Newbie has problems

[MarcusK]

Hi,
Im a new user of phpGedView and installed the software this weekend on my webspace. I got these failures, if I connect to the webpage:
Warning: print_header(): Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in /home/export/www/hosting/theplatinum/phpGedView/functions_print.php on line 709

Warning: print_header(): Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in /home/export/www/hosting/theplatinum/phpGedView/functions_print.php on line 710

and page up:

Warning: print_footer(): Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in /home/export/www/hosting/theplatinum/phpGedView/functions_print.php on line 805

You can see it also on http://theplatinum.th.ohost.de/phpGedView/

Hope you could help me !

Hi Marcus,

This error is happening because it is trying to include the headers from the themes.  Make sure that you have a themes directory and that it has at least the standard theme in it.

Hi John,
I updated the themes directory and the standard theme. But nothing happens. If I login then I have the theme like ocean or xenea and if I logout also. BUT if i close the  browser site I get the same errors!
Whats my mistake?

Hi Marcus,

I went to your site, and it states that you are using the 3.0 beta 4 version PhpGedView.  I reccommend that you download the latest 3.1 version and see if that doesn't fix the problem.

Since this is the same problem as is posted in another thread, please refer to that thread for more information:

I updated with the latest version but its 3.0 beta 4 again. Is that possible?
The error is the same!

[John Finlay]

You can get the 3.1 version here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55456&package_id=61562&release_id=251048

If you check the revision number of the session.php file, it should be revision 1.227.  You can find this on line 27 of session.php

I updated with the software-link. But now I get this

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/export/www/hosting/theplatinum/phpGedView/session.php on line 33

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/export/www/hosting/theplatinum/phpGedView/session.php on line 34

Marcus,

Now you will have to comment out lines 33-35 in your session.php file.

If your host has disabled this function, they have likely disabled other functions as well.  So you may have to comment out other functions if you get the same Warning.

--John

[MarcusK]

What do you mean with comment out?

[John Finlay]

To comment out a line of code, just add a # or // to the beginning of the line.  This turns the line into a comment and prevents it from being executed.

So for line 33, you need to change it to:
#ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');

The ini_set function changes some of PHP's runtime configuration parameters.  PhpGedView modifies some of these parameters for better error reporting and more memory.  Most hosts do not disable this function.

I tried it out to comment it with @! Is that correct?

Many thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!!
