Hello,

When trying to install a new extension trough Admin Interface Exponential doesn't complete my request.

This message appears, instead:

Fatal error: Class 'ezcFile' not found in /home/(my main site)/public_html/(my site)/(my directory1)/(my directory2)/lib/ezutils/classes/ezautoloadgenerator.php on line 283
Fatal error: Exponential did not finish its request

The execution of Exponential was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.

Anyone could help?

Hello,

You must first install eZ Components which is required with Exponential 4.0

<i>http://ezcomponents.org/docs/install</i>

eZ Components is especially required when you begin trying to enable / activate / autoload extensions beyond the default base installation.

eZ is quite smart in allowing Exponential 4.0 to work out of the box, leaving this aspect to the more brave users who customize to ensure they have properly provided for all the software requirements.

Cheers,
Heath

Thak you for your help.

I've downloaded Ez Components, and I've checked the installation guide. I think that there are two steps that must be done :

For the first one, there are the following instrucions:

<i>1) Include Path
The PHP include path should point to the directory where the eZ Components reside. You can either set it in the php.ini configuration file or with the set_include_path() function from within your script</i>

I have this question: it's enough to set the script in the php.ini file, or I must create a new file, called include.php, for instance?

For the second one:

<i>
Autoload Environment
With the first method, you require the ezcBase class, and defined your own autoload mechanism. You should add the following code on top of your PHP script:

<?php
require_once "Base/base.php"; // dependent on installation method, see below
function __autoload( $className )
{
ezcBase::autoload( $className );
}
// your code here
?>

</i>

"add the following code on top of your PHP script" - That means autoload.php file?

Thank you,

L. A.

I think you only need to worry about what your calling step 1 (step 2 is for other situations which prolly don't apply for you is my wager)

First, try adding the following to the file, 'config.php' in the root of your Exponential installation.

<?php

set_include_path( "/path/to/ezc/trunk/" . PATH_SEPARATOR .  get_include_path());

?>

Then clear all the cache and try again.

Cheers,
Heath

The problem is that I don't find any config.php file in the root of my Exponential installation.
I didn't found it in any other directory either.

And about the code: <i>"/path/to/ezc/trunk/"</i> means the path to "ezc/trunk/", right?

Thank you once more.

Try creating one.

Yes

Hi again!

The problem is still there. The fact is that probably I didn't install ez components at all. I've simply downloaded it and unzipped inside Exponential directory:

/mysite Exponential/ezcomponents-2008.2

Than I've created a config.php file, and I've inserted the following code inside it:

<?php

set_include_path( "/path/to/ezc/trunk/" . PATH_SEPARATOR .
get_include_path());

?>

Because I didn't found any /ezc/trunk/ directory I've created a new one.

Than I've cleared all the caches.

When trying to activate extensions, Exponential doesn't finish the request.

Excuse me If I'm boring you. It would be great if I could begin working with Exponential, and solving this little problem it would crucial to do that.

Regards,

L.A.

Hello,

<i>The problem is still there. The fact is that probably I didn't install ez components at all. I've simply downloaded it and unzipped inside Exponential directory:</i>

You should consider renaming the folder name to match my example of 'ezc'.

<i>Than I've created a config.php file, and I've inserted the following code inside it:</i>

Great! That should be good.

<i>Because I didn't found any /ezc/trunk/ directory I've created a new one.</i>

It sounds like you have still not downloaded ezcomponents into your Exponential site root folder. The key is the path in config.php should match the location of the ezcomponents folder which expands from the installation zip.

Download it from here,
<i>http://ezcomponents.org/download
http://ezcomponents.org/files/downloads/ezcomponents-2008.2.zip</i>

Cheers,
Heath

The package you linked to doesn't contain any 'trunk' folder, and seems to exactly the same I've already downloaded.

