Xataface Forums

Hi Steve,

I am a newbie so bear with me. I installed xataface-1.2.5 on wamp server 2.0i and everything seems fine:

Opening http://localhost/dataface/dataface_info.php shows:
===============
Dataface 1.2.5 1870
Installed at /dataface

Installation status INSTALLED CORRECTLY
Templates Dir C:\wamp\www\dataface/Dataface/templates
Templates Compile Dir C:\wamp\www\dataface/Dataface/templates_c
===============

However, when I open http://localhost/FacultyOfWidgetry/ I got this:

===============
display(); // display the application $time = microtime(true) - $time; echo "

Execution Time: $time
"; ?>
===============

The content of my c:\wamp\www\FacultyOfWidgetry\index.php is:

===============
<?
/**
* File: index.php
* Description:
* -------------
*
* This is an entry file for this Dataface Application. To use your application
* simply point your web browser to this file.
*/
$time = microtime(true);
// use the timer to time how long it takes to generate a page
require_once 'c:/wamp/www/dataface/dataface-public-api.php';
// include the initialization file
df_init(__FILE__, 'http://localhost/dataface');
// initialize the site

$app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
// get an application instance and perform initialization
$app->display();
// display the application


$time = microtime(true) - $time;
echo "<p>Execution Time: $time</p>";
?>
===============

The content of my c:\wamp\www\FacultyOfWidgetry\index.php is:

===============
[_database]
host = "localhost"
user = "root"
password = ""
name = "FacultyOfWidgetry"

[_tables]
Course = "Course"
Program = "Program"
===============

Can you please tell me what I did wrong or did not do? Thank you very much.

Regards,
Don

The source for the faculty of widgetry sample apparently uses the old short open tags. You need to change all open tags from

Code: Select all

<?


to

Code: Select all

<?php


Alternatively you could just enable short_open_tags in your php.ini file.

Much appreciated. Thanks, Steve.
