Midgard, MidCOM problems

Hi!

I was quite busy the last few days so I couldn't continue experimenting with 
the server anymore. Today, I tried again. As a reminder, the goal was to 
update from Midcom 1.4 to 2.4. I tried this because staging/live has been 
broken for me since approx. 1.6.2 (repligard does not replicate article_i 
elements, just article elements), so I can edit content on my server again.

What I did was the following:

Remove midgard 1.7rc1

apt-get remove libmidgard

which removed all packages, except for one:

Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 libapache-mod-midgard
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This error has been present for a few versions now, I dont' know if it is 
connected to the current installation

I then installed Midgard from the latest nightly 
(Midgard_AllinOne-1.7rc1_cvs20050707)

there was one warning in midgard-core:

./configure --prefix=/usr

checking for check - version >= 0.8.2... no
*** Could not run check test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for
*** the exact error that occured.
configure: WARNING: Check not found; cannot run unit tests!

except for that, installation went without any problems. Updating the DB with 
datagard worked, too.

I then updated MidCOM to 2.4.2, which went fine as well, except for one error 
when importing the midcom-template-file:

repligard-Message: Making missing GUIDs...
Updating database: version control
ERROR 1146 at line 1: Table 'tmpxmlupdate.quota' doesn't exist
Updating database: quota support

This happens every time I import any package with datagard. I don't know if it 
has any significance

THE CURRENT SITUATION:

staging/live still doesn't work, but I didn't expect it to. 

For new pages, MidCOM 2.4.2 is working, but seems to have layout problems 
although I set the style to midcom-template in Aegir (see attached 
screenshot). I also tried importing layout-table.xml, but "template_Simple 
Table Layout" doesn't show up in Aegir, so I can't try it. 

My old web sites still use 1.4.0 and the wrong midcom_template, but I don't 
really know where or how to change that.

I tried to recompile the php mysql extension, but there are still segfaults in 
phpMyAdmin, but I have the impression that they are fewer than before, and 
they seem to be connected to miidcom-admin now, not to standard cms pages. I 
can investigate further if anyone is interested.

as alwys, any help is greatly appreciated. And needed. I don't know why, but 
the gods of Midgard really seem to hate me :-)


Bye, and a nice weekend to y'all!

Andreas
