# Troubleshooting
**General rewording, proof-reading, deduplication, shortening, reordering, simplification, cleanup/formatting/standardization**
- standardize page names, rework documentation structure, update TOC
- use same example paths everywhere
- level 1 titles on all pages
- fix broken links
- .md suffix on all page links (works both from readthedocs and github repository views)
**Server:**
A full and concise installation guide with examples is a frequent request. The documentation should provide such a guide for basic installation needs, while explaining alternative/advanced configuration at the end. Links to reference guides and documentation should be used more frequently to avoid recommending an outdated or excessively complex configuration.
- server: move most server-related info to server-configuration.md, cleanup/shorten
- server: update list of php dependencies/libraries, link to composer.json
- server: installation: support 3 install methods (from release zip, from sources, using docker)
- server: installation: use rsync instead of mv as mv results will change depending of taget directory already existing or not
- server: add example/basic usage of certbot
- server, upgrade, installation: update file permissions setup, use sudo for upgrade operations in webserver document root
- server: apache: add comments to configuration, fix and factorize file permissions setup, set cache-control header, deny access to dotfiles, add missing apache config steps, add http->https redirect example
- server: nginx: refactor nginx configuration, add comments, DO log access to denied/protected files
- server: add links to MDN for x-forwarded-* http headers explanation, cleanup/clarify robots.txt and crawlers section
- server: bump file upload size limit to 100MB we have reports of bookmark exports weighing +40MB - i have a 13MB one here
- server: simplify phpinfo documentation
- server: move backup and restore information to dedicated page
- docker: move all docker docs to Docker.md, simplify/ docker setup, add docker-compose.yml example, replace docker-101 with docker cheatsheet
- troubleshooting: move all troubleshooting documentation to troubleshooting.md
**Usage:**
- index: add getting started section on index page
- features/usage: move all usage-related documentation to usage.md, add links from the main feature list to corresponding usage docs, clarify/reword features list
- shaarli configuration: add note about configuring from web interface
**Removed:**
- remove obsolete/orphan images
- remove obsolete shaarchiver example
- remove outdated "decode datastore content" snippet
**Development:**
- development: move development-related docs (static analysis, CI, unit tests, 3rd party libs, link structure/directory, guidelines, security....) to dev/ directory
- development: Merge several pages to development.md
- **Breaking change?:** remove mentions of 'stable' branch, switch to new branch/release model (master=latest commit, release=latest tag)
- **Breaking change?:** refer to base sharing unit as "Shaare" everywhere (TODO: reflect changes in the code?) doc: update featues list/link to usage.md for details
- development: directory structure: add note about required file permissions
- .travis-ci.yml: add comments
- .htaccess: add comment

Shaarli relies on `HTTP_REFERER` for some functions (like redirects and clicking on tags). If you have disabled or altered/spoofed [HTTP referers ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer ) in your browser, some features of Shaarli may not work as expected (depending on configuration and installed plugins), notably redirections between pages.
Firefox Referer settings are available by browsing `about:config` and are documented [here ](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Referrer ). `network.http.referer.spoofSource = true` in particular is known to break some functionality in Shaarli.
2020-01-04 00:28:04 +01:00
### Firefox, localhost and redirections
`localhost` is not a proper Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN); if Firefox has been set up to spoof referers, or only accept requests from the same base domain/host,
Shaarli redirections will not work properly. To solve this, assign a local domain to your host, e.g. `localhost.lan` in your [hosts file ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file )) and browse Shaarli at http://localhost.lan/.

