Installation

Hi,

I am getting this error message. I am new user and can you please explain what does this error message means.

C:\xampp\htdocs\employees\xataface\install\mainMenu.inc.php on line 1

Is that all the error message says?

Please find the error message:

Oh... it looks like you are using the xataface install utility. Instead of this you should use the webauction install page (not inside the xataface folder). I.e. install.php

Hi Steve.

Could you please be more specific. I ran into the same problem today:

Warning: include(install/install_header.inc.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\apps\xataface-1.2.2\install\mainMenu.inc.php on line 1

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'install/install_header.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:lib') in C:\wamp\apps\xataface-1.2.2\install\mainMenu.inc.php on line 1

I use PHP 5.2.11.

So, what exactly is the webauction install page?

Thanks,

Paul.


P.S

Xataface looks to be a great tool. I've been looking for something like this for the past days.

Sorry, this post shouldn't have been put here but rather in the Xataface Users topic. I don't know what web auction is - I just want to install Xataface. Thanks

Found the problem. I use wampserver in Windows. Therfore it seems that this line:

Code: Select all

ini_set('include_path','.:lib');

should instead be

Code: Select all

ini_set('include_path','.;lib');

I'm not very familiar with PHP but isn't there a way to make this include more general so that it will work on unix/linux as well as on Windows?

Thanks,

Paul.

Thanks for posting this Paul. I'll update the codebase to work with both Windows and LInux/Unix for the next release.

the ; and : problem solved:

$SEP=($_SERVER["WINDIR"] || $_SERVER["windir"]?";":":");
ini_set('include_path','.'.$SEP.'lib');

(on the last version, the problem still occurs)
