[Chameleon] Problems with local settings and sample applications

Thu Apr 7 20:47:56 EDT 2005

 Jussi,

You seem to lack the main htdocs directory. The htdocs directory (that contains chameleon.php) should be at the same level as the directory that you called "sample". But it doesn't exist. That is why your samples won't work. By trying your "Enhanced JSAPI" widget, you can actually see that error; it's looking for "../../htdocs/chameleon.php".  You probably placed your "htdocs" folder outside of your public area, but that means you'd have to move the samples too, or modify the, currently relative, paths in the phtml files.

Try extracting your installation package again with its original folder structure, and place the directory in the right place. Also, for security purposes, perhaps turn off directory browsing, although it served me well :-). (to do this, remove the "Indexes" value, after the "options" parameter of the web object, and of the "directory" object in the server configuration file (httpd.conf).

regards,

Jacob

weird.  Try adding

$GLOBALS['gszAppPath'] = '/path/to/your/app';

before you include chameleon.php

What version of php/apache are you using?
