Upgrading from DS 7.x-1.2 crashes Drupal

You should check your error logs of either php or your webserver - this has nothing todo with a browser.

I'm getting the same problem and don't even have the module enabled currently

When I attempt to run update.php my browser returns the following error:
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

My Apache error log reports the following:
[Fri Aug 12 13:38:29 2011] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 255 -- Restarting.

As soon as I remove the ds folder from the sites/all/modules directory the situation resolves.

Hrm, looks like a php 5.3.x error - I should really start deploying and testing on php 5.3, still doing that on php 5.2. That's a good pointer, it's most likely that, I'll investigate that next week.

Ok, this is weird, I can easily run DS on PHP 5.3 - note it's PHP 5.3.6 on my local machine here. There's one php 5.3.x issue in the queue, see #1244896: Revert layout results in warning: Parameter 1 to ds_revert_layout_field_settings_form() expected to be a reference, but I don't think that would relate to an apache crash since that file isn't called often. And I don't see any problems related to the .install file as well. So, so far I can't reproduce this at all and I can't really tell what's going on here, maybe upgrade to latest PHP version ?

I used to have same issue, it was cost by some missing table. (missing update script?) Reinstall of DS solved errors.

Hi,

Having the same trouble when I try to install it from scratch (either the 7.3 or dev version).

I've checked my apache log, but there's nothing in it when trying to access the admin/modules page (with ds folder in my module folder).

I've tried with several browsers. Chrome only tells me this :

Erreur 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET) : The connection was reset.

Note also that my php.ini memory limit is set to 128Mo. My PHP version is 5.3.4.

Hope that helps...

Looks like PHP 5.3.4 seems to be a consistent factor - it happens at least for 2 users - I'll have to try and install that version - I'm running 5.3.6

Could anyone running php 5.3.4 try and upgrade (or downgrade) and see if the crashing goes away ? - In the meantime I'm trying to find a 5.3.4 version (I'll have to built myself I'm afraid) and see I can reproduce this.

Also, here's a patch that changes the ds_update_7003 line - you never know.

updated patch - again, not even sure.

Hi,

I've tried the two patches, but same problem... :(

I'm not sure I am keen enough at upgrading my php version, but I'm sure that unfortunately all hosing systems won't have the latest version.

Thanks for help.

For what it's worth I didn't have any problems upgrading with php 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2

Subscribe. I also have PHP 5.3.4 on a WAMP setup and after installing DS 7.x-1.3, Drupal crashes. All I get in error log looks the same as Paul Driver's above.

However, I had no prior version of DS installed, 7.x-1.3 was the first version I ever installed on this system.

OK, I've narrowed this down to ds/modules/ds_extras/ds_extras.module

Basically what I did is

1. Install DS via http install URL from admin/modules/install
2. Server crashes now, so remove ALL files from sites/all/modules/ds, restart server
3. Server responds again normally, doesn't list Display Suite
4. Then I added one file at a time, and reloaded admin/modules/list after each file addition:
   1. ds.info
   2. ds.install
   3. ds.module
   4. ds/modules/ds_extras/ds_extras.info
   5. ds/modules/ds_extras/ds_extras.install
   6. ds/modules/ds_extras/ds_extras.module

And BANG, that's where the server crashes. If I now remove the file, the server still crashes until it has been restarted.

Hope this helps.

Further investigation suggests that the description field of ds_extras.info is too long. The attached patch fixes the problem for me.

Please review.

@dub4u THAT is awesome. I'll make it my personal goal this weekend to try and get myself a 5.3.4 installation and reproduce this behavior. I hope I can somehow can find the root of this problem, since I'm kind of afraid this might be a really freaky PHP problem. I'll do the best I can, really thanks for that report!

Oops, cross posted, that patch is an even better step. Can anyone in this thread try and see if this fixes the problem. @dub4u, as I've said in #16, I need to try and get me a 5.3.4 installation and hope that everything crashes first and that patch fixes it :)

@swentel: yes, this looks like Drupal core has a problem with PHP 5.3.4

I can confirm that the patch in #15 works. I am running PHP 5.3.4 on Wampserver 2.1.
Before the patch the Apache error log reported: Parent: child process exited with status 255 -- Restarting

Ok, I've committed this to the dev version, thanks!
