Shiplu,

Not sure what you meant by that. I never had to restore anything. Would be
happy to know if I have misunderstood anything.

The fact that you were able to add your schema by simply copying it into
the correct directory is a happy coincidence, or more likely a serious
bug in MySQL. There may be some system tables that were not updated to
reflect the presence of that schema, so some features may not work with
it.

The correct way to move a database is to back it up on the original
server, then restore it on the new one. That way all system tables would
be correctly updated by the server.

On more than one occassion I've just copied the data files from one
location to another to move the database from one server to another. You
do have to ensure that the MySQL service has been stopped while you do
this, but aside from that there's nothing wrong with doing this.

Ash - Yes, the service was stopped and then it was copied.

Good morning,

I have a PHP form that I have been using for some time now on a Macbook Pro 
running PHP 5.3.1 and MySQL 5.0.5 and everything was working fine. But this 
morning, when I submitted (it is a journaling application) it came up with the 
following error: 

No such file or directory 

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this? Have you ever seen this 
before?

Thanks,

Steve Marquez

Do you have any examples of code at all? It sounds like a file it's
requiring is missing, but you haven't given the full error there either.

1. Did you do any upgrades recently ?
2. What is your code ?

I downloaded and installed the iPhone SDK to develop some iPhone apps.
This form has worked forever. Perhaps the SDK install did something?

Where exactly did you see this error?

1) In your browser when you tried loading the form?
2) In your browser when you submitted the form?
3) In the error logs of your web server?

Other questions:

What type of web server are you running?

Did your cat stomp on your keyboard?

Are the files stored locally or are they on a network/remote drive?

Children doing things they should not be doing? (Happened to me once...)

Are you accessing the files via http://localhost/... ?? or as a local file?

Sorry, should have been more specific.  Where did you see the error?  In your
browser, error logs of your web server, etc... ?

If this error was displayed in your browser, you should look in your apache
error log file at that corresponding time to see if it has any more information.

What did your error log file say? it should tell you the path and the name
of the file that was being called; then go and look to see if the file
exists.

Steve,

SERVER_SOFTWARE is a variable that will give you which apache version you
are actually using. Just drop a one - liner in a test.php as this :
*
*
*
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

*
You can look for the above variable. Any other ideas others may have, please
share.

Strangest thing... it just started working again. Odd.

Is there an easy way to view the error logs? As you can tell, I am still a 
novice at this. 
I am on Apache2

Thanks for your help.

It depends. On most Linux distros there are log viewers that let you
look at all the different logs from one drop-down menu.

Otherwise, the logs are all just text files, so you can view them in any
text editor from kate to notepad to vim.

Steve,

Do you know where Apache is installed? If yes, you have something like
error.log and access.log. Find them and nail them them down.

I am a novice, too and the best way to learn is to answer here and getting
corrected by other PHP gurus! So, all in the name of learning! :)

You haven't said what sort of operating system you're using. In Linux,
most of the logs are kept in sub-directories of /var/log I believe.
Windows, well they could be scattered anywhere. MacOS, not too sure
about that.

True. Since I am a Windows user, I find it here :

*C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\apache\logs*

I am on Mac OS 10.6
I found the logs using the console. It was pretty easy and displays nicely.

I am reviewing the entries now.

Thanks for your help.

Folks,

Just quite could not stop taking your inputs before I start my learning
curve to shape up.

Should I use one of these frameworks or just *K*eep *I*t *S*imple and *S*tupid
and learn it the traditional way? Thoughts?

--- Begin Message --- First spend time working with straight up PHP, writing your own stuff, throwing it away, and writing it again. What you'll learn that way is immeasurable.
Then pick a framework (Cake, Drupal, Symfony, Zend, PEAR, whatever) and learn it, maybe two. Try working with it and extending it.
Then do the bulk of your serious work with that framework, having had enough experience to understand what it's doing and why.
The timeframe for that process will vary widely from a few months to a few years depending on how quickly you pick stuff up and how much time you have, but that's going to get you the best education and productivity.
