Install works... but app doesn't.

nullstream

I get: "Error loading settings. Contact admin." when trying to load the app after a _successful_ setup (via http://$DOMAIN/setup/).

Looking at main.inc.php it seems that $configfile is empty.

The file exists and the permissions are set to be readable.

Adding a 'system("cat ./include/ost-config.php")' shows the contents of the config file as expected.

Setting ROOT_DIR explicitly (ie. setting it to `pwd`) gives me:

Warning: ini_set() : A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time in .//main.inc.php on line 35

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class ClientSession in /home/users/$PATH/support/include/class.usersession.php on line 142

It seems for some reason file_exists is always returning false for paths relative to system root instead of document root.

I don't believe safe mode is on either.

If I set $configfile explicitly I get the same output.

No matter what I do I can't get it to load.

I've tried including the contents of the db settings into main.inc.php and the rest of the defines as well with no success.

Adding the following to the first line of main.inc.php:

die(exec('wc -l include/ost-config.php'));

Returns:

47 116 1481 include/ost-config.php

So I know the file is READABLE by PHP in that folder for that vhost.

Any ideas?

SOLVED.

One folder further up in the tree (yet in the middle) did not have an execute bit set.

Now it makes sense, though error messages should have been explicit _why_ file_exists failed instead of just complaining about not being able to load config.
