BambooInvoice Forums

Hello,

I have changed the 2 specified configuration files in the setup instructions but I receive the following error when I attempt to navigate to http://www.mysite.com/bambooinvoice/index.php:

BambooInvoice requires PHP version 5 or higher. After you have satisfied this, you can try re-installing.

Can someone please help me with this?

I would really like to get this application up and running as this would help my business very much.  Thanks for any help in advance.

Regards,
CaveMan

Hi Caveman.

Is this a professionally hosted website?  The fastest resolution would be to ask your host to move you up to PHP 5.

Thanks Derek.

I have contacted my hosting company in hopes that they can upgrade me to a higher version of PHP at no cost

Good stuff.  I’d be shocked if they charged you caveman, and if they do want money, walk to another host.  PHP 4 was end of life’ed almost a year ago.

Hey Derek,

Done and done...I am going to now test bamboo again and see where I get today...I might be back with some issue(s) I can resolve on my own.

I am up and running...so far so good...no errors to my knowledge.  Thanks Derek for your help.

Glad to hear it sir!

Wow...I hope this isn’t a sign, but I just setup my personal settings within bamboo invoice and logged out and went to log back in and I get this error now:

Fatal error: Call to a member function num_rows() on a non-object in /home/.absconds/area_geek/geekeaters.com/bambooinvoice/bamboo_system_files/libraries/Session.php on line 261

My guess is you have an old config.  Open /application/config/config.php and set

also, make sure log_threshold is at 0.

In fact, if you’re starting with a fresh install, you’re probably best off to restart with all new files, including config/config.php and config/database.php.  This means you’ll need to re-enter some information.

Alright so the error is caused by me changing $config[’sess_use_database’] = TRUE to FALSE in the config.php file.

I originally made the change to TRUE as suggested in the ‘making bambooinvoice more secure’ section.

If a session was in the middle of being used (ie: you were logged in) then it would have gotten “out of sync” and would cause that error.

Sessions persist for some time.  What you could do, is next time you’re done with BI, logout.  Then before you login the next time, change that setting.  The theory is that no sessions will be “in use” and it shouldn’t cause a problem.

Alright I changed that variable to FALSE and I no longer receive this error message anymore.

Back again Derek,

I just attempted to create a new invoice and after entering in the information I clicked on create invoice and received the following error(s):

If you logout, are you able to login?

Do you have access to PHPmyAdmin?  Can you tell what tables are in your database?

Alright so I can login and logout with no issues…

The tables in my BI database are:

bamboo_clientcontacts
bamboo_clients
bamboo_invoices
bamboo_invoice_histories
bamboo_invoice_items
bamboo_invoice_payments
bamboo_sessions
bamboo_settings
