The Zend Framework documentation has some notes regarding of
autoloading of resources.

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/learning.autoloading.resources.html

You may find some mileage there.

Hi all,

I am using Codeigniter framework, tho' I believe my question is more PHP related in general.

Problem I am having is following.

Codeigniter (CI) uses general class CI_Controller for all functions.

I have extended this controller with: abstract class CORE_Controller extends CI_Controller {...}.

Then, I also have a RESTFul library which is:
class Cpin2_rest {}

And, last one is Ion Auth library which states:
class Ion_auth {}

In the Ion auth, there (should be) is initialization of CI_Controller with:

$this->ci =& get_instance();

However, $this->ci inherits Cpin2_rest instead of CI_Controller (or CORE_Controller).

I really have no idea where have I made a mistake and can't get around this one :(

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
Aleks

That's completely CodeIgniter, not php. The mvc framework layout is something 
used by many languages, but questions about the framework aren't questions you 
should ask of the language but the framework.

Hi,

Yes indeed you are correct.

Found out that framework was loading libraries from array in specific order, whereby one overrules the next one.

Anyway, problem solved by rearranging the order of the array :)

Thanks anyway :)

Great, please report back if/when you discover the cause.

After searching for some information about the error messages I was getting on the file server, I found this:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-nfs/msg14679.html

I ran 'server nfslock status', and it wasn't even running (rpcbind wasn't recognized as a service). So I started the nfslock service and it immediately fixed the problem. I checked the config, and the service wasn't set to start in level 3, so I turned that on. It's been running for over 24 hours now with no problems.

Thanks again Bostjan for the help. I don't think I could have narrowed down the problem without using the strace.

Hi Ethan,

I might be missing something.

Did you set up the user Apache? On a standard install for Debian (using
apt-get), apache is usually set up as the user/group www-data:
http://wiki.debian.org/Apache

<http://wiki.debian.org/Apache>The root user typically owns the /var/www
directory. I usually set up virtual hosts within one of the other accounts
and then change the group on a directory outside of the public directory
specifically set aside for uploads and run the commands I sent.

However, in the case of your example, I believe you can just run the 2
commands I sent on the /var/www/output_files directory and you should be
able to write the files.

sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/output_files
sudo chmod -R 2775 /var/www/output_files

Hope this helps, and sorry if I misunderstood something in your
configuration or troubleshooting.

Adam

Dear List -

Thanks for your help.

Here is another one.....

I cannot get my session variables to work. The program will print out a chess board and show the positions of the pieces after the move

Here are code snippets: The program is chess2.php


<?php  session_start();
error_reporting(1);
if (!isset($_SESSION['results'])){ //this always returns as not set.
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "starting";

$results = array(array("Br", "Bn", "Bb", "Bq", "Bk", "Bb", "Bn", "Br"),array("Bp", "Bp", "Bp", "Bp", "Bp", "Bp", "Bp", "Bp"), array("", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""),array("", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""),array("", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""), array("", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""),array("Wp", "Wp", "Wp", "Wp", "Wp", "Wp", "Wp", "Wp"), array("Wr", "Wn", "Wb", "Wq", "Wk", "Wb", "Wn", "Wr"));

$_SESSION['results'] = $results;
print_r($_SESSION);
}
else
{
         $results = $_SESSION['results'];
         echo "<br />starting values<br />";
         print_r($results);
}
?>
