Can't generate report

Unread post by jmusther »

Hi,
I'm just learning to use nuBuilder, and I'm having trouble creating a report. I've added an activity as a report and an trying to get my php code to work properly. Because I couldn't get it to work, I've simplified and simplified to try to get the hang of it, so now I have this code:

Code: Select all

$sql  = "CREATE TABLE $dataTable SELECT * FROM orders ";
$sql .= "JOIN customer ON orders.customerid=customer.id ";
$sql .= "WHERE orderid = 3";

nuRunQuery($sql);
And it isn't working. I get an SQL error when I try to run the activity, and it shows me this SQL:

Code: Select all

SELECT ``.* FROM `` WHERE = '150fdfe55007c0'
Note that the documentation says the #dataTable# should be used, but the included examples show $dataTable. I've tried both anyway, and get the same result.
If somebody could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

Just to elaborate further, the above is when I run the activity with no criteria form specified. When I specify a form, and then click one of the action buttons (e.g. print to screen) I get a 500 Internal Sever Error:

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.
http://localhost:8888/productionnu2/run ... receiptrpt

jmusther,

1 - you put a nuDebug($sql) before nuRunQuery() function, so you can see in Setup > Debug the real SQL sentence;
2 - about $dataTable: have you read this post? http://forums.nubuilder.cloud/viewtopic.p ... ble#p11038;
3 - you can use a INNER JOIN or LEFT JOIN in SQL.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Max,

It turns out the problem was my environment. I was running nuBuilder on MAMP (version 2.1.1). There must be something configured in MAMP which breaks reports. Ultimately, a system containing working reports doesn't work on MAMP. If you try to load a report, you get an error 500. Perhaps this is something which should be looked into?

I don't have a solution, I've migrated my nuBuilder sandbox to a linux server and all is well now.

jmusther,

I don't know MAMP but, maybe, more resource are necessary: try to insert this in .htacces file in your project folder, or modify the php.ini file in MAMP installation:

Code: Select all

php_value max_input_vars 8000
php_value post_max_size 16M
php-value max_execution_time 600
php_value memory_limit 512M
php_value magic_quotes_gpc Off

Hi Max,

I've updated php.ini and restarted the web server. But unfortunately in MAMP I still can't get a report to work. I still get the 500 server error immediately after clicking the button. I don't think it's a timeout or memory size issue, simply because the 500 error pops up immediately.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but it would be nice to be able to track it down.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Here are the log entries from when I tried to run the report. There are plenty of warnings, but note the fatal error at the end.

Try commenting out the definition of hex2bin() at report_object.php line 240.

It confirms the problem is in your local installation.

Have you a document root like: localhost/~<username>/sitename ? The '~' character create a problem in encode/decode functions.
If so, you need to set up a virtualhost for your site to skip the '~' character.
