Code on 32 bit arch (and other stuff).
Hi everyone! I'm Frank and I'm in charge of the DJ code upgrade from old LJ -> DW. If you get tired of my dev posting just holler and I'll move everything over to zilla. Yes, I am the guy who started/ran-forever DeadJournal.
I just got a snapshot of the old DJ database up and runnning on the DW code. Ran update-db.pl (that script gives me heartburn like you would never believe). All db modifications/changes and theme population etc ran without error.
This is a standard debian etch install. Nothing special about it.
Going to a journal brings up the journal/theme/userpic/etc (hooray). However clicking to view comments gives me a 500 error with the following in the error log:
[Mon Aug 17 21:49:44 2009] [error] [client 10.172.20.254] Invalid type 'Q' in pack at /home/dj/cgi-bin/LJ/Entry.pm line 1492.\n, referer: http://scsi.dj.dmz.vadept.com/
Line 1492 (when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, or mid-way through get_log2_row) reads:
# note: this cannot distinguish between security == private and security == usemask with allowmask == 0 (no groups)
# both should have the same display behavior, but we don't store the security value in memcache
$row = pack("NNNQN", $item->{'posterid'}, $eventtime, $logtime, $sec,
$item->{'ditemid'});
As far as I can read, Q is 64-bit arch only, which my test server is not. http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/pack.html
Changing that Q to an N makes it work (although it doesn't bring up any titles in the comments, and the update-db.pl script was complaining about unknown table logsubject2) however it makes apache segfault almost continuously.
This "Q" pack is in multiple places in Entry.pm from posting to viewing, etc. Maybe a config option for 64 vs 32 bit archs? Am I in left field?
