Is this a BUG? "Delete failed: '5d3370c8cf39dcebf24c51290"

Post by squishyalt » Sat Jul 05, 2008 8:26 pm

I have no idea what "Delete failed: '5d3370c8cf39dcebf24c512903c10190'" means. ???

I didn't try and delete anything, I was simply changing the timeout setting in Global Configuration > System > Session Settings.

This happens when making other changes also, but the "Delete failed:" gives a different string each time.

What is happening? ???

Should I be worried? :eek:

What should I do to fix it, if anything? :pop

Re: Delete failed: '5d3370c8cf39dcebf24c512903c10190'

Post by squishyalt » Sat Jul 05, 2008 8:37 pm

I turned on both debug settings and the only delete event I saw was the following...

#
DELETE
FROM jos_session
WHERE ( time < '1215286527' )

I don't know if this is it - or what could be causing this to fail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated (warnings make me nervous about the stability of the site).

Thx!

I turned on logging of errors in MySQL using MySQL Administrator and I clicked save again.

I got the same type error, but no errors logged in MySQL.

Looks like (from eyes very new to Joomla) that this may be a bug.

I didn't see anywhere to report bugs in the forums. Where should that be done?

This may have something to do with FTP credentials. Although there is no ftp login entry on the Global Configuration screens (not that I recall anyway), once I put the ftp credentials in in the Template Manager I have not had the problems again.

Perhaps there is an issue with Joomla reading the ftp login credentials from the database. Why else would we need to put them in again in the Template Manager and why would doing so make a difference in saving the Global Configurations?

I was wrong here. The FTP login credentials DO show on the Global Configuration / System screen. I'm not really sure why though. Why would FTP settings be needed to alter a file already on the server when you are already logged in as the Super Administrator?

Regardless, the problem will show itself if you try and make changes on the Global Configuration screens without entering your FTP credentials.

This is just one of the MANY instances that I have found where Joomla's interface/operations do not seem to follow the flow of most end user's logical thought.

Another is not putting the most important component in Joomla (the Front Page component) in the Component menu. What's up with that?

Is it possible to completely rearrange the Joomla Administration interface via an Administrator's template - or are there odd rules that say that the Front Page component MUST be in the Articles menu?

I've been trying to find somebody that will respond to this problem for awhile now. I've had it come up on a number of the Joomla 1.5 sites I've created and I have no idea what causes it. It's very strange because it seems like sometimes when the problem comes up I can just ignore it and it doesn't seem to cause any problems but then other times it makes it so that any changes I try to make don't write to the database.

Most likely you have a problem with file ownership or permissions.

When you are changing your globals you need to be able to save. If you don't have rights/permisison it won't work.

I would also think that's the problem if it was only for the configuration. But since it happens when changing articles, menu items, templates, and modules it seems to me that it would be something else. In fact with most of my sites that have this problem the error doesn't even come up when changing the configuration, only with the other items I mentioned.

Thanks for the response. If only I could figure this out myself :( .

1. login credentials are in the configuration file not the database

2, .

Superadministrator in Joomla will not make you the owner of your files. Hence you need ftp credentials to be able to save.

I've encountered this error as well when updating Global Config settings (as well as other paces).
I was able to fix this by changing to file permissions on the tmp folder. (...yoursiteroot\tmp).

I am running my site on a windows server and changed the permissions on the tmp folder for internet users to include Modify.

I'm a newbie as well so if there is a better fix, please correct me!

I am getting this. It seems to have started when I was messing around with FastCGI and restarting IIS 6.1, and not logging back into Joomla fresh in between these types of events. Seems like something got out of sync. Though it doesn't ever seem to affect the configuration being saved so I have been ignoring it.

*UPDATE - POSSIBLE FIX*: I stumbled upon a fix. I wanted additional security so I set administrator/index.php to be only accessible to a high-privilege user. However, I noticed that it is not advisable to set this on every file in that folder and subfolders or other errors will occur. As soon as I did this, logged in when prompted by hitting the /administrator folder, and then tried saving something in the Global Configuration the problem went away.

