Friday, August 20th, 2010Running magento commerce 1.3.x in combination with eAccelerator 0.9.6.x gives Strict Notices error Report
Have you seen this Magento Error Report:
Magento Frontend symptoms:
Strict Notice: Only variables should be passed by reference in /var/www/vhosts/khodtech.com/public/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/List/Toolbar.php
It is most likely related directly to running the php opcode caching mechanism implemented by eAccelerator 0.9.6.1.
Magento Frontend Quick fix is to:
in app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/List/Toolbar.php on line 373:
return current(array_keys($this->_availableMode));
replace to:
$arrayKeys = array_keys($this->_availableMode);
return current($arrayKeys);
Magento Backend Quick fix is to:
In lib/Zend/Db/Select.php on line 216 find:
$correlationName = current(array_keys($this->_parts[self::FROM]));
replace to:
$arrayKeys = array_keys($this->_parts[self::FROM]);
$correlationName = current($arrayKeys);
The solution is provided by the fantastic Magento Community

What are the key aspects of the fast magento site ?
- CPU Cores
- Memory
- Fast disc drives
That is possible to get these 3 options, CPU, Memory and disc drives in dedicated servers all over the website and webshop hosting industry. It is indeed also possible to virtualize these elements in just as infinte number of ways.
Virtualization of the hosting environment that magento needs to placed in is a very secure way to experience a slow magento.
What the real key to a succesful fast performance magento are truely and deeply understand the entire application stack under magento. Exactly which parts of which server applications that can be used in the absolutely correct way. To really improve magento performance this is where the key lays. A lot of these settings has been discussed in the Magento Performance Whitepaper. This magento performance white paper is primary focused an Magento Enterprise. But a lot of the settings and observations indeed also apply for the magento community edition.
