Troubleshooting

This page will list all the common technical problems you can run into.


Dolibarr ask my login or password each time I click on a new link

You PHP system to store Dolibarr session is probably no more working.

Go into home - system info - php

What value do you have for parameter "session.save_handler" ?

If it is files, take a look at parameter "session.save_path". Its value is a directory path. Check your web server can read and write into this directory. Check also there is enough free space onto disk.

I can't approve a proposal/invoice/order/any other module

When you approve a document, Dolibarr will rename the folders and all the documents that belonged to the temporary document into the final one.

In most cases, the validation problems arise when Dolibarr tries to rename, and can be caused by:

  • A wrong permission for the /documents/ folder, so that Dolibarr can't rename the folder. If that's the case, you should have in your syslog something like:
ERROR 127.0.0.1 user fiche Interfaces::run_triggers action=ORDER_SUPPLIER_VALIDATE Files found: 6, Files launched: 5, Done: 0, Failed: 1
ERROR 127.0.0.1 user fiche CommandeFournisseur::valid 
DEBUG 127.0.0.1 user fiche ROLLBACK Transaction
  • A wrong custom numerotation system: if you use illegal characters for the filesystem (like "/"), this will crash whenever you'll try to validate your document since it won't be able to use this illegal character in the renaming. Try to disable your current custom numerotation system and enable the default one temporarily to see if this fixes the issue.

I encounter a DB_ERROR message

I can't upload files

This section needs more informations.

Depending of your configuration, if you encounter the error 

Warning: tempnam(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(C:\WINDOWS\TEMP) is not within the allowed path(s): (c:/dolibarr) in C:\dolibarr\www\dolibarr\htdocs\core\modules\import\import_xlsx.modules.php on line 182

You will have to edit the php.ini Find the directive upload_tmp_dir: uncomment the line and change its value to a required path. In this example it is "/var/tmp": 

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
; http://php.net/upload-tmp-dir
upload_tmp_dir = /var/tmp

Additionally for PHP versions 5.5 and greater, find the directive sys_temp_dir: uncomment the line and change its value to a required path. In this example, it is "/var/tmp": 

; Directory where the temporary files should be placed.
; Defaults to the system default (see sys_get_temp_dir)
sys_temp_dir = "/var/tmp"

And in Vhosts 

open_basedir = {WEBSPACEROOT}{/}{:}{TMP}{/}:/var/tmp

My problem is not in the list

Getting debug information

Dolibarr has a system to record logs of what it does and which errors occur. If you run into a problem, the first step is to activate the Log Debug module, then redo the steps that leads you to a bug, and then check the log file residing at /documents/dolibarr.log

Your web server has also error logging feature. See Log Debug.
