cant connect to config.php using initialize.php in localhost

[ricky spires]

hello.

 

i want to create an oop website on my localhost but im having trouble getting the initialize file to find my config file.

 

if i point my browser to my local host my index page works fine because it does not need the initialize file at this stage, but if i point my browser to my admin index (http://localhost/djsonrotation/admin/) i get this error

 

Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/djsonrotation/includes/initialize.php on line 9

 

Warning: require_once(http://localhost/djsonrotation/config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/djsonrotation/includes/initialize.php on line 9

 

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'http://localhost/djsonrotation/config.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/php5/lib/php') in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/djsonrotation/includes/initialize.php on line 9

 

 

 

the initialize file is basically 1 place that points to lots of different places and mine looks like this:

<?PHP
defined('DS') ? null : define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
defined('SITE_DOMAIN') ? null : define('SITE_DOMAIN', 'http://localhost/djsonrotation');
defined('SITE_ROOT') ? null : define('SITE_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
defined('LIB_PATH') ? null : define('LIB_PATH', SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'includes');
defined('CSS_PATH') ? null : define('CSS_PATH', SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'css');

require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'config.php');
require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS."functions.php");
require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS."session.php");
require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS."database.php");
require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS."user.php");
?>

 

this is the config file its looking for:

<?PHP
defined('DB_SERVER') ? null : define("DB_SERVER", "localhost");
defined('DB_USER') ? null : define("DB_USER", "admin");
defined('DB_PASS') ? null : define("DB_PASS", "*************");
defined('DB_NAME') ? null : define("DB_NAME", "djsonrotation");
?>

 

this is how my mamp is set up

PORTS - 80  - 3306

PHP - 5

APACHE - /Applications/MAMP/htdocs

 

 

this is where my file are located on my wwwroot

 

/index.php

/includes/initialize.php

/includes/config.php

/admin/index.php

 

 

this is the line of code calling the initialize on /admin/index.php

require_once("../includes/initialize.php");

 

 

thanks

rick

It looks like you're calling the file using the domain path, and not the servers directory path.

 

defined('SITE_DOMAIN') ? null : define('SITE_DOMAIN', 'http://localhost/djsonrotation');
defined('SITE_ROOT') ? null : define('SITE_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
defined('LIB_PATH') ? null : define('LIB_PATH', SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'includes');
defined('CSS_PATH') ? null : define('CSS_PATH', SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'css');

require_once(SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'config.php');

 

if you look, you can see that the require_once function is trying to call "http://localhost/djsonrotation/config.php" when you really need it to call the file relative to the hard drive location, and not relative to the domain location.

 

I would change that to:

 

defined('SITE_DOMAIN') ? null : define('SITE_DOMAIN', 'http://localhost/djsonrotation');
defined('SITE_ROOT') ? null : define('SITE_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
defined('LIB_PATH') ? null : define('LIB_PATH', SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'includes');
defined('CSS_PATH') ? null : define('CSS_PATH', SITE_DOMAIN.DS.'css');

require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS.'includes/config.php');

hello.

 

thanks for your replies.

 

i just tried this but it didnt work

 

<?PHP
defined('DS') ? null : define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
defined('SITE_DOMAIN') ? null : define('SITE_DOMAIN', 'http://localhost/djsonrotation');
defined('SITE_ROOT') ? null : define('SITE_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS.'includes/config.php');
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."includes/functions.php");
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."includes/session.php");
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."includes/database.php");
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."includes/user.php");
?>

 

i got this error:

Warning: require_once(/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/includes/config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/djsonrotation/includes/initialize.php on line 7

Read the error:

 

/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/includes/config.php

 

that is where it is saying it's looking.

 

/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/djsonrotation/includes/initialize.php

 

That is where the script is.  So:

<?PHP
defined('DS') ? null : define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
defined('SITE_DOMAIN') ? null : define('SITE_DOMAIN', 'http://localhost/djsonrotation');
defined('SITE_ROOT') ? null : define('SITE_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS.'djsonrotation/includes/config.php');
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."djsonrotation/includes/functions.php");
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."djsonrotation/includes/session.php");
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."djsonrotation/includes/database.php");
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."djsonrotation/includes/user.php");
?>

 

Try that.

require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS.'djsonrotation/includes/config.php');
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."djsonrotation/includes/functions.php");
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."djsonrotation/includes/session.php");
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."djsonrotation/includes/database.php");
require_once(SITE_ROOT.DS."djsonrotation/includes/user.php");

If you read the error it tells you exactly what the problem is.

 

LIB_PATH is not defined
