Hi,
I'm having a problem connecting to a DB using ODBC in cake1.3, similar
to what has been posted here by another user:
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/80748c2737f6f4b1/efbaf88dfe28b3da?hl=en#efbaf88dfe28b3da
When I browse to a page inside my cake that is supposed to retrieve
data from the database (which uses SQL Server btw), I too get the
error
Fatal Error (256): ConnectionManager::loadDataSource - Unable to
import DataSource class .DboOdbc [CORE\cake\libs\model
\connection_manager.php, line 185]
I followed the readme.md instructions in https://github.com/cakephp/datasources:
downloaded the repository, extracted the folders 'models' and 'tests'
to cake_1_3\app\plugins\datasources and in my cake_1_3\app\config
\database.php I changed the previous configuration and added
var $default = array(
'datasource' => 'Datasources.XmlrpcSource',
'driver' => 'odbc',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => '...',
...
);
var $test = array(
'datasource' => 'Datasources.XmlrpcSource',
'driver' => 'odbc',
'persistent' => false,
...
);
Now if I reload the page where I'm supposed to see data retrieved from
the database, my browser says
Fatal error: Access level to XmlrpcSource::$_baseConfig must be
public (as in class DataSource) in F:\AppServ\www\cake_1_3\app\plugins
\datasources\models\datasources\xmlrpc_source.php on line 296
Browsing xmlrpc_source.php I find that $_baseConfig is set to
protected so I changed it to public, but now I get the error
Fatal Error (256): ConnectionManager::loadDataSource - Unable to
import DataSource class .XmlrpcOdbc [CORE\cake\libs\model
\connection_manager.php, line 185]
After that I decided to try to use the datasource through App::import,
so I commented the 2 'datasource' => 'Datasources.XmlrpcSource' lines
in database.php and added the line
App::import('Datasource', 'Datasources.XmlrpcSource');
to the file of the model that is supposed to retrieve data form the
database. However, I get this error again
Fatal Error (256): ConnectionManager::loadDataSource - Unable to
import DataSource class .DboOdbc [CORE\cake\libs\model
\connection_manager.php, line 185]
Although the instructions don't specify, I'm assuming I must add the
'App::import' line to the model file. If I add it to the controller
file, for example, I get
Fatal error: Class 'Datasource' not found in F:\AppServ\www
\cake_1_3\app\plugins\datasources\models\datasources\xmlrpc_source.php
on line 29
Line 29 is where you have 'class XmlrpcSource extends Datasource {'
I don't know if anyone can help me but thanks in advance and let me
know if I should supply more detailed information.
Ricardo
