Warnings in prod.log on Fresh SuiteCRM v8.8.0 Install

Hi all,

I’ve just installed a fresh instance of SuiteCRM v8.8.0, and during initial testing, I’m reviewing the /logs/prod.log file. While the system appears to work generally well, I’ve noticed a couple of recurring warnings/errors that I’d like to clean up if possible.

Warning #1: PHP Array Offset on Null

[2025-04-18 07:28:59] php.WARNING: Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null {"exception":"[object] (ErrorException(code: 0): Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null at /home/crmsystem/html/public/legacy/modules/Users/authentication/SugarAuthenticate/SugarAuthenticate.php:539)"}

This seems related to a null value in the user authentication module, possibly due to a missing session value or login attempt with an unexpected state.

Warning #2: Invalid CSRF Token

[2025-04-18 07:57:33] request.ERROR: Uncaught PHP Exception Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\AccessDeniedHttpException: "Invalid CSRF token" at CSRFValidationListener.php line 95

This occurs intermittently and may be tied to expired sessions, form reloads, or navigating between modules in separate browser tabs.

Q1: Are these warnings considered normal in a default SuiteCRM 8.8.0 installation, or are they symptoms of a misconfiguration?

Q2: Is there a known fix or recommended mitigation for either issue?

Q3: Could these be related to permissions, session handling, or environment variables (e.g., caching, CSRF/session timeout)?

Let me know if I should provide additional configuration info (e.g., PHP version, environment setup). I’d really like to understand if these are benign or worth fixing proactively.

You need to set error_reporting in your php.ini file.

Restart server!

INFO:

Well, on by default: error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT and nothing is shown in the log.

That’s good! we don’t need to worry about warnings :warning:

Changed the log level to error to see if it shows a bit more.

Lol, that generated a bit of errors; not really what I expected; what on earth is going on here?

As mentioned I’ve performed a fresh installation of SuiteCRM v8.8.0 and not an upgrade, hence why a bit surprised to see so much errors, and most likely maybe nothing to worry about. But, I’m just put together seeing extensive error messages in a log, kind of itches and won’t go away by ignoring it. Log evel info, sure I get the various levels that you point to in #1 and #2 was talking about debug and logging with regards to upgrade, which isn’t what I’ve done.

Anyway, moving forward I ran 1) Quick Repair and Rebuild and then next 2) Rebuild Relationships, which got the errors down to the following:

Sat Apr 19 2025 at 09:43:07 [197012][1][ERROR] Unable to find relationship projects_contacts_resources
Sat Apr 19 2025 at 09:43:07 [197012][1][ERROR] Unable to find relationship am_projecttemplates_contacts_resources

So a big improvement. But, the big Question is why are we seeing these errors in a new scratch installation of SuiteCRM v8.8.0 and how to fully mitigate it?
