[Chameleon] Re: Problem runnig chameleon demo

[Paul Spencer]

Hi,

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.  PHP is complaining because it cannot find the
class definition for Chameleon, which is defined in chameleon.php.  According to what you
have told me below, this should be in

d:/ms4w/apps/chameleon/htdocs

i.e.

include_once( "d:/ms4w/apps/chameleon/htdocs/chameleon.php" );

Your apache alias should have no bearing on this particular error since it is not a
web-related problem, just a file path problem.

As a side note, it is recommended that you use two aliases in this kind of setup:

/chameleon/ => d:/ms4w/apps/chameleon/htdocs

- and this web path would also need to be put into the chameleon configuration file

/chameleon_sample/ => d:/ms4w/apps/chameleon_sample/htdocs

that way you access your app throught http://localhost/chameleon_sample/.  Not only is it
shorter, but it is more secure since you are only exposing the htdocs directory to web
surfers, and the other potentially sensitive directories are kept hidden.

Cheers,

Paul
