Installation Problems - Lite

[admin]

OK... I don't think this is going to work.. I fixed the config.inc.php file so that there are no problems with the source code..

But now we're back to the original problems of php not being configured correctly.

 

[RonG]

Okay, my host has a problem.  But maybe we can help it address its problem with a little analysis of the errors that we are seeing.  Following is my inexpert attempt at it:

Referring to the error messages that are output from the execution of index.PHP, which are essentially the same ones listed in my initial post, I find that they fall into the following four categories:

1) NOTICES advising me that certain variables referenced in index.PHP are not defined there, but are cross-referenced in config.inc.php or shared.lib.php.  Isn't that what is supposed to happen?  Such notices should certainly not be show-stoppers.

2) WARNINGS advising me of problems in lines 533 and 670 of shared.lib.php.  These lines evidently have something to do with the identification of the target snippet in the file to be edited.  Mightn't such warnings be a consequence of inability to access the target file, perhaps because access rights to it are overly restricted?  (I found out yesterday that I must put in a change request through host tech support in order to modify file access permissions; I haven't done that yet.)

3) SCRIPT ERROR
SnippetMaster v1.2.6 :
SnippetMaster was unable to continue due to the following error:
Sorry, but the License Key you supplied is not for the RESELLER version of SnippetMaster. You may NOT modify or remove the 'Powered by SnippetMaster PRO' links or copyright information. You are violating your license agreement if you modify or remove this text from the program.

I promise you, I didn't touch a thing that I wasn't supposed to.

4) NOTICE of the undefined variable _SESSION without any cross-reference.  You've explained to me that this wouldn't be a show-stopper if the host installation of PHP weren't screwed up.  Host tech support had advised me to comment the variable out; that eliminated this particular notice.  But certain other problems appeared after you changed the PATH and ROOT specifications that disappeared when I un-commented the variable.  And now the original problem is back.  So this is clearly a problem with the host installation of php.  

But the other errors seem not to point to that type of problem, provided proper file permissions can be established.  Do you agree?  If so, given that the CHGMOD of all files is now set at the default value of 755, the changes that I should request are:

Where ~ = \\frigga\home\users\web\b1874\ph.d30053130
1) Modify ~\content\sml_test.HTML {which contains the text to be edited and the appropriate snippet tags} to CHMOD 666.

2) Modify  ~\sml\webmaster {the 'location' upload folder} to CHMOD 777.

Right?  Do any other files (especially Snippetmaster files) need to have their access rights upgraded from CHGMOD 755?

[admin]

1) None of these warnings, errors, etc.. have anything to do with file permisssions.  

2) It isn't as easy as just classifying the different errors/warnings.  Basically, you can only really take the first few, because then those warnings/errors are responsible for the other warnings/errors, etc.. and it goes down the chain like that.

The problem here is that the php configuration on your server is "not normal".  Without having access to the php.ini file (the main configuration file for php on the server), I can't know what might be the problem.

However, the fact that your php configuration doesn't recognize the $_SESSION variable, and complains about the various variables in the config.inc.php file.... tells me that there is something very seriously wrong.

I'm afraid there really isn't much I can do at this point, unless your host is willing to take a look at their php configuration.

My suggestion is to find a different host, that has more "normal" hosting that is compatible with basic php usage.

Sorry!  

[RonG]

You say their configuration of PHP is non-standard, and they say it's yours that is non-standard; but before we call the whole thing off, would you please scan their php information, listed below, for something that pops out at you that they would need to change to accommodate Snippetmaster?

[admin]

You say their configuration of PHP is non-standard, and they say it's yours that is non-standard;

Hello,

I've actually already looked at your php configuration.  (This is the output from the phpinfo.php file.)

There's two things to consider:

1) Snippetmaster is downloaded by about 200 people every day. Even if 1/10 of those people actually take the next step and try to install the software, I don't get very many posts in the forums or emails from folks having problems.  If I do, it is usually a simple "path" problem which is fixed in minutes.  

2) I have over 5000 customers.  None of them have problems.

3) On your server, snippetMaster is producing a warning about some VERY basic php code.  (Doesn't recognize the standard $_SESSION variable, which is a built-in php variable.)

Now, I respectfully disagree with your host.  

1) If snippetmaster were indeed the culprit, then don't you think more of my customers would be having problems?  

2) Wouldn't the many people who download the free LITE version be having problems?  

The forums would be full of similar posts to yours if this were true.

 

I'm not sure what else to say.  I'm 100% confident that SnippetMaster does not require any "special" configuration or anything other then a normal/standard PHP setup.  After many thousands of people using the software, I have a lot of experience to make this claim.

I do wish you the best of luck with your web host.  I'm quite confident that you're going to experience the same sort of problems with just about ANY php software that you decide to use.

[RonG]

Having now been kissed off on both cheeks, I feel like a Frenchman.  So I guess it's time to say, "Ce qui sera, soyez" (Ok, ok, my French is no better than my PHP) and move on.

Henri, I really do appreciate your effort on behalf of my organization and me, especially since it didn't fatten your pocketbook.  I wish I could get a fraction of the service from those who profit from my business.

[admin]

Having now been kissed off on both cheeks,

I hope I haven't come across as unwilling to help.     I honestly believe that no matter how much I work on this problem, the issue lies squarly with an "unusual" php configuration on your server.  Thus, I feel it would be pointless to continue...

... however, you're more then welcome to download the new release of SnippetMaster that will be coming in a few weeks.  Hopefully, this new version might "fix" whatever is incompatible with your server and all will be well with the world.

Good luck!
