Need help sorting out some errors in error.log

Here’s the first one:

[2011-05-30 23:20:55] (ERROR @ /home/moaustin/public_html/core/cache/includes/elements/modplugin/1.include.cache.php : 7) PHP warning: include() [<a href=’function.include’>function.include</a>]: Failed opening ’/assets/plugins/gateway.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’)


<b>Strict Standards</b>: strftime() [<a href=’function.strftime’>function.strftime</a>]: It is not safe to rely on the system’s timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected ’America/Chicago’ for ’CDT/-5.0/DST’ instead in <b>/home/moaustin/public_html/core/xpdo/xpdo.class.php</b> on line <b>1630</b>


Now there is a plugin called "gateway" which contains this code:


The error seems to be related to including the external php file.
The next error in the log is:

[2011-05-30 23:21:10] (ERROR @ /home/moaustin/public_html/core/cache/includes/elements/modplugin/1.include.cache.php : 7) PHP warning: include() [<a href=’function.include’>function.include</a>]: Failed opening ’/assets/plugins/gateway.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’)

The thing is the gateway plugin seems to be working fine for me.
How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Try referencing your gateway with the base path prepended, so that it has the actual complete absolute path. Think you can fetch that with $modx->getOption(’base_path’) or the MODX_BASE_PATH constant.

I can imagine that when the plugin is ran on, for example, onHandleRequest it will be ran from the index.php file and it will work - but as soon as it hits the cache the relative path points to a different location... if tha tmakes sense.


As for the other error, it tells you possible solutions..


Have a look at your hosts support center to see which one they advise, perhaps there’s an option in your control panel even.

Mark,

Thanks for the advice. My web host was able to update a global php.ini file and add the date.timezone setting for me. I also changed the include path to use base_path like you suggested.

Thanks,
