Sometimes you find a problem in TYPO3 CMS that you don't find quickly a solution, or you don't know exactly was is the source and where to looking for.
This is the quickly 5 points that every TYPO3 Developer do to solve the problem:
- Clear the cache
- All, page, configuration caches
- Check if localconf/temp_CACHED_* files are deleted in TYPO3 4.5 versions
- Rename typo3temp/Cache folder in typo3temp/__deleteme__Cache in newer TYPO3 versions and after tested it works just delete it
- Inside install tools compare DB and update
- Deselect rename to zzz_* fields and tables if you are not really really sure of it (at the end of the compare)
- Deselect drop zzz_* fields and tables if you are not really really sure of it
- Look for error in your log files:
- Open the log in plesk or your panel or in your terminal and look for some php error
- Enable deprecation log and look inside, usually are only warning, but sometimes it can give you an idea
- Enable log in install tool, devlog, Dlog and sql log, of course only for your IP, you can do all in your localconf:
[php]
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['devIPmask'] = '127.0.0.1,::1,PUT.HERE.YOUR.IP';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['enable_DLOG'] = '1';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['systemLog'] = 'file,/var/www/vhosts/your_website/httpdocs/typo3conf/log.txt';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['enableDeprecationLog'] = 'file';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['enable_errorDLOG'] = '1';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['enable_exceptionDLOG'] = '1';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['sqlDebug'] = '1';
[/php]
- Look for TypoScript errors
- Open template -> maintemplate in home -> Template Analyzer for errors
- Repeat for all templates
- Open phpinfo (in install tool) Look if memory_limit is enough it should be > 64M, max_execution_time > 60 seconds.
- Some projects needs more than 128M and 240 sec.
