magento

I am currently setting a Magento v1.7 ecommerce store on nginx with PHP 5.4. I have been monitoring the Magento store for errors and have been getting a few of them. I wanted to make a list of the errors that I am getting with the fixes. I hope these fixes will help other. And of course, please comment if you have a few to add to the list or if the fix on the post is not correct.

ERR (3): Warning: Illegal string offset 'value'  in /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/System/Config/Form/Field.php on line 111

I have been getting the above error in saving configuration in backend.
Fix:
Replace at line 111:

} elseif ($v['value']==$defText) {
    $defTextArr[] = $v['label'];
    break;
}

To:

} elseif (isset($v['value'])) {
    if ($v['value']==$defText) {
        $defTextArr[] = $v['label'];
        break;
    }
}

If you have problem with Magento not generating PDF form invoice or anything PDF related.
You may need to open up: /lib/Zend/Pdf/FileParserDataSource.php
and comment out:

//abstract public function __construct();
//abstract public function __destruct();

Check out page problems with Log in and quantity updates.
By inserting:

<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>

Right after:

<form id="login-form">

You may need to use grepWin to search for the location with the error, your theme may vary.

# /etc/php.ini upload_max_filesize= 5M post_max_size = 10M #Usually double the "upload_max_filesize max_input_time = 100 #This one set the time spend for the php service to get your file before it closes its connection with you. It is better to set a higher number if you upload large size files. I set mine to 100 seconds, it should be enough time for me to upload a 5MB file. # one of your nginx *.conf that contains your domain config # /etc/nginx/conf.d/virtual.conf # add the code below within server {} client_max_body_size 5m;
