Missing PHP modules?

Pfredd · 2018-09-12 21:08:26

After upgrading to Backligfht 2, I get the following error message when I go to my site {pfredd.com}:

Unableto find the SQLite module. Backlight 2 requires the PDO, SQLite and XML modules. Make sure that these modules are installed and enabled.

If I have Backlight list the PHP modules, it appears that the "missing" modules are actually installed:

If I go directly to an Allbum or Almum Set page, it appears to work fine.

I am running PHP 5.6

The only thing I can think of is that your site has different PHP versions configured via the .htaccess files at the top of your site and under backlight/ respectively. Are you able to look at those files via FTP and see if there are AddHandler entries in either or both, and if so what they are?

Here is the .htaccess that is in my site's home directory:

# Use PHP56 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    <FilesMatch "\.(eot|font.css|otf|ttc|ttf|woff)$">
        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On

        #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(.*?/)(.*)::\2$
        #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=BASE:%1]
        ##RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=BASE:]

        RewriteBase /
        RewriteCond $0#%{REQUEST_URI} ([^#]*)#(.*)\1$
        RewriteRule ^.*$ - [E=BASE:%2]

        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=QS:mod_rewrite=on]

        RewriteRule ^([^\/.]*)-single.php$ %{ENV:BASE}single.php?%{ENV:QS}&id=$1 [QSA,L]

        RewriteRule ^([^\/.]*).css$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&extension=css&name=$1 [QSA,L]
        RewriteRule ^([^\/.]*).js$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&extension=js&name=$1 [QSA,L]
        RewriteRule ^([^\/.]*).gif$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&extension=gif&name=$1 [QSA,L]
        RewriteRule ^([^\/.]*).png$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&extension=png&name=$1 [QSA,L]
        RewriteRule ^([^\/.]*).jpg$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&extension=jpg&name=$1 [QSA,L]

        #RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !mod_rewrite=on
        #RewriteRule ^index.php$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS} [QSA,L]

        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !mod_rewrite=on
        RewriteRule ^mobile.php$ %{ENV:BASE}mobile.php?%{ENV:QS} [QSA,L]

        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !mod_rewrite=on
        RewriteRule ^(.*)download.php %{ENV:BASE}download.php?%{ENV:QS} [QSA,L]

        #RewriteRule ^/?$ index.php [QSA,L]

        RewriteRule ^$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS} [QSA,L]

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&page=$1 [QSA,L]

And here is the one in backlight:

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    <FilesMatch "\.(eot|font.css|otf|ttc|ttf|woff)$">
        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(.*?/)(.*)::\2$
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=BASE:%1]
        #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=BASE:]

#       RewriteBase /backlight/
#       RewriteCond $0#%{REQUEST_URI} ([^#]*)#(.*)\1$
#       RewriteRule ^.*$ - [E=BASE:%2]

        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=QS:mod_rewrite=on]

        RewriteRule ^/?search\/?$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&m=publisher&c=gallery&a=search [QSA,L]

        RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z_\-]+)/([a-zA-Z_\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)\/?$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&m=$1&c=$2&a=$3&p1=$4&p2=$5&p3=$6&htline=1 [QSA,L]

        # Enable passing of mod_rewrite for /backlight/ site root
        RewriteRule ^$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&htline=7 [QSA,L]

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^.*$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php?%{ENV:QS}&htline=8 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

That doesn't look like it would cause the problem. Can you try disabling the line in the first one, so that the start looks like the below and report back on what happens when you visit both the top of your site and the backlight/ URL?

# Use PHP56 as default
#AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php

Commented out the AddHandler and Backlight threw up because PHP wasn't at the right release level:

Your server is running PHP Version 5.2.17. Backlight 2 requires a minimum of PHP Version 5.4. We recommend PHP Version 5.6 or above.
Change your PHP version via your site's Control Panel or contact your host to enable a newer vesion of PHP .

The really weird thing is that I an 99% certain that everything was working OK last night when I first did the conversion from Backlight 1 to 2.

Today I started messing around with mt pages and temlates, including uploading a new album, and that is when I noticed the error.

I may revert my site back to before the upgrade and try again.

Something else to try:

1. Undo that previous commenting out.
2. Edit the file index.php at the top of your site, by adding one line so that the top of it looks like the below.
3. See how that PHP Info displayed differs from the PHP Info within Backlight. Most important is the version. Other things to check for are to see how the occurrences of XML, PDO and SQLite differ between the two PHPInfo pages.

<?php

phpinfo(); die();

define('BACKLIGHT_DIRECTORY', 'backlight');

Pfredd · 2018-09-13 03:04:08

I restored my web site to pre-Backlight 2.

I then re-did the upgrade from Backlight 1 to Backlight 2.

It appears to be working correctly.

I published a new album with no problem from Lightroom.

So, I guess I had done something wrong previously.

Will let you know if I run into the issue again....
