resolved: undefined LoggerManager::getloggerrepository()

I got

Fatal error: Call to undefined method LoggerManager::getloggerrepository() in /srv/www/htdocs/SugarCRM/log4php/LoggerPropertyConfigurator.php on line 120

when trying to upgrade from 5.0.0i to 5.1.0b.

Reason were some older modules using a now outdated logging mechanism, while
the logging mechanisms received an update (BUMM).
I resolved the issue by commenting the following 5 lines in include/logging.php:

 if (! isset($simple_log) || $simple_log == false) { 
$config = new LoggerPropertyConfigurator(); 
$config->configure('log4php.properties'); 
} 
  

(The cleaner way would be to set $simple_log to something like true, but I did not take the time
to find out, how to do that).

This way I could upgrade without further problems and the module loader worked
for me, so I could upgrade the outdated modules as well.

Good luck I had a Xen VM to spare for this upgrade, so I was the only one, who invested time into this.

I hope this saves you some time
(the upgrade ruined a whole working day for me, just because the old modules wanted to have their log configured
and it was not just ZuckerReports in my case, but Queues and Rules used include/logging.php as well).

Regards,

Heiner

This thread seems long-dead, but it's worth noting that this fix still works for old Sugar instances, particularly if an old version of Zucker is lingering around.

Re-blogged and bumping to give the OP his due credit.

It would be good for Sugar CE to start using PHP Interfaces - this is so that, when new mechanisms come into play, and older code gets obsolete, this can provide forward compatibility to the older code - so it won't just break like that, and ruin days of productivity for millions of people around the world. It needs to just work.
