Re: [VuFind-General] Problem during installing of VUFind

[Maria T. <Ti...@gh...>]

Thank you for the quick reply and advice. I edited the block of code and  it was still not supressing all the error codes (regardless of the constant used). In the end I edited php.ini, turning display errors to off, and all the problems I was experiencing seem to have disappeared. I have vufind installed locally so this temporary solution is fine for the moment.

Thank you once again!
Maria

Betreff: RE: Problem during installing of VUFind

Some of the libraries used by VuFind are a bit old and cause strict and deprecation warnings in PHP 5.3+.  As far as I know, none of these problems should be fatal.  To suppress the warnings, you can edit this block of code in index.php:

if ($configArray['System']['debug']) {
    ini_set('display_errors', true);
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
}

(changing the E_ALL to something more restrictive)

and/or you can change the default error display settings in php.ini to exclude strict and deprecation warnings.

Please let me know if you need more detailed help, and I apologize for the inconvenience of this.  We're currently working on VuFind 2.0 (due for a first release candidate next summer) which will be a bit more modern and should eliminate all of these problems!

Subject: [VuFind-General] Problem during installing of VUFind

Dear all,

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I was wondering if anyone could assist with the following. I am running XAMPP 1.7.7 (Apache 2.2.21;MySQL 5.5.16;PHP 5.3.8;phpMyAdmin 3.4.5) on Windows 7 64bit. I have followed all the installation instructions on the VUFind website but I am encountering the following error. When I attempt to open VUFind (http://localhost/vufind), I encounter the following errors with debug set to true (with the usual vufind start-up screen below, including search bar etc.):

Oddly, I seem to get a much longer list of errors with debug set to false. If anyone can offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,
Maria
