Installation error: Illegal string offset 'packageid'

Installation freezes at Step 4, line 129.

Seems to be a problem with the parameter 'packageid'

Re-starting installation goes no further.

Any ideas?

vB 4.2.2 fresh install, PHP 5.4.14.

Code:

Step 4

Adding data to table: bbcode
Adding data to table: vw_nodetype
Adding data to table: product
Adding data to table: productcode
Adding data to table: productdependency
Adding data to table: package
Adding data to table: contenttype
Adding data to table: activitystreamtype

Fixed in the current release. Please download the ZIP again and Continue the installation.

Unfortunately users who installed on vB < 4.2.2 get past this point without an error message, so their activity stream types and widgets need to be rebuilt in the next upgrade. Those users would be unable to see wiki items in the Activity Stream and would be unable to use wiki-related CMS widgets, but only if they installed prior to this posting. Users who install after this posting would be unaffected by this issue.

Still not right, I'm afraid. Process still dies at line 129.

The product locked up as well and can't be uninstalled via ACP 'manage products' section.

This is a test forum so data loss is not an issue. As such, I reinstalled vBulletin agauin onto a clean DB and started again.

Step 4 remains a problem but does not flag 'productid' as a fatal error. Instead, we get a windowed database error after 'cms widget' is added:

Adding data to table: package
Adding data to table: contenttype

Adding data to table: blocktype
Adding data to table: cms_widgettype
Adding data to table: cms_widget

Code:

Sorry!

Fixed in the current download. The $widgetids array (only) should be using 'product' parameters rather than 'productid'. It's just wonderful how vB uses 'productid' and 'product' interchangeably without warning on different database tables.

^ lol

having fun?

Not sure if you'd prefer me to start a new thread? Database error is resolved, but the problem is still there.

In vault/core/controller/install/rebuild/vb3.php, find:

Code:

// reload blocks and block types

Add after:

Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_block.php');

Hi there,

This appears to have resulted in a successful installation (in that I can return to ACP and use the wiki functions). Thankyou for your time and continuing efforts.

Although the installation ran through to the completion message, there were a number of warnings that were spit out. Due to the javascript overlay that is presented at the end of installation, I wasn't able to directly copy/paste them. I did however manage to grab them via Firebug before returning to ACP.

Again, under Step 4, after adding data to table: cms_widgettype, the following is produced:

Code:

Warning: Declaration of vB_BlockType_vwactivity::getHTML() should be compatible with vB_BlockType::getHTML() in ..../includes/block/vwactivity.php on line 128

Under Step 10, after importing_article_languages, the following is produced:

Code:

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in ..../includes/class_core.php on line 724

Not sure how critical these are? The latter feels like it might present problems in the future.

I'm happy to perform a full re-installation if it's helpful for you.

The first is a problem with callback signatures that vB hasn't yet fixed in 4.2.2. If you use the forum home sidebar you might see similar messages from time to time. The second maybe more critical, but you can check the settings in the VaultWiki Admin Panel Language Manager to make sure they are okay.
