Found them – turns out the user I was looking at some how didn’t register with the form, and so none of the fields appeared on his meta.

Thanks!

Anyone know why this is happening ??

Thanks!

Code is now on Pastebin

Upgraded to 3.0 and enabled multi-site
Migrated my customizations and everything works fine.

Hopefully it doesn’t break again ??

I am hating the idea, but I may have too. It’ll be a pain in the butt because I have some customizations that i’ll need to port (integration with third party databases)…

But I installed WP 3.0 and it turns out they removed the annoying “strip www” __feature__ so aside from that I should be okay as long as all my plugins come over ok.

It is really strange that random files just caused the site to die like that. I don’t think I’ve ever had another environment just crap itself for no known reason.

I also checked the last modified on some server configs…

/usr/local/lib/php.ini was last modified: October 15 2007 18:13:37.
/services/apache/conf/httpd.conf was last modified: April 23 2010 06:20:11.

And last build of Apache/PHP was: Feb 1 2010 12:21:26

So it does not appear that anything in the server environment has changed since the problem started occuring.

I put it in debug mode and followed the instructions…

The outputted errors included

[14-Jul-2010 15:10:26] PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  plugin in /services3/webpages/t/d/MYDOMAIN.COM/public/blogs/wp-admin/includes/mu.php on line 825
[14-Jul-2010 15:10:26] PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  plugin in /services3/webpages/t/d/MYDOMAIN.COM/public/blogs/wp-admin/includes/mu.php on line 850

[14-Jul-2010 15:10:26] PHP Warning:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /services3/webpages/t/d/MYDOMAIN.COM/public/blogs/wp-includes/kses.php:1) in /services3/webpages/t/d/MYDOMAIN.COM/public/blogs/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 868

If I comment out each of the lines listed, the errors go away but the problem does not. still a white screen.

I disabled the cache, ran the included DB repair/optimize script in wp-admin/maint/repair.php and still no resolution.

So I’ve started doing some manual debugging by throwing echo statements in to /wp-admin/index.php and each file it calls

I’ve managed to trace it through

index.php
  require_once('admin.php');
     auth_redirect();
        if ( $user_id = wp_validate_auth_cookie( '', apply_filters( 'auth_redirect_scheme', '' ) ) )
           function wp_validate_auth_cookie($cookie = '', $scheme = '')
              wp_parse_auth_cookie($cookie, $scheme)

Which is where my echo trace seems to die and I cant figure out why. I have no cookies in Fire Fox right now… Same issue in IE.

Unfortunately we are on a shared hosting account and our provider is usually unwilling to provide any sort of log data outside of the apache access logs for our domains.

Is there a way to put wp in debug mode and have it trace what its doing so I can figure out where it is going bad?

Thanks

Thanks for the help ??

I got it…

I changed
mysql_connect("XXXXXX","XXXXX","XXXXX");

to
mysql_connect("XXXXXX","XXXXX","XXXXX",TRUE);

Apparently if you don’t do TRUE, PHP screws with any existing MySQL connection to do what it needs. Putting TRUE forces it to create a new session.

Its back up now ??
I was hacking around with some of the code.

I’ve been line by line debugging my code, and for whatever reason when I open the new SQL connection it causes issues. If I comment out my SQL commands wordpress pulls the site categories properly

Thats part of the problem esmi, the perma-links for posts 2-4 do not generate properly, only the first one does.

I’ve attached my header.php as well in case it is of interest

in my header I had get_permalink() for some reason. When I removed it, the first item now shows with a broken perma links

Here is the link to the full index.php
