0.9.6.1 Installation error - manager (SOLVED) last post

No kidding, (sigh) ... I can change the include_path, but noone has actually told me WHERE I do that?!?

As I said, I am looking for the quick easy solution, but WHERE is the include_path set?

In manager/index.php Andy... but I thought you already modified your version of MODx to do this. This is all likely because your server admin has a php_admin_value include_path set somewhere in your Apache configuration, which prevents you from being able to set the include_path anywhere.

I have this set in my root/etc/php.ini

include_path = ".:"

Should I remove that?

And what should my index.php look like to fix this?

// set some runtime options
$incPath = str_replace("\\","/",dirname(__FILE__)."/includes/"); // Mod by Raymond
if(version_compare(phpversion(), "4.3.0")>=0) {
set_include_path($incPath); // this now works, above code did not?
} else {
ini_set("include_path", $incPath); // include path the old way
}


Do I need to add an absolute path in there or something? I really need to solve this asap as ModX is the best CMS I have trialed over the past two weeks for my clients, and I am ready to roll out a number of sites with it, if I can just get around this hurdle.

All FIXED!

I emailed my host support and they sorted it out based on the information in this thread, they changed the following in the php.ini file:

php.ini

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
;include_path = ".:/php/includes"
;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"

include_path = ".:./includes:../includes:../../includes"

Works good now. Thanks!

For clarification, the problem is not the php.ini include_path, but more likely a php_admin_value in an Apache httpd.conf file which prevents the set_include_path/ini_set from working. If we changed the name of the directory to something other than includes, this rather unorthodox solution would stop working, and I dare say it’s a bit hackish.

Well the issue is that information doesnt seem to be readily available...
