Certain Addons Do Not Install or Uninstall Properly in 5.6.1

Permalink
At first, I thought this was just an issue with only one or two addons, but it now appears that a majority of addons may not be compatible with 5.6.1.

On a fresh install of Concrete 5.6.1, only a couple have successfully installed, but all the rest gives me an idential error as follows upon install:

Warning: require_once(/home/gcloca5/public_html/growthcurve.co/concrete/blocks/cart_links/controller.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gcloca5/public_html/growthcurve.co/concrete/core/models/block_types.php on line 826
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/gcloca5/public_html/growthcurve.co/concrete/blocks/cart_links/controller.php' (include_path='/home/gcloca5/public_html/growthcurve.co/libraries/3rdparty:/home/gcloca5/public_html/growthcurve.co/concrete/libraries/3rdparty:.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/gcloca5/php') in /home/gcloca5/public_html/growthcurve.co/concrete/core/models/block_types.php on line 826


In only a few cases when I try to uninstall, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function delete() on a non-object in /home/gcloca5/public_html/growthcurve.co/packages/promedia/controller.php on line 127


I have tried clearing my cache, changing cache settings, and nothing has made any difference. What's happening here?

C5.6.1 is the best release put out in a long time. It's the most tested, most debugged, most pull request merged, best version of the cache implementation so far.

You have something else going on here. I think you should consider testing in some other environments. Different stacks, different machines, different servers....something.

I think you're assuming it's the addons or the core....and it's likely neither one.

Is anyone else at all having this problem?

I just tried installing the same addons I've been having problems with in 5.6.0.2, and everything works fine there. I would say this proves that something is wrong with 5.6.1, OR just that not all addons are compatible with 5.6.1.

All of RadiantWeb products have been tested extensively throughout C5.6.1 beta and release, and there are no other reports of install issues with our products for 5.6.1. 5.6.0.2 had issues...but that was a cache issue that we did nothing about because of the impending 5.6.1 cache overhaul.

And that I know of, besides the cache re-work, everything else was merely bug fix and nothing major that I know of that should/would have any adverse effects to any addons.

If you are running opcode cache (like APC) you may need to disable it or reconfigure it?

Again, I think you should set up some alternate test environments to rule out some specific wackiness of your specific host or local stack set up.

I know that your ProBlog addon installs and works fine in 5.6.1. However, the Document Library does not install in 5.6.1, and neither does the eCommerce package.

Ironically, Document Library uninstalls perfectly fine 5.6.1, but eComemrce throws errors during uninstall.

Also, it has just now come to my attention that my host provider moved everything to a new server, so I have to wonder if this has something to do with this issue.

I just tried installing ProMedia and eCommerce in 5.6.1b4, and there were no issues. This was on the same server, but for a different website.

Hi

I appear to be having the same problem but it is more of an upgrade of a Add On as opposed to upgrdaing Concrete5.

I have been on the same version of Concrete5 since I started in November '12 (5.6.0.2). I tried to upgrade the Who's Online add on as it advised there was an upgrade available for it. Now the page (my home page) that this add on is on has now crashed and I am also unable to add further blocks to any other pages because it sees that Who's Online is no longer available.

I have posted several posts trying to get this issue resolved but I am getting no answers.

Any advice?

I just got the same error when trying to uninstall the Booking Add on.

Fatal error: Call to a member function delete() on a non-object in /hsphere/local/home/jreshard/uptown.risg.com/packages/proevents_booking/controller.php on line 56

Is there a way to manually uninstall the Add on?

@brownrisg - that's not the "same" error. Please see your support ticket.
