Publishing issue RW Classic 9.4.3

[zdenek (ZFP)]

I’m facing a publishing issue for the first time as far as I can remember.
After being off for 5 weeks, I had some updates for CMS, Foundation and RW. After this, I had one page (blog) to refresh and publish. Unfortunately, this publishing does not go to the end. Randomly, some of the files remain not uploaded, and the blog page is blank or just partially displayed (depending on which files have been uploaded).
I have also lost the list of my blog articles on the admin page. I’m not sure if the updates are the origine of this, but I did not anything else.

In the preview mode, I get this error:
Fatal error : Uncaught TypeError: array_slice(): Argument #1 ($array) must be of type array, null given in /private/var/folders/03/p796h58n23vfhl0kvb6ys8mh0000gn/T/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8/RapidWeaverClassic/9560/document-0x7fad1fd08ae0/RWDocumentPagePreview/blog/index.php:2548 Stack trace: #0 /private/var/folders/03/p796h58n23vfhl0kvb6ys8mh0000gn/T/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8/RapidWeaverClassic/9560/document-0x7fad1fd08ae0/RWDocumentPagePreview/blog/index.php(2548): array_slice(NULL, 0, 18) #1 /Applications/RapidWeaver.app/Contents/Resources/RWWebServerLaunch.php(175): include(‘/private/var/fo…’) #2 {main} thrown in /private/var/folders/03/p796h58n23vfhl0kvb6ys8mh0000gn/T/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8/RapidWeaverClassic/9560/document-0x7fad1fd08ae0/RWDocumentPagePreview/blog/index.php on line 2548

My RW version is 9.4.3 and the php 8.4.5, Total CMS v1.13.32 (17377).

I would appreciate any suggestion for this point.

Hi @zdenek,

Sorry to hear you’re having issues. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get you back up and running as soon as possible.

The first thing I’d try is restarting RapidWeaver and then selecting “Re-Publish All Files” from the File menu to see if that resolves the issue.

I’ve also cc’d @joeworkman, as he’s the developer behind Total CMS and Foundation, to see if he’s encountered this issue before.

Fingers crossed the re-publish fixes it

Hi Dan, thank you for your reply, here is an additional information: If I re-install RW version 9.4.0 (also without the CMS and Foundation updates), I’m facing the same issue: the publishing of any page if frozen before the end, so randomly, a part of the files is not published. I will also check with the host tomorrow and revert to you.
It looks like the “FTP door is not completely open” - and I do not understand why

An exemple below

You might want to try lowering the number of connections. Switch it to 1 and see if that helps.

You could also export your entire site locally, then use another FTP client to upload it.

Let me know how you get on trying those!

This problem doesn’t seem to be with RW. According to my host, it’s their security rules that are blocking the FTPS transfer, considering it aggressive. No answer so far as to why this is suddenly happening. I’ve opened a ticket and will keep you posted later.

Additionally: The host proposes to post my site in local mode and then transfert the files via a soft like FileZilla (I don’t use it, but Cyberduck). I’m not sure this would be an option due to a part of my site (Blog) managed by TCMS. The CMS-data folder is not generated in the local post ?!?
@dan - might this be an option or not? My understanding is the during the post, there are some links generated directly between TCMS and the web structure of the site - am I correct?
