XF 2.0 Can't get debug mode working to edit crons

[djbaxter]

On two other forums, I just added this to the end of the config.php file:

// need debug = true for editing some cron jobs and some other features
$config['debug'] = true;

and that would unlock debug mode.

I'm trying to do that on a third forum (new install) now but that isn't working.

Version is 2.0.12.

Here's the config.php file (with sensitive info blocked out of course):

<?php

$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['port'] = '3306';
$config['db']['username'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxx';
$config['db']['password'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxx';
$config['db']['dbname'] = 'xxxxxxxxxx';

$config['superAdmins'] = '1';

// need debug = true for editing some cron jobs and some other features
$config['debug'] = true;

Why isn't this working?

Are you sure you are editing src/config.php not library/config.php?

 

[djbaxter]

Yes. Editing src/config.php

I might be mistaken, but I don't think you can edit the cron times in XenForo 2.0, if that's what you're trying to do.

 

[djbaxter]

Yes you can. It works on two other XF2.0.12 forums if you enable debug mode.

The problem is that for this particular installation, I can't seem to get into debug mode.

 

[SneakyDave]

Are you using a cache that might require a web server restart for changes to take affect?

 

[djbaxter]

No. It's on shared hosting. In the root folder is a Worpress site that uses a caching plugin but just in case I cleared that. The forum is in a subfolder /forum/. No caching used on the forum yet.

My editor was messing up the line feeds in the config.php file.

Yes you can. It works on two other XF2.0.12 forums if you enable debug mode.

FWIW I believe this will be reverted if you upgrade XenForo or the add-on that created this cron job, so enabling debug mode to edit them isn't really a viable long term solution. You'd probably be better off disabling the cron entry and creating a new one.

I think you've tagged the wrong person, I don't recall this

 

[djbaxter]

Oh. It was Jake Bunce. I assumed that was you.
