Recently I updated one of my CMSMadeSimple websites. After the CMS system was updated I run into the following problem:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/www/ivan/site/lib/smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php(270) : regexp code on line 5
Fatal error: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Failed evaluating code: ‘{php’ . str_repeat(" ", substr_count(’{* You can also instantiate custom behaviour on a module by module basis by looking at the $entry->module and $entry->modulerecord fields in $entry ie: {if $entry->module == ”News”}{News action=”detail” article_id=$entry->modulerecord detailpage=”News”} *}’, " ")) .’}’ in /home/www/ivan/site/lib/smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 270

The search function didn’t work and system stopped with the error above. I reinstalled complete new version of CMSMadeSimple and ended with more errors. All related with comments in the template or in the search "Result Template" areas.

To fix the search function follow my instruction below:

• Login on the CMSMadeSimple Admin page
• Go to Extensions / Search and click "Result Template"
• Remove the comment starting with {* to *} and submit

• Try the search your website again.
• Wow it solved my problem

The issue has to do with single quotes in combination with the mysql and Apache version. Hopefully some of you can add some comments for additional information.

I am working on a redesign project for a CMSMadeSimple website and today I planned to upgrade the version. The website is running for two years and until today no updates have been installed. CMSMadeSimple version 1.4 “Jamaica” has just been released and because I want to add couple of new CMSMadeSimple modules I will first need to get the version up to date. The process is really straight forward and it took me 15 minutes in total.

• Download the latest version from here–> cmsmadesimple-1.4-full.tar.gz
• Extract the file with 7z and upload the content to your webserver by using ftp,sftp, ssh.
• I am using WinSCP to the files to my linux box. I dragged the files from left pane (my c drive) to right pane where the current CMSMadeSimple files were located. At some point I was asked to overwrite files and I clicked yes.

• Go to your admin page.

• I have couple of warnings I need to solve like removing the install directory and the “Site Down for Maintainance” message but most important is that you perfom the CMSMS schema upgrade. Click Start Upgrade Process.
• Verify your config.php is writable.

• I checked my config file from ssh console and the permissions were not configured as required.

root@ubuntu-jeos-7:/var/www/cmsmadesimple-1.2.5/hubo-roneijgelsheim/site# ls config.php -all
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 5829 2008-08-06 10:16 config.php

• To fix this problem I executed: chmod 777 config.php; chown www-data config.php and chgrp www-data config.php
• I went back and click “Try Again” in the Upgrade System wizard.

• The schema version was upgraded to 31 and now I could finish the upgrade by clicking on the last step.

• Setup Finished all required steps in the upgrade process and my website was up and running and up to date.
• I fixed my other two warnings and my site is now secure, updated and most important the process went very smooth.
