BFD Calendar

@matjazp First I downgraded to PHP 7.4, made no change. Then I replaced wire 3.0.246 with wire 3.0.123 from your link. PW 3.0.123 was the version I had a month ago when everything still worked. Then the site didn't show anything, not even errors. So I uploaded wire 3.0.246 and got the error back. Finally I uploaded the latest dev version from GitHub upgraded again to PHP 8.2 and, hurray the site is back – a bit crippled as now quite some errors appear in my templates. There are apparently many changes between PHP 7.4 and 8.2 that I need to figure out now.

@BrendonKoz No, I do everything on the site hosted by OVH provider. I've done it for 12 years now and it has over 30.000 pages. You can see how it actually looked like on 24 June 2025 here: https://web.archive.org/web/20250624203839/https://www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net/. I have a database backup from the PW module 'bfd_20251003_processwire.sql'. So do you mean installing a fresh PW site on a local computer, install all the site modules and templates, and import the sql database? That simple? I'm an artist (https://www.performan.org/exhibitions/), and not really a coder....

@BrendonKoz As said above I can't get into the PW admin interface anymore. No matter what page is called, everything gets stuck at Uff da… Fatal Error: Class FieldtypeImage contains 2 abstract methods and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (FieldtypeHasFiles::hasFiles, FieldtypeHasFiles::getFilesPath) (line 18 of wire/modules/Fieldtype/FieldtypeImage/FieldtypeImage.module) This error message was shown because: site is in debug mode. ($config->debug = true; => site/config.php). Error has been logged. I can access the errors.txt file via ftp. For today (2025-10-07) only there are 19092 errors as above. In my provider's error log I can see plenty of [Mon Oct 06 20:26:03 2025] [X-OVHRequest-Id: 0b8c2f578748d1061d5e670a11218ce2] [error] [client 54.161.50.125:0] [host birthfactdeathcalendar.net] AH10157: FastCGI: An error happened during Fastcgi processing, fallback to CGI [Mon Oct 06 23:52:49 2025] [X-OVHRequest-Id: da62e0ad0f08ee270e46e69c4cdbb0b7] [error] [client 51.57.57.231:0] [host birthfactdeathcalendar.net] AH01264: script not found or unable to stat: /homez.863/birthfac/cgi-bin All those are Amazon and Microsoft ip addresses. Apparently the robots.txt file doesn't keep those away. I manually replaced the latest wire and all site modules are up to date. Template errors that showed up earlier are all fixed. But as long as I can't get past the Fatal Error there's not much more to do or try I presume. And the most baffling thing is that everything worked fine yesterday for about two hours, without any further change the Fatal Error just popped up.

@ryan The $config->debug is set to true. The errors.txt is a hefty 257,8MB file....

It's now visible if you go to the site. In this log there are still 11 or 12 errors per minute, so I presume there are still bots targeting the site. Apart from the Amazon bot mentioned earlier I also stopped Google Search Console, so it's hard to tell where they keep coming from.

Update once more.... I uploaded the last PW wire version and it worked, but the error logs showed problems with FieldtypeMapMarker, TextformatterHannaCode, Pages2Pdf. I replaced those manually with the lasted versions. Then everything worked perfect - for two hours. Now without any further changes the PW site is gone again due to internal server error. The overdrive in connections was due to an Amazon bot. So in the .htaccess I added <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (Amazonbot) [NC] RewriteRule (.*) - [F,L] </IfModule> and in the robots.txt I added User-agent: Amazonbot Disallow: / In the provider error log for today there's only [Mon Oct 06 00:43:11 2025] [X-OVHRequest-Id: c27eb4c65e400e7a0437243896ebb722] [error] [client 72.14.199.130:0] [host www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /homez.863/birthfac/www/.well-known [Mon Oct 06 07:40:25 2025] [X-OVHRequest-Id: 4f22632b5d87972a361b0b0f8841a1fb] [error] [client 51.57.57.231:0] [host birthfactdeathcalendar.net] AH01264: script not found or unable to stat: /homez.863/birthfac/cgi-bin but the last entry is from 6 hours ago, after that everything worked fine for at least two hours. I'm getting desperate, even more because everything worked perfect for two hours and then went dead just like that.

@psy Where did you find the older versions of PW on github? I'm looking for 3.0.123 as this was working fine for me. @matjazp I uploaded that file but still can't login. As mentioned, I want to get my latest working version back working.

@psy That's an option indeed. First I'll ask my provider why the backup version was restored corrupted. I do have older PW wire versions on my site, but none of them managed to get anything back. While I usually only add/edit pages and change almost nothing to modules or other PW settings.

