Would someone advise on how to correct

 

Thanks!

the error is quite straightforward: the file you're asking it to require doesn't exist. that makes sense, since you're asking it to fetch "includes/languages/.php" - i doubt you have a file called ".php" in that directory.

Indeed the problem defined is straight forward, but the solution ?

 

in the file

/usr/local/www/apache22/lall/market/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php, line 156-165

referenced in the error log

 

// include the language translations
// include the language translations
// include the language translations
  require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '.php');
  require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '.php');
  $current_page = basename($PHP_SELF);
  $current_page = basename($PHP_SELF);
  if (file_exists(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . $current_page)) {
    include(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . $current_page);
  }

 

There is a disturbing reproduction of lines of code, so my thinking is that there maybe some file corruption here. Probably another copy of this file from another source might provide a solution. If someone has a copy of this single file I'll be receptive of receiving it.

 

Alternately, is there a module or an option for the 'function' that I failed to 'include' in the configuration ?

'./configure' '--with-layout=GNU' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/etc/php' '--disable-all' '--enable-libxml' '--with-libxml-dir=/usr/local' '--enable-reflection' '--program-prefix=' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--enable-discard-path' '--enable-fastcgi' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--with-regex=php' '--with-zend-vm=CALL' '--enable-debug' '--enable-zend-multibyte' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--mandir=/usr/local/man' '--infodir=/usr/local/info/' '--build=i386-portbld-freebsd7.2'

 

Thanks!

it's tough to say without knowing the application that you're trying to install - the error seems to be in the code for the application itself. i'm moving this to third-party applications, as that is where the issue is.

The program is oscommerce-2.2.r2.a,2

I'm real new to PHP scripting but it looks to me like the $language variable may not be getting set properly.  The error message shows the directory and the extension but that variable appears to be null.  Maybe you could throw an ECHO in there to check $language contents?  If it IS null then the problem likely lies elsewhere.  If it's set with a form then there may be a problem with the form...

 

As I said I'm new to this.  Consider it food for thought till you get another response.
