Title: Importing from SMF 2.0.7 - "Cannot set time limit"
Post by: Leftie on May 7th, 2014, 12:00 AM

Using the SMF 2.0 to Wedge importer (downloaded today) with the newest nightly build of Wedge.
The importer fails at "step=1", with the following error:

Code: [Select]

Message: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit due to system policy
Trace: set_time_limit(): Cannot set time limit due to system policy
Line: 1513
File: /<redacted path>/import.php


I'm guessing it is some sort of DB authorization that's missing, but I don't know enough about this stuff to know where to start looking. Would anyone care to enlighten me?

Thanks @foo for this post(http://wedge.org/pub/8656/moving-from-smf-2-rc5-to-wedge-alpha-a-success-story/), thus providing the hints I needed to get my old SMF forum imported into my Wedge install.

However, I'm now facing a new problem, and I'm not sure where the error really lies.
After the import, whenever I generate a new page (as an admin user), I get a new entry (or two) in the Error Log of one of the following types:

Code: [Select]

index.php?action=admin;area=logs;sa=errorlog
8: Undefined index: homepage
Admin.php
Line: 71

Code: [Select]

index.php?action=admin;area=featuresettings;sa=b…
8: Undefined index: homepage_desc
ManageSettings.php
Line: 87

The error manifests as a missing menu item as well as a missing page in the Admin panel (see attached images).
I do have a custom homepage entry, but I've checked the database, and it's unaltered since before the import.

Any help in correcting this would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you are missing translations for this strings(or whatever it could be) that doesn't exists in default wedge repository. Is it a plugin, or what is it, that modified these files where error occurred?

I think it's safe to remove those strings, until they are not bound to anything. But best would be to restore these files from github.

Purge cache (Admin menu). If this doesn't fix it, make sure the language files are up to date.

:oops:
Purging the cache solved it, of course.
I've read it so many times on this forum, but still I managed to completely forget it.

Jot this down as PICNIC or PEBKAC then :whistle:

I checked out the importer script, and it IS using the @ error suppress command for set_time_limit() (as this would normally bypass any errors from the server), which implies that your host is a bad one that doesn't care that tons of scripts will never install without making changes to them. Great...

I'm wondering if doing a function_exists or is_callable call on 'set_time_limit' would result in a positive or negative result from your server, Leftie...?

Do you know how to test that?

Let's start with what I do know how to do, so this doesn't make me look like a complete idiot ::)
I know how to code (java, C, assembly, perl, bash) and use functions from different APIs.

I haven't done any web-related coding though, so I'm unsure of how to get the output I'm looking for. That is; how do I display the return value in a usable manner? I do understand what you're asking for, and realize that it's probably less than five lines of code, but if you could whip up a test for me, I'll be glad to run it for you :)
