Well, I've finally upgraded to GM 1.7.2 but not without some issues. After making sure everything is CHMOD'd, and uploaded via ASCII; The biggest headache was that the configuration page was filled in with completely wrong info - I've worked through and filled in everything and am pretty sure it's accurate. After doing this, I was able to access most of the options at gm.cgi - but now when I post a new post, nothing gets posted, new comments cannot be made and Rebuild Everything or perform Diagnostics & Repair, I get the error page: Software error: An internal error has occured and the administrators have been notified. For help, please send mail to the webmaster (webmaster@hamtramckfirefighters.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. -- Operating system Linux Apache version 1.3.37 (Unix) PERL version 5.8.7 Page that GM is used: www.hamtramckfirefighters.com/index2.htmlThanks for any help!

John, You should check the Installation Instructions and review the Installing For The First Time section because there are more details here than in the upgrade section. Look at steps 2 thru 6 closely. phd-hosting.com/greymatter/downloads/gm_install.htmlGood luck, Carlos

Im looking through your source to see if i can help. And even though its probably not related to this error, i would like to point out some things that you might want to consider.
First off, line 9-14 in index2.html (.raised) needs to be closed with a '}' before the </style> tag. (I would sugest adding a ';' after the color codes as well.)
At line 19 (body), Firefox error console tells me that 'scrollbar-*-color' are unknown declarations.
At lines: 229, 237, 245, 253, 261, 269, and 277 you should place a '#' before the color code 'ccc'.
When trying to post comments at your site i get: 'The file "/home/jhamtram/public_html/archives/00000055.htm" doesn't seem to exist.'
Are you sure you have added the correct path's to your config? I access the page through 'http://www.hamtramckfirefighters.com/archives/00000055.html', so it would seem to be a path error.
EDIT: I just noticed. Its a suffix error. Try changing .suffix setting to html.

John,
jesper got it, look at the error line below
"/home/jhamtram/public_html/archives/00000055.htm"
but your files are at
"/home/jhamtram/public_html/archives/00000055.html"
so goto your config page and change the file suffix setting from htm to html

I will work on the rest of the fixes! Thanks for the heads up - I'm a firefighter, not a web designer I did change the suffix setting with no luck - still getting the same error message. Again, I will keep up on the rest of the fixes in the morning and go over those more intense installation instructions as well. Thanks again.

Hmm, poking along through the new install of GM, I just noticed that the main index template is all screwy. Rather than being all the html, it's now simply:
gmentrypagelinkseparatortemplate=
That's not normal, now is it?

That is not normal. Do you see that when you edit the Templates through gm.cgi?
I believe your gm-templates.cgi file could be in a bad state. What version of Greymatter did you upgrade from?
Lastly, did you do a Rebuild All after making your suffix change? If your templates are incorrect, you may not want to do the change just yet.
P.S. I liked the look of your site.

I'm not real sure which version of Greymatter I upgraded from. I'm using 1.21b on another, and I know I was using a newer version on Hamtramckfirefighters.com.
The gm.cgi will not let me 'Rebuild Everything,' I get: Software error: An internal error has occured and the administrators have been notified.
For some reason, all the settings went wacky in the upgrade process, I've already reconfigured the Configurations and settings, not I need to redo all the templates and I'm going to guess everything else as well -- but I get that error message anytime I try to save something. sigh.

Can you save the templates at all? I am guessing that all the templates show up as weird?
1.21 is before my time and I can see where things might have badly.
I was wondering if you have looked in your error logs to see if there is more info about the Internal Error? If you can see your error logs, there is a Trace file (on the Download page) that will put some helpful debugging in the logs.
Also, you could try backing up your templates file and then putting the default gm-templates.cgi in place. If everything works, then we know there is something with the original templates file. I am worried since you cannot do a Diagnostic and Repair.

Well, everytime I click to save the templates page, I get the Error page. One I open the template page, the templates are the ones I tried to save earlier. So I guess it's working.
Same with a Test story I posted. I got the error page, but the page appears on gm.cgi but did not post.
I get nothing with Diagnostics or Rebuild.

I discovered that if you make sure to uncheck the 'Automatically rebuild all entry pages after saving', you can save without errors.
