Magento

Hi,

Having problems with Connect Manager - basically I get the Magento Connect header graphic and then blank content underneath. The outputted page doesn’t appear to be pulling in the relevant data:

It’s just pulling in the top of the page template files and nothing else. I’ve set all folder permissions in /downloader to 755 and all files to 644 so I can’t see where the problem lies. Any ideas?

p.s. I’ve searched the boards and google but haven’t been able to come up with an answer.

Have you fixed it? I have also this error, i got this after I’ve installed a new extension.

no, no joy as yet.

Try to acces your Magento Connect with Google Chrome, it has worked by me but I can’t still access it with Firefox or Internet Explorer.

I’ve found out now that it isn’t a browser bug, it’s something else, very weird, just put directly site.com/downloader without http://www and you will fix the problem in any browser.

neither of these options work for me…

Same for me , nothing works, using 1.4.10 version of magento :((

Having the same problem here, any success finding a workaround?

Hi all,
I have a similar issue.  When I click on Magento connect manager from the backend I get a blank white screen/page.
My URL is like this:
http://www.mysite.com/downloader/?return=http://www.mysite.com/index.php/admin/

Any idea where I should start?

Thanks,
Sam

I am having the same issue as Samstha. Any Ideas ?

I was able to resolve the issue,

I added the following code in .../downloader/index.php

Mage_Autoload_Simple::register();
ini_set(\"memory_limit\”,\"1028M\");
umask(0);

signed out and signed back in. It worked!

let me know if it works for you. (P.S. I used 1028M on the php.ini file as well)

I experienced the same issue yesterday when trying to setup a test shop using the latest Mage Community Edition 1.5.1.0 release.
The test server was setup with CentOS 6.0 (32bit) + nginx 1.05 + php-fpm (php 5.3.6) + apc 3.1.9
The Mage Connect blank page issue I ran into seemed not be related to a shortage of memory assigned to php, in my case being 128M.

It took me some debugging but I managed to isolate the issue in the following file:

<magento_base_dir>/downloader/lib/Mage/Connect/Singleconfig.php

In my case the problem was caused in the save function of that file.
The following (problematic) method is used: gzcomress, this method seems just to halt the complete php execution without any errors being thrown.

I’ve created a small test php file (gzcompress_test.php) which showed the same behavior, the last echo statement is not displayed.
It just looks like the rest of the php execution is halted.

To skip the usage of the gzcompress method in <magento_base_dir>/downloader/lib/Mage/Connect/Singleconfig.php
you can change the following line

This is at least what I have done as a temporary workaround until I have figured out why gzcompress is behaving the way it does in my test environment.

Ok, I figured out what was wrong with my setup.

Because of the error control operator (@ character) before the gzcompress method call, any error messages that might be generated by that method call will be ignored.

So I removed the @ character in my gzcompress_test.php file and guess what? The error was finally displayed:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function gzcompress() in <location of gzcompress_test.php>

So I was missing zlib support in my php configuration.

By the way, I strongly agree with the last sentence in the following this bug description:

@ should not be used when function can generate fatal err

Hi,

I have found an other conflict that I have resolved. I share this it can be useful.

Sometimes there are conflict with php 5.3 an the memory set in magento.  (exact php version 5.3.8)
Basically it is not possible under my configuration to change the variable memory_limit either in the .htaccess file or any other files

Check if the set of memory_limit cause the error or if you previously had this error in your environment.

Under this circumstances you have to comment the following line:

Comment the line commented as above

For Magento ver. 1.6.1.0 file:  downloader/Maged/Connect.php
For Magento ver. 1.4.2 file:  downloader/Maged/Pear.php

Excuse my english I’m french with some gramitical english rules to learn

Hopes it helps
