[Plugin: eShop] eShop plugin not working

if wordpress works, then eshop shouldn’t have a problem.

Try re-uploading both, just in case a file didn’t transfer correctly.

anything showing up in the servers error log?

I have no idea as to why it would work on one but not the other.

eShop is running successfully in various locations now, so I can only assume that this problem is caused by the web hosting. I don’t know enough about that side to know whether your error affects anything or not.

Sorry 🙁

I’ve had the same problem. On my local wordpress installation (XAMPP), it works. On a dreamhost.com site, it works. When I run it on my client’s corporate server, the entire site goes blank as soon as I activate the eShop plugin.

I’m not a server genius, so I’m not entirely sure what to look for, but one of the tech guys said “something is dying with an ‘Illegal Instruction’ error when you try to view the page, which can be caused by running a Linux binary instead of a FreeBSD binary.”

Sorry for the late reply.

I run PHP 5.2.6 at the momement, but I have tried running it with both 5.2.4 and 5.2.8 without any difference as such. Something causes a segfault when accessing the WordPress front page after activating the eShop plugin. The admin section works as normal though.

In the plugin manager a notice on the top says “eShop 3.0.0 is installed, however you still need to deactivate and re-activate the plugin.” However, doing as instructed just causes the notice to reappear.

Nope. The logs are empty apart from the segfault (which causes Apache’s child pid to crash).

I’ll give lighttpd a try and see what happens. But my guess is that there is too much recursion somewhere or a problem with an extension that I am not able to pin down at the moment.

Thanks but that didn’t work either. I’ve now tried running lighttpd instead of Apache but it’s basically the same. The front-end now returns a 500 Internal Server Error, and in the error logs I find only this:

2009-02-10 12:37:56: (mod_fastcgi.c.2489) unexpected end-of-file (perhaps the fastcgi process died): pid: 13096 socket: unix:/tmp/php.socket-1
2009-02-10 12:37:56: (mod_fastcgi.c.3299) response not received, request sent: 1115 on socket: unix:/tmp/php.socket-1 for /wordpress/index.php , closing connection

I’ve tried eliminating in which file the problem might be, and the 500-errors stops (and thus the segfaults) when removing the cart-funtions.php out of the equation.

I’ll try to cut it down further, but I don’t have the time at the moment As you say it is a lot of work.
