hello to all!

i wanted to move my local site to my apache live-server. but there are some strange errors.

1. everything is fine, when i’m not logged into the manager. the site is working with "friendly url’s disabled.
But if i log in and i go back to preview my site, the following error occurs:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »
 
PHP error debug
  Error: 	Unknown: failed to open stream: No such file or directory	 
  Error type/ Nr.: 	Warning - 2	 
  File: 	/home/xyz/subdomain.testsite.de/www/modx/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(724) : eval()'d code	 
  Line: 	70

2. When i turn on "friendly url’s" and i’m not logged in, i only can see my startpage. on every other page i want to navigate there is a "document not found".

some of my server settings:

- apache
- php 5.0.4
- mod-rewrite is installed

maybe its because the whole site is in an apache-protected directory? (the "www" folder).

i’m thankful for any help!

greetz, captain.

sorry for my bad english...

Are you sure you moved the .htaccess files to the production server, or renamed them from ht.access to .htaccess? Also, are you sure your production server supports them?

yes i am sure that the .htaccess file is on the server and its written correctly and is supported.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

and if i delete it and deactivate in the manager the "friendly url’s", the same error occurs.

another strange thing is, that my site cannot find my snippets (wayfinder). the normal include_path is:

"assets/snippets/wayfinder/wayfinder.inc.php"

that does not work. but if i insert

"/home/xyz/subdomain.testsite.de/www/modx/assets/snippets/wayfinder/wayfinder.inc.php"

it does work.

Did you re-run the installer in upgrade mode when you moved servers?

The problem is with Wayfinder and with open_basedir restrictions in effect. The open_basedir settings in PHP 5.0.4 are flawed and do not work properly. This is likely the source of the other issues as well...although if in a subdirectory of the document root (i.e. the document root=/www/), the rewrite base needs to be /modx/ in .htaccess.

do you mean, that it does not work correctly with php 5.0.4?? or are there any workarounds to change the open_basedir settings? in my phpinfo.php, open_basedir has "no value". sorry, maybe i do not understand waht you mean....

right, this was my fault...

I mean running PHP 5.0.4 with open_basedir restrictions in effect is broken yes...the change you made to Wayfinder is the only way to make it work on that version. I’ve had to modify entire PHP applications to work on PHP 5.0.4 with this setting because of the issue, including ones I’ve paid good money for...

me once again...

i’ve spoken with my ISP and he says its an include_path problem. so i tested, if the include path is change, or not. i put this peace of code into my "manager/index.php" before "// set some runtime options":

echo get_include_path() . "<br />";
echo get_include_path(); exit();

the result is:

/usr/share/php5
/usr/share/php5

is it right, that the include_path is not overwritten? and why this could be happen?
