Re: [psa-users] Drive Include Path Problem on new pages

[Peter H. <pe...@pe...>]

Okay, I've changed the include file to read:

'IncludePath' =>    dirname(__FILE__).'/../metabase'

Now, no error message, but I get a blank page. Or almost a blank page. If I 
look at the source code, something has dumped in some html 4.01 structure and 
a css style, but there is nothing between the body tags.

It is obviously not coming back to my page and picking up the rest of the 
page. 

I've just picked up the CVS source, but it will be another two days before I 
can get to it. It's now midnight and it looks like another long day at work 
tomorrow.

This won't work quite as you're expecting.... You need to have the slash 
added after dirname() like:

dirname(__FILE__).'/../../metabase'

Above is likely why you get this error.

Did you try checking out the latest CVS source? Maybe there is something 
that we had fixed there without realizing it. Basically, I always use 
dirname(__FILE__)  when looking for files so I know exactly where I am.  
I haven't had the no DBMS Driver error in so long I don't remember 
exactly what caused it.

Another option is to go to the metabase board in Yahoo groups and search 
the archives there. It definately sounds like metabase isn't playing 
nice with you.

Hi Peter, 

It sounds like metabase is not loading the db driver correctly. I'm
surprised that you can log in because the config file is the one that
contains the matabase directives, not _restrict.php.

The documentation on metabase is actually pretty good I think. You need to
give the profile access to the page as well as add it to the site structure,
but it doesn't sound like that is the problem. You're not using the CVS
version are you?

Justin, do you know anything about this?

[psa-users] Drive Include Path Problem on new pages

[Peter H. <pe...@pe...>]

I've just tried to install phpsecurityadm. I was a little frustrated by the 
documentation on metabase, but finally got so that I could log on to the 
admin page, add users, change passwords, etc.

I can't get the driver_test stuff on metabase to work, but phpsecurity seems 
to work...

Things are looking promising, so I build a page (in the directory above all 
the metabase and phpSecurity pages), adding it to the database,  and get the 
following error.

it was not specified a valid DBMS driver include path

OK. I'm lost. Where might the system be breaking down? I'm running a linux box 
with mysql.

The test page is simply:

<?php
require_once "phpsecurityadmin/_restrict.php";

echo "<html><title>Starting Page</title><body><h4>Starting Page</h4><br />";
echo "Starting page stuff";
echo "</body></html>";

?>
