Hi All,

We are running Mahara 1.4.0 on an Ubuntu Server with Postgres. After upgrading to 1.4.0, I noticed an error when editing a collection. When I deselect the “Add a horizontal navigation bar to every page in this collection by default” option, I get the following error:

A nonrecoverable error occured. This probably means you have encountered a bug in the system 

This has never happened before and we made no other changes to the system. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Just confirmed this error using demo.mahara.org.

Unchecking the Page navigation bar option when creating a new Collection and clicking Next also gives a nonrecoverable error.

Hello Mike and Ben,

I just had a look at demo.mahara.org and also my local install of 1.4 and don't have a problem with the horizontal tab navigation. I don't get an error message. Could you please empty your cache and try again? I had a problem earlier after demo was upgraded because my browser had stored more data than was good.

Cheers

Hi Kristina,

Thanks for looking into this error.

I have cleared the cache on Firefox 5 and Chrome 12 (Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 to make sure) and still have the error with demo.mahara.org.

These are the steps I have used:

Portfolio > Collections > New Collection

Collection name: Bug Test

Page navigation bar [unchecked]

> Next: Edit Collection pages

Mahara: Site unavailable

A nonrecoverable error occured. This probably means you have encountered a bug in the system

Hi Again,

Yes, Ben is right...http://demo.mahara.org generates the same error under the same conditions. This is definitely a bug.

I can confirm this in demo.mahara.org

but it's not confirmed inTDM instance/s of 1.4. I cannot reproduce it in either of the two that i have tried. As well as in my localhost test environment.

^ Mahara 1.4.0 / Firefox 4 / Chrome 12.0.742.91 (87961) Ubuntu 10.04 / MySQL

weird?

So I guess this a PostgreSQL error?

Hi Thomas,

We are using Postgres as our database, as Mike has suggested that seems to be the only difference between the setups.

If the demo.mahara.org site is using Postgres too then it could be a link worth investigating.

Should this error be escalated to full bug status?

Hello,

I am sorry that I missed the "unchecked navigation bar". I also get the error now and reported it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/804989