@ryan Well there were quite a few errors that occured after the upgrade from PW 3.0.123 and PHP 7.x to 8.2. Like in all templates "$feature->template==bfd_events" didn't work and needed change to "$feature->template=='bfd_events'". Or "$webimage = $page->images->random()->url;" no longer worked. I managed to find out everything and got the site back working, when the above mentioned errors started appearing and my provider shut down the site. I went back two weeks in time with a backup option from my provider to make sure I'd get it all as it was before upgrading anything. But now I only see the first lines of the site, and the admin site is no longer reachable: internal error or misconfiguration. Even downgrading to PW 3.0.98 doesn't make any difference and of course now I can't even see any error logs as admin. Other pages like https://www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net/phpinfo.php load normal. With my provider I upgraded my hosting to allow more resources. The AI bot option might be the culprit, could it be Google trying to crawl/index the whole site? There are over 30.000 pages.... Report from Google Search Console: https://search.google.com/search-console/index/drilldown?resource_id=sc-domain%3Abirthfactdeathcalendar.net&pages=ALL_URLS&hl=en&sharing_key=N-nvEOUPuUWWfngX3zI85w.

Update. I restored to a backup from two weeks ago provided by my provider. Now I'm getting an error on both front and back end: Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Class 'ProcessWire\InputfieldText' not found in /home/birthfac/www/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldName.module:7 Stack trace: #0 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/Modules.php(1545): include_once() #1 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/Modules.php(1502): ProcessWire\Modules->includeModuleFile('/home/birthfac/...', 'InputfieldName') #2 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/WireClassLoader.php(202): ProcessWire\Modules->includeModule(Object(ProcessWire\ModulePlaceholder)) #3 [internal function]: ProcessWire\WireClassLoader->loadClass('ProcessWire\\Inp...') #4 /home/birthfac/www/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldPageName/InputfieldPageName.module(20): spl_autoload_call('ProcessWire\\Inp...') #5 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/Modules.php(1545): include_once('/home/birthfac/...') #6 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/Modules.php(1502): ProcessWire\Modules->includeModuleFile('/home/birthfac/...', 'InputfieldPageN...') #7 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/WireClassLoader.php(202): ProcessWire\Modules->includeModule(Object(ProcessWi (line 7 of /home/birthfac/www/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldName.module) This error message was shown because: you are logged in as a Superuser. Error has been logged. How to solve this?

My provider shut down my website www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net because my database is getting more requests than the Web Hosting plan can handle. Matomo statistics tell me I have an average of 60 visitors a day. But I'm getting plenty of errors - like 100 in one minute - in the ProcessWire log for all kinds of page requests: Error: Exception: SQLSTATE[42000] [1226] User 'birthfacbfdcal' has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 8780) In /wire/core/WireDatabasePDO.php line 549 This started after upgrading from ProcessWire 3.0.123 to ProcessWire 3.0.246. How can I solve this problem? I'm trying to go back to a provider backup from two weeks ago, before the ProcessWire upgrade, hoping to get my website back. For now I can still get into the ProcessWire 3.0.246 admin pages but I don't know for how long. I have several sql backups of my site and made a site profile today. Again I'm not sure how safe it will be to use them without running into the same problem — as long as I don't know what's causing them and how to solve them. If anybody can help....

As more or less expected our host says there are no problems or errors caused by them. In the server logs I see two repeated errors: [Tue Sep 30 22:46:25 2025] [X-OVHRequest-Id: 7bd91c71e88c4eaaf8f23be0ca59b7dd] [error] [client 34.174.180.159:0] [host www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net] AH10141: FastCGI: comm with server "/homez.863/birthfac/www/index.php" aborted: idle timeout (160 sec) [Tue Sep 30 22:46:25 2025] [X-OVHRequest-Id: 7bd91c71e88c4eaaf8f23be0ca59b7dd] [error] [client 34.174.180.159:0] [host www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net] AH10149: FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/homez.863/birthfac/www/index.php" In the ProcessWire error log I see two repeated errors: Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Class "FieldtypeText" not found in /wire/modules/Fieldtype/FieldtypePageTitle.module:17 Stack trace: and many: Error: Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1203] User birthfacbfdcal already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections In /wire/core/WireDatabasePDO.php line 549 In the Files-error log repeated: unlink: Unable to unlink file: /site/assets/cache/LazyCronLock.cache

Thanks! I'll see what our host (OVH) says and keep you posted.

At some point this happened to me as well. However only if I browsed the website while I was logged in as admin in the same browser. So for what it's worth try with a different browser, log out as admin or even use a VPN to test.