Now that I think about it, it seems to have started after I set the IUSR_MACHINENAME user to have Write access to the configuration.php file, because at some point I wasn't able to save changes due to this, and then the problem started happening. All actions under Administrator are now being done under this elevated user, so it does seem to be a filesystem/permission issue of some kind, not a MySQL issue.

Note: What follows applies to a laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium with IIS7 which is used for development work.

I had the same problem and tracked it down to a file permissions problem on the tmp folder in the top-level directory.

The group and user names on the laptop are:
CREATOR OWNER
SYSTEM
Administrators(...)
Users(...)
IIS_IUsers(...)
Trusted Installer

To fix the issue I gave Users(...) write access to the tmp folder in addition to the inherited 'read and execute', 'list folder contents' and 'read' permissions Users(...) already had.

Off-topic, but I also had to make the same change for configuration.php.

Hope this helps

For me it was a permissions problem and I would guess it would be the same for anybody with this problem. In my case all the cache files were owned by nobody (99 on my server) and in a blank group (99) which didn't allow Joomla to delete them when making changes to an article thus causing it to give a Delete failed error. As soon as I was able to change the ownership permissions back to normal there was no more problem.

I couldn't believe it was such a simple problem that makes so much sense. :-[

I seems to have the same problem except now it doesn's let me edit the config file.

it seems like things are getting saved but the changes don't take effect when it come to the emnus, etc. As far as i can recall mine started acting up after i installed the legacy files for 1.0

It appears that the solution always has something to do with permissions. So if you're having this problem be sure to check all your permissions and talk to your host if you still can't fix it. The error is basically saying that there is a file (in my case a cache file) that the joomla system is trying to delete but is unable to because it does not have the correct file permissions to do so.

Hope that helps.

I removed my /cache/com_content directory and this problem disappeared. I have not testing if caching will work if enable - however - I cannot enable caching because of Captcha forms I use anyway.

-- This took me a while to figure out too!

This is what fixed my issues...

"chmod" all folders under "cache" to 777

This error relates to suPHP and you need to get your host to make sure all folders and file are owned by the correct user and group.

If you are using suPHP you CANNOT use 777 permissions and in fact there is no need too as the web server can now edit your files without needing open permissions.

Excecute the following command on your webroot

Code: Select all

-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 administrator/backups/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 administrator/components/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 administrator/language/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 administrator/language/en-GB
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 administrator/modules/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 administrator/templates/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 components/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 images/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 images/banners/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 images/stories/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 language/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 language/en-GB
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 language/pdf_fonts/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 media/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 modules/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 plugins/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 plugins/content/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 plugins/editors
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 plugins/editors-xtd/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 plugins/search/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 plugins/system/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 plugins/user/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 plugins/xmlrpc/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 templates/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 cache/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 administrator/cache/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 logs/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 tmp/
-bash-3.1$ chmod 777 configuration.php

Then go to TOOLS -> CLEAN CACHE on the administrator site and select all and delete.

The above steps fixed my issue

hey mazemn,
have you given write permission to the cache folder?.

It is only a permission problem.

Give 777 permission to cache folder recursively, and
Then go to TOOLS -> CLEAN CACHE on the administrator site and select all and delete.

it will work. no need to turn off cache

In my case i was unable to Change the permission but i have got below Fix.

I have renamed "Cache" folder to "123Cache"

and created new folder "Cache" and now i am able to Clean Cache.

I hope this will be helpful for them which are unable to change permissions.

Glad to know that I am not the only one in the world getting these problems...

I think I have solution for those Windows Users....

It is a permissions Issue....

1. Make sure that the permissions under the Web App folder is not inheriting from it's parent.

2. When you do check the permissions for [Comp_name]\IUSR_[Comp_name], make sure that the 'Delete' option under special Permissions is NOT 'DENY', please uncheck it..

3. Make sure that these settings are true for all folders under the Joomla App folder, especially the Cache folder and also the \administrator\Cache folder.

This also solved a problem, where the 'configuration.php' or templates\[your template]\params.ini always become 'unwriteable' after making the first change.

Now my site works like a charm.

- Sankar.

I had the same issue

I got mine to go away by changing the permissions on the configuration file from 0666 to 0644