## Hosting problems
2017-01-26 18:52:54 +01:00
2015-08-18 00:33:25 +02:00
### Old PHP versions
2017-01-26 18:52:54 +01:00
2020-05-21 13:26:04 +02:00
- On hosts (such as **free.fr** ) which only support PHP 5.6, Shaarli [v0.10.4 ](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases/tag/v0.10.4 ) is the maximum supported version. At the root of your webspace create a `sessions` directory and a `.htaccess` file containing:
2015-07-22 05:02:10 +02:00
2023-09-25 15:16:16 +02:00
```apacheconf
2015-09-04 21:25:47 +02:00
< IfDefine Free >
php56 1
< / IfDefine >
2020-05-21 13:26:04 +02:00
< Files " . ht * " >
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy all
< / Files >
Options -Indexes
2015-07-22 05:02:10 +02:00
```
2020-05-21 13:26:04 +02:00
- If you have an error such as: `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting '(' in /links/index.php on line xxx` , it means that your host is using PHP 4, not PHP 5. Shaarli requires PHP 5.1. Try changing the file extension to `.php5`
2017-08-05 11:56:24 +02:00
- On **1and1** : If you add the link from the page (and not from the bookmarklet), Shaarli will no be able to get the title of the page. You will have to enter it manually. (Because they have disabled the ability to download a file through HTTP).
- If you have the error `Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /…/index.php on line xxx` , it means that your host has disabled the ability to fetch a file by HTTP in the php config (Typically in 1and1 hosting). Bad host. Change host. Or comment the following lines:
2015-07-22 05:02:10 +02:00
```php
//list($status,$headers,$data) = getHTTP($url,4); // Short timeout to keep the application responsive.
2018-02-14 22:02:34 +01:00
// FIXME: Decode charset according to charset specified in either 1) HTTP response headers or 2) < head > in html
2015-07-22 05:02:10 +02:00
//if (strpos($status,'200 OK')) $title=html_extract_title($data);
```
2020-05-21 13:26:04 +02:00
- On hosts (such as **free.fr** ) which forbid outgoing HTTP requests, some thumbnails will not work.
- On hosts (such as **free.fr** ) which limit the number of FTP connections, setup your FTP client accordingly (else some files may be missing after upload).
2017-08-05 11:56:24 +02:00
- On **lost-oasis** , RSS doesn't work correctly, because of this message at the begining of the RSS/ATOM feed : `<? // tout ce qui est charge ici (generalement des includes et require) est charge en permanence. ?>` . To fix this, remove this message from `php-include/prepend.php`
2015-07-22 05:02:10 +02:00
2020-05-21 13:26:04 +02:00
2015-07-22 05:02:10 +02:00
### Dates are not properly formatted
2017-01-26 18:52:54 +01:00
2018-02-14 22:02:34 +01:00
Shaarli tries to sniff the language of the browser (using `HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE` headers)
and choose a date format accordingly. But Shaarli can only use the date formats
(and more generally speaking, the locales) provided by the webserver.
So even if you have a browser in French, you may end up with dates in US format
(it's the case on sebsauvage.net :-( )
2015-07-22 05:02:10 +02:00
### My session expires! I can't stay logged in
2017-01-26 18:52:54 +01:00
2015-07-22 05:02:10 +02:00
This can be caused by several things:
2017-08-05 11:56:24 +02:00
- Your php installation may not have a proper directory setup for session files. (eg. on Free.fr you need to create a `session` directory on the root of your website.) You may need to create the session directory of set it up.
- Most hosts regularly clean the temporary and session directories. Your host may be cleaning those directories too aggressively (eg.OVH hosts), forcing an expire of the session. You may want to set the session directory in your web root. (eg. Create the `sessions` subdirectory and add `ini_set('session.save_path', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../sessions');` . Make sure this directory is not browsable !)
- If your IP address changes during surfing, Shaarli will force expire your session for security reasons (to prevent session cookie hijacking). This can happen when surfing from WiFi or 3G (you may have switched WiFi/3G access point), or in some corporate/university proxies which use load balancing (and may have proxies with several external IP addresses).
- Some browser addons may interfer with HTTP headers (ipfuck/ipflood/GreaseMonkey…). Try disabling those.
- You may be using OperaTurbo or OperaMini, which use their own proxies which may change from time to time.
- If you have another application on the same webserver where Shaarli is installed, these application may forcefully expire php sessions.

### Old apache versions, Internal Server Error
If you hosting provider only provides apache 2.2 and no support for `mod_version` , `.htaccess` files may cause 500 errors (Internal Server Error). See [this workaround ](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/1196#issuecomment-412271085 ).

