Hello,

in the log-file of the mahara-cronjob (mahara-version 1.3.6) there are every day the same error-messages at the same time, like this:

[Fri Jul 29 05:50:03 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] [WAR] ec (lib/mahara.php:2360) DOMDocument::loadHTML() [domdocument.loadhtml]: Tag wbr invalid in Entity, line: 2670

Has anybody an idea what to do?

Thank you for help,
michael

It's nothing to worry about.  It's in the cron_check_for_updates function in lib/mahara.php.

Mahara is trying to scrape the launchpad downloads page to see if there's a new version of Mahara available, and the only point of that is to display a message in the admin section to encourage the admin to upgrade.

It looks like the function was made more robust/less noisy in 1.4, so if it bothers you, you could upgrade to 1.4, replace that function with the 1.4 version, or even just delete cron_check_for_updates from your cron table (to make it stop running).

Hello Richard,

thank you for your answer. You were also right.;-)

I followed your advice and deleted the cron_check_for_updates from the cron table to make it stop running and now: there are no error-messages any more. ;-)

thanxs & greetings,

michael