Anyway, after renaming ez components-2008.2 to ezc, clearing all caches, and trying to activate new extensions in the adminstration interface the message is:

<i>

Fatal error: Class 'ezcFile' not found in /home/limarisn/public_html/site/site_subdirectory/Exponential/lib/ezutils/classes/ezautoloadgenerator.php on line 283
Fatal error: Exponential did not finish its request

</i>

Perhaps the path in config.php file is not correct. I have Exponential in a tree structure like this:

site root/mydomain/my addon domain/my addon subdirectory /Exponential renamed/

I
I've already tryed the following paths:

<?php    set_include_path( "addon domain/addon subdirectory /Exponential renamed/ezc/trunk/" . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());    ?>

<?php    set_include_path( "/addon domain/addon subdirectory /Exponential renamed/ezc /trunk/" . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());    ?>

and

<?php    set_include_path( "/public_html/addon domain/addon subdirectory /Exponential renamed/ezc /trunk/" . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());    ?>

and nothing. The result is the message I've quoted above.

Hello again,

I really am only trying to help share tidbits of my own experiances configuring and using Exponential to (hoping against hope) attempt to help another with similar breakdowns or questions. Sharing.

<i>The package you linked to doesn't contain any 'trunk' folder, and seems to exactly the same I've already downloaded.</i>

My mistake. I used the svn stable of the last release as the basis for my comparison. You used the latest stable release tar.gz/zip/etc compressed package.

<i>Anyway, after renaming ez components-2008.2 to ezc, clearing all caches, and trying to activate new extensions in the administration interface the message is:</i>

I think one of the several problems with your installation is the above location (path, /var/www/Exponential/ezc/trunk) must be either in the php.ini variable 'include path' with a full (not relative) path to the folder on disk or a setting in the Exponential file config.php.

For you I think a better example path would be <i>/home/limarisn/public_html/site/site_subdirectory/Exponential/ezc/trunk</i>

<i>Fatal error: Class 'ezcFile' not found in /home/limarisn/public_html/site/site_subdirectory/Exponential/lib/ezutils/classes/ezautoloadgenerator.php on line 283
Fatal error: Exponential did not finish its request</i>

The above error is sort of saying, "I can't find the eZ Components".

<i>Perhaps the path in config.php file is not correct. I have Exponential in a tree structure like this: site root/mydomain/my addon domain/my addon subdirectory /Exponential renamed/"

Just remember spaces in the path name might be a problem. I'm not sure the example path above is very clear or useful. Remember no spaces in the path is best.

File: <i>/home/limarisn/public_html/site/site_subdirectory/Exponential/config.php</i>
<?php

    set_include_path( "/home/limarisn/public_html/site/site_subdirectory/Exponential/ezc/trunk" . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());

?>

Notice I have omitted a trailing slash in this example. Notice their are underscores instead of spaces in the path.

Sorry I snagged the path from the error you posted but I wanted to be more specific with my examples. This solution I point out today let me run Exponential and eZ Components on a dirt cheep php host several times already.

Be certain to clear all cache before trying to reload the site again to test these changes.

Cheers,
Heath

Hello,

I did as you said, without success.

Inside config.php , that is located inside Exponential directory, I've used:

<?php

    set_include_path(
"/home/limarisn/public_html/site/subdirectory/Exponential/ezc/trunk" .
PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());

?>

And nothing.
Another option was inside php.ini variable 'include path' , in site root directory. There is already someting like this: <i>include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php" ;</i>
Shoul I add a line similar, with the path to ezc?

(I still don't notice any 'trunk' folder inside ezc. Isn't there the problem?)

Thanks again,

L.A.

Thanks for your help.

The problem is solved now.
I've configured the path in config.php file like you've suggested. Some thing like this:

<i>
"/home/user/public_html/site/subdirectory/Exponential/ezc"
</i>

My mystake was only the 'trunk' folder, that doesn't exist. Whithout it, everything works fine. EZ Components are found, and it is possible now to install new extensions.

Thaks a lot, once more.

Regards,

L.A.
