Yeah it is kinda super broken. PHP errors

[Wed Nov 26 17:23:31.804543 2025] [php:error] [pid 1339:tid 1339] [client 10.200.6.49:57994] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_magic_quotes_gpc() in /usr/share/solr-php-ui/index.php:896\nStack trace:\n#0 {main}\n  thrown in /usr/share/solr-php-ui/index.php on line 896

Php version is 8 and that function is no longer around. Also is this thing dead?

Hi Findarato,Nope, not dead because of this, its a string function. The error refers only to the Solr Web UI written in PHP. This function has been retired in PHP without replacement. Statements for the DB should be tokenized parametrized. And Outputs should be protected by literating like with htmlspecialchars. For the time being rely on deploying with PHP 7.4, I will browse through the code to refactor to PHP8. Currently i have used this project into Intranets, so not directly exposed to the public. Thanks for bringing it to the attention. Did your Server print more errors on loading the page or is this just it?Thanks, cheerioAndyVon meinem Smartphone gesendetOn 26 Nov 2025, at 18:29, Joseph Harry ***@***.***> wrote:Findarato created an issue (opensemanticsearch/open-semantic-search#486) Yeah it is kinda super broken.

Markus has not resolved any issues here since 2021. This is the first question in twelve months.

I spent a quarter back in 2021 or 2022 learning to build every component by hand. That being said, if you just want to use this system, the older appliance VirtualBox OVA is golden. Most everything works without complaint. I have the OVA, but there are tricks to making it go, it's Debian 10.5 and you'll need some obscure, hard to find .deb files if you have any grief with ssh access. I have those, too. It's also available as a Proxmox qcow2.

You can DM me if you want, but it's been abandonware for years, keeping it running is a labor of love for me.

This is the one you want:

open-semantic-search-vm_21.01.17.ova

SHA2-256(open-semantic-search-vm_21.01.17.ova)= 84938d44137044f7e995f265a85863b4eb871dc4c6db918f67e6a9baf6e3d1cb

If it won't boot reliably, which I encountered with Proxmox, this one will help, put it in CD, must lay hands on the each time to get it to boot.