I'm monitoring the ProcessWire logs to find eventual PHP errors that needed a change by upgrading ProcessWire and PHP. Some old PHP was not recognised anymore, but most of that is done now. Most pages get some content (images) from external websites, usually just one per 'person'/page, and several on queried pages, like ' $features = $pages->find("parent=/events/|/the-eyes/, bfd_day.name=$todayday, bfd_month.name=$todaymonth, sort=bfd_year"); ', giving a list of events for 'today' with an average of 30-40 features. It all went well for over 10 years and without any notable changes the problem occurred and got worse. The problem affects the whole website, same when I call the home page or any other page including admin pages, even the Matomo statistics sometimes give a 500 error. From the hosting error logs I get many '[Wed Sep 24 00:08:51 2025] [X-OVHRequest-Id: 1d8b279cbdb0de4b3c5dad4c408a1f98] [error] [client 34.174.60.244:0] [host www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net] AH10141: FastCGI: comm with server "/homez.863/birthfac/www/index.php" aborted: idle timeout (160 sec)' errors. I filed an error report with them and wait for reply. There are no hooks used anywhere, site modules are up to date and give no errors at all in the logs. With an average of 30 visitors a day it's not extremely busy either. There are however over 33.000 pages.

Same happens with PHP 8.2, and even PHP 7.3 on another website with same provider (OVH.com). It has been FPM/FastCGI all the time (https://www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net/phpinfo.php). It shows up in the logs as errors but doesn't interfere much with the site itself. The site often loads slow and has many '500 Internal Server' errors that I'm trying to resolve, hence my upgrade of ProcessWire and PHP.

Updated to this last version but I still keep getting an error: Parse Error: syntax error, unexpected token "{" Line 1984 of /site/modules/Pages2Pdf/mpdf/mpdf.php Also, images are stretched when rendering the pdf: https://www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net/events/dates/november/1-november/?pages2pdf=2867 This is the code for images: <td width='150' valign='bottom'> <div style='max-width:150'> <img src=\"{$webimage}\" align='right' style='width:100%; height:100%'> </div></td> Processwire 3.0.246 PHP 8.4

Apart from plenty of '500 Internal Server' errors, I'm also getting a bunch of these ones: Error: Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1203] User [database-name] already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections In /wire/core/WireDatabasePDO.php line 549

Updated to ProcessWire from 3.0123 to 3.0.246 with PHP from 7.3 to 8.4 and getting plenty of errors "Trying to get property 'title' of non-object" and more on https://www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net. Where did it go wrong and/or how to solve it?

Works simple and effective. But is it possible to have the sound start playing automatically? And maybe hide the player?

Thanks!

On an 'exhibitions' template I have a Page Auto Complete field 'works_id_list' with a multiple page array, where I can choose works that were to be seen in this exhibition. On the front page, the list of works can be seen. Most of the 'works' have the parent 'Works', but recently I want to add pages from a different parent as well. I can add them in the 'Custom find' or 'Selector string' part, and find/select them but they are not validated because they are not in the parent 'Works'. Although it says in the template part of 'selectable pages' "Select the template of the pages that are selectable. May be used instead of, or in addition to, the parent above." there seems to be no way to remove the parent, only change it to a different one. Any way to solve this?

By trial and error I managed to solve the issue. I had a 'qrcode' field on the product template and for some reason that didn't work. By removing the field in the PW template and the php file and even removing the module the error was gone. No idea what one had to do with the other but anyway, problem solved.

Just recently I'm getting errors when viewing or editing product pages, still using Padloper 1.3.0 on PW 3.0.123 with no recent upgrades or changes. When just trying to access a page the error is Error: Exception: Method Field::getContext does not exist or is not callable in this context (in /home/mekanoinsa/www/wire/core/Wire.php line 519) When trying to edit the error is Error: Exception: Method Field::getContext does not exist or is not callable in this context (in /home/mekanoinsa/www/wire/core/Wire.php line 519) #0 /home/mekanoinsa/www/wire/core/Wire.php(386): ProcessWire\Wire->___callUnknown('getContext', Array) #1 /home/mekanoinsa/www/wire/core/WireHooks.php(723): ProcessWire\Wire->_callMethod('___callUnknown', Array) #2 /home/mekanoinsa/www/wire/core/Wire.php(442): ProcessWire\WireHooks->runHooks(Object(ProcessWire\Field), 'callUnknown', Array) #3 /home/mekanoinsa/www/wire/core/Wire.php(445): ProcessWire\Wire->__call('callUnknown', Array) #4 /home/mekanoinsa/www/site/modules/FieldtypeQRCode/FieldtypeQRCode.module(326): ProcessWire\Wire->__call('getContext', Array) #5 /home/mekanoinsa/www/wire/core/Wire.php(389): ProcessWire\FieldtypeQRCode->___wakeupValue(Object(ProcessWire\Page), Object(ProcessWire\Field), '') #6 /home/mekanoinsa/www/wire/core/Wire.php(416): ProcessWire\Wire->_callMethod('___wakeupValue', Array) #7 /home/mekanoinsa/www/wire/core/Page.php(1422): ProcessWire\W Any idea what's going on?

The actual shop part is only accessible to our staff members as we only sell stuff at our counter. At busy times we sell over 100 products a day.

@Jozsef Used Ryan's TexformatterVideoEmbed and it works now. Thanks for guiding me there.
