Server Error on Production

kevin.waterson@gmail.com

I have an installation, which works fine locally, but on the production server gives error 500.

Local server:
$ php -v
PHP 7.1.17–0ubuntu0.17.10.1 (cli) (built: May 9 2018 17:28:01) ( NTS )
Copyright © 1997–2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.1.0, Copyright © 1998–2018 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.1.17–0ubuntu0.17.10.1, Copyright © 1999–2018, by Zend Technologies

Production Server:
$ php -v
PHP 7.2.24–0ubuntu0.18.04.6 (cli) (built: May 26 2020 13:09:11) ( NTS )
Copyright © 1997–2018 The PHP Group

with Zend OPcache v7.2.24–0ubuntu0.18.04.6, Copyright © 1999–2018, by Zend Technologies

So, something has changed. In the error.log I get the following:

[2020–07–06 16–37–05] PHP Warning: session_set_cookie_params(): Cannot change session cookie parameters when headers already sent in /var/www/my.domain/html/vendor/nette/http/src/Http/Session.php:426 @ https://my.domain/contact

Line 426 in Session.php is:

$cookie[‘httponly’]

So, the exception.html file tells me
Nette\InvalidStateException
Cannot start session when headers already sent
vendor/nette/http/src/Http/Session.php:90
$e = new Nette\InvalidStateException($message);

So, obviously headers are being sent before session start is called, and the only difference is ubuntu and PHP versions.
The error seems to come from the form generation… maybe?
Has anybody else seen this behaviour?

Hi,
do you use addProtection in a form? In that case it is safer to manually start session in the presenter using $this->session->start()

Starting session in the presenter produces and error:

Nette\InvalidStateException
Service Session has not been set.

Currently the service creates the session from vendor/nette/http/src/Http/Session.php

Nette\Utils\Callback::invokeSafe('session_start', [], function ($message) use (&$e) {
  $e = new Nette\InvalidStateException($message);
});

This is where the error seems to originate, but not on my local copy, only on the production server, which has a slightly later version of PHP

For future visitors: Remove content of the /temp/ folder and it should help.

Error 500 in production mode

If the application works correctly in development mode and throws a 500 error in production mode, the cause may be in an outdated cache. While Nette cleverly automatically updates the cache in development mode, in production mode it focuses on maximizing performance, and clearing the cache after each code modification is up to you. Try to delete temp/cache.

In any case, the reason for the error is listed in the log. If you don't see anything in the log (and in error 500 is notice Tracy is unable to log error), find out why it can't log errors. For example, switch to development mode and call Tracy\Debugger::log(‘hello’) and Tracy will tell you why it can't log. This may be due to insufficient permissions to write to the log/ directory.
