Bought EasyPHPCalendar but won't install properly

[jmcdevitt]

Hello I purchased EasyPHPCalendar for a client and went to install it auto install ion cube...everything installed fine and the test was fine however when it directed me to /calendar/setup/index.php?locale=en_US it gave me this error message...

Warning: main(functions/categories.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/alphamedicadev/oncall/speakers/calendar/calendar.php on line 50
Warning: main(functions/categories.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/alphamedicadev/oncall/speakers/calendar/calendar.php on line 50

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'functions/categories.php' (include_path='') in /home/www/alphamedicadev/oncall/speakers/calendar/calendar.php on line 50

Sorry if I have failed to see if this has been posted before. I couldn't find it. Please help I need to get this up and running today for a deadline first thing in the morning.

The error messages seem to indicate that all of the files weren't uploaded to the server. You may want to try uploading the files again or manually upload the files.

I am having the same problem. (For some reason though I only have 2 of the not found errors before the final fatal error.) Here is my error in the browser window when I go to setup/index.php:

Warning: main(functions/categories.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/achievasoft/calendar/calendar.php on line 50

Warning: main(functions/categories.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/achievasoft/calendar/calendar.php on line 50

I wondered if it had anything to do with my directory structure, which was using symbolic links to point to a different spot, so I changed it. My server still does have a symbolic link from /www to /home/www that I think would break a lot of things if I removed that. That doesn't seem like it should be a problem, though.

I guess I should say that the functions/categories.php file is there.

Ok, well I just looked at the "functions/categories.php" a little closer and it appears to be munged at the end. I deleted everything and redownloaded the ZIP and it is still munged even before FTPing up to my server.

Does the ZIP version have a problem with that file?

Those files are encoded and would look really weird if you tried to read them. With zip, the only thing I can tell you to watch for, is the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" option. Try turning it off and see if it helps.

Also, while using the ZIP version, you have to make sure you follow the instructions for uploading in the correct mode, either Binary or ASCII. If you fail to upload files in their specific mode, the calendar won't work.

Read the section pertaining to your installation that's in the "Upgrading" section of the Online Documentation (http://docs.easyphpcalendar.com/).

[Brian]

Symbolic links would have an affect on the paths:

Edit the paths in the calendar.php file. They need to be specific for your current domain.

Example:

$serverPath="/home/YourUserName/public_html/calendar/";

$urlPath="http://www.YourTempDomain.com/~YourUserName/calendar/";

[rwodonnell]

Thank you, the editing of the paths made the difference it seems. I don't see that information in the doc that I was using (Installation > Zend, frame src is http://docs.easyphpcalendar.com/source/Install/Zend.htm).

I was unable to use MySQL, so for now I am using flat file, but I was wondering, does this work with MySQL5? (This is probably a FAQ, and should not be asked while responding to a post!) The setup gave me a response that indicated I needed to upgrade my MySQL client.

[Brian]

When trying to use mySQL and you see and error, the calendar is just displaying the exact that the server reports to it.

I haven't had any reports of issues with mySQL5.
