Load Schemas error

I don't know if cu3edweb ever found a solution to this problem, but I encountered the same thing today after moving the contents of the pronto-0.6.tar.gz file to my hosting server.

I know with the 0.5 tar there was a problem with the DS definition on MS/WIN platforms that made one of the scripts fail to recognize a relative path versus a fully qualified path (starting at root with a "\") -- unfortunately, I can't remember which script it was that I "fixed" to resolve that. I'm wondering if the '~' in a Linux path was having a similar adverse effect (or if dirname() supports that), but I didn't have time to really investigate the issue.

So, after monkeying around a while, I realized I just didn't have time to keep troubleshooting; instead, I edited two files to hard-code fully-qualified paths into them.

In .../app/profiles/cmdline.php, I replaced each dirname() call with fully-qualified (constant) paths for both config.php and access.php.

In .../pronto/bin/load_schemas.php, I added full paths to the first file_exists() call (to get to my .../app/profiles/cmdline.php) and to the require_once() call which follows it. These are the lines which specifically generate the error message that kicked off this topic.

I realize this is a major hack (my apologies to JV), and maybe someday I'll go back and figure out what was happening. But, if you just need to get things up & running, this worked out for me.

Hi J.

I haven't revisited the path issue in a while, although it popped up again when I was looking at generating CRUD files from the generator script.

I'm sure I've just messed something up, but I'd be happy to work through it at some time with you.

I plan on moving a fresh installation of Pronto onto a development server in a week or two. If it goes smoothly, I'll post an update here to let you know what I learned.

If I hit the problem again on the fresh installation, I'll try to reach you and schedule an IM session.

Thanks for your help and your amazing work on this framework. With any luck, maybe I'll become savvy enough to be helpful with it someday!

Judd:

I downloaded the latest off GitHub today and installed in plain-vanilla form on a local test server (LAMP). All the paths worked fine after I tweaked the /app/config/config.php file as needed. The schema loading script took off from the start.

In my prior configuration, I was trying to put the /pronto code in a subdirectory outside the web server's html realm, which didn't look like it would cause a problem. It did, however, seem to make the pathing troublesome. I will make an effort to re-create that scenario and report to you what I find.

I have noticed a bug with the Ajax dialog for the User module, however. I guess I'll start another topic for that one, just to keep everything organized better within the forum.

Will be in touch!
