I have a customer who has been using the calendarscript for about 2 - 3 monthis without issue.  He contacted me today saying that he is getting the following error when he tries to login to the admin section:

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

Can't call method "get" on an undefined value at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\calendar\calendar.pl line 469.

Any suggestions?

Has anything changed on the server recently?

Have you checked file and directory permissions?

** Can't call method "get" on an undefined value at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\calendar\calendar.pl line 469. **

If they're using CalendarScript version 3.2 (the current version) that error message is referring to the following line of the calendar.pl file:

$localtime_offset = 3600*$Config->get("time_zone_offset");

All the script is doing is attempting to access a variable stored in the config.txt file. Maybe its permissions have changed (for some reason) and the script is unable to access it?

A change in the permissions was my thought.   I am going to be speaking to our client on Monday.   I will see if he changed the directories permissions.

mphacker,

Are you the host?

If not, hosts frequently make changes to the server setting and/or scripts which run on it and can wreak havoc on permissions settings. Their support sometimes doesn't know or won't say (for whatever reason) if such changes have taken place. I experienced that myself.

Nope, we are not hosting the script.  It is running on our clients dedicated webserver.

The client has configured many different calendars and each of them has a config.txt that looks good.   The permissions on them are set so everyone has full control.   I am still digging to see what I can come up with.   Any other ideas?

I think I found the error.  Instead of trying to login using the link from calendar.pl I went directly into calendar_admin.pl and got an error that said that c:\inetpub\wwwroot\calendar\calendarscript\session was not a directory.   I took a look and that directory was missing.   I created it and now everything seems to be back working as normal.    I am going to do a bit of testing to make sure.   I will make another post here if it does not solve the problem.
