Can't add fields in Module Builder

[hiedenm]

vardefs.php gets written twice when I try to save a new field in Module Builder. First time it's correct, the second time the new field is missing.

Order of file writes after hitting the Save button:
---------------------
1: cache/modules/ModuleBuilder/Uservardefs.php
2: cache/modules/Users/Uservardefs.php
3: cache/modules/ModuleBuilder/EmailAddressvardefs.php
4: cache/modules/EmailAddresses/EmailAddressvardefs.php
5: cache/modules/ModuleBuilder/Administrationvardefs.php
6: cache/modules/Administration/Administrationvardefs.php
7: custom/modulebuilder/packages/WBCRM/modules/haus/vardefs.php
8: custom/modulebuilder/packages/WBCRM/modules/haus/config.php
9: custom/modulebuilder/packages/WBCRM/modules/haus/vardefs.php
10: custom/modulebuilder/packages/WBCRM/modules/haus/relationships.php
11: custom/modulebuilder/packages/WBCRM/modules/haus/language/en_us.lang.php
12: custom/modulebuilder/packages/WBCRM/modules/haus/language/ge_ge.lang.php

I'm running SugarCRM 5.2.0a CE on i5/OS V5R4 with ZendCore 2.6 (Apache 2.2.6 PHP 5.2.6) and MySQL 5.0.45

Check your webserver error log; see if you are getting a POST error complaining about variable limit exceeded. I had this happen to me a couple of days ago

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately there seems to be no problem with the variable limit as my logs shows no POST errors.

Found out more about the problem. The problem is in modules/ModuleBuilder/MB/MBVardefs.php

     function load(){
        $this->vardef = array('fields'=>array(), 'relationships'=>array());
        if(file_exists($this->path . '/vardefs.php')){
            include($this->path. '/vardefs.php');
            $this->vardef = $vardefs;
        }
    } 
  

The vardefs.php has the right contents after the first write but doesn't get read properly the second time. The problem is within the include function. It seems, it doesn't give back the file but something from the cache. So $vardefs doesn't contain the new field and therefore it isn't in the file after the second writing.

So my guess is that the actual error is somewhere in my configuration. I'm also running Zend Platform which includes the Accelerator cache. Or is there a possibility that it misconfigured the php.ini? Or am I completely wrong?

Zend Accelerator was causing the troubles. Since blacklisting the custom/ModuleBuilder directory, it's working like a charm.

I almost threw my machine out the window. Thank you for posting that solution.