### Sessions do not seem to work correctly on your server

Follow the instructions in the error message. Make sure you are accessing shaarli via a direct IP address or a proper hostname. If you have **no dots** in the hostname (e.g. `localhost` or `http://my-webserver/shaarli/` ), some browsers will not store cookies at all (this respects the [HTTP cookie specification ](https://curl.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html )).

### Error 406 "Not acceptable"
2021-04-12 21:03:43 +02:00
2021-04-12 21:05:21 +02:00
If attempting to save a link results in a `Not acceptable` error (HTTP status code of `406` ), it is likely due to strict settings for `mod_security` (a module used with Apache). This cannot be mitigated by reconfiguring Shaarli itself, and must be dealt with at the level of the underlying web server instead.
2021-04-12 21:03:43 +02:00
On some shared hosting services (such as **Bluehost** ), `mod_security` is enabled by default, so the recommended course of action is to get in touch with the helpdesk and ask them to disable `mod_security` for your domain, sub-domain, or the subdirectory where Shaarli is installed. Ideally, you want to narrow it down to a very specific location, so as to continue reaping the benefits of `mod_security` elsewhere on your domain. If asked for specific, you can refer support staff to this [issue ](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/1736 ), where more technical details are available.

### Timeout during long-lasting operations
You may need to adjust timeouts to larger values in your [reverse proxy configuration ](Reverse-proxy.md ) if you're getting `504 Gateway Timeout` errors during long-lasting operations (like importing many bookmarks from HTML, or batch deleting tags) on slow hardware. The PHP setting `max_execution_time` may also need to be adjusted for your specific setup. See issues [#1854 ](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/1854 ) and [#1910 ](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/1910 ).

----------------------------------------------------------
## Upgrades
### You must specify an integer as a key
In `v0.8.1` we changed how Shaare keys are handled (from timestamps to incremental integers). Take a look at `data/updates.txt` content.
### `updates.txt` contains `updateMethodDatastoreIds`
Try to delete it and refresh your page while being logged in.
### `updates.txt` doesn't exist or doesn't contain `updateMethodDatastoreIds`
1. Create `data/updates.txt` if it doesn't exist
2. Paste this string in the update file `;updateMethodRenameDashTags;`
3. Login to Shaarli
4. Delete the update file
5. Refresh
--------------------------------------------------------
## Import/export
### Importing shaarli data to Firefox
- In Firefox, open the bookmark manager (`Bookmarks menu > Show all bookmarks` or `Ctrl+Shift+B` ), select `Import and Backup > Import bookmarks in HTML format`
- Make sure the `Prepend note permalinks with this Shaarli instance's URL` box is checked when exporting, so that text-only/notes Shaares still point to the Shaarli instance you exported them from.
- Depending on the number of bookmarks, the import can take some time.

### Diigo
If you export your bookmark from Diigo, make sure you use the Delicious export, not the Netscape export. (Their Netscape export is broken, and they don't seem to be interested in fixing it.)

### Scuttle
Shaarli cannot import data directly from [Scuttle ](https://github.com/scronide/scuttle ).
However, you can use the third-party [scuttle-to-shaarli ](https://github.com/q2apro/scuttle-to-shaarli )
tool to export the Scuttle database to the Netscape HTML format compatible with the Shaarli importer.
### Refind.com
You can use the third-party tool [Derefind ](https://github.com/ShawnPConroy/Derefind ) to convert refind.com bookmark exports to a format that can be imported into Shaarli.

Under Opera, you can't drag'n drop the button: You have to right-click on it and add a bookmark to your personal toolbar.
### Changing the timestamp for a shaare
- Look for `<input type="hidden" name="lf_linkdate" value="{$link.linkdate}">` in `tpl/editlink.tpl` (line 14)
- Replace `type="hidden"` with `type="text"` from this line
- A new date/time field becomes available in the edit/new Shaare dialog.
- You can set the timestamp manually by entering it in the format `YYYMMDD_HHMMS` .

### Clearing Shaarli caches
For debugging purposes:
```bash
# clear raintpl cache and temporary files
find /var/www/links/cache/ /var/www/links/pagecache/ /var/www/links/tmp/ -type f -exec rm -v '{}' \;
# if you have a php accelerator such as php-apcu, restart the webserver
sudo systemctl restart apache2
