exceed the memory limit.
Can you increase the memory_limit setting in PHP? A more reasonable value is 128M. How you do this will depend on your host. Possibly via the site's control panel.
Hi Dieter, the error shown is "database disk image is malformed". Can you try re-uploading the copy of the file backlight/data/admin/master.sq3 to your new server?
If that doesn't help, then can you provide me with FTP access via email so that I can try and work out what's going wrong?
I've found the issue and released a fix. The localisations are all application-specific (designer, publisher, cart, etc.). Changing the language in the album wasn't removing the cart settings. Can you visit the Backlight Modules page and update module-framework to 2.0.15.
The diagnostics page is abandoned. It was created when the Cart configuration was stored in a text file, back in CE2? I can't see any way of getting to that page without a direct link.
As above, if it was set to Managed by Lightroom then the order is only available to the plugin upon first publish. I’m glad you got it working.
That’s right, Rod.
Custom order from Lightroom only works on initial publish. If you change the photo order after that then the new order won’t come through.
This is a limitation of Lightroom. It does not provide the ordering information or any way for the plugin to find out the order.
Hi Graceson, this can be fixed either by going to Designer > Templates > Assign Templates and selecting a template for Search, or by setting the Search Template field in the main Backlight settings.
