 |
|
I don't even get the green bars when I try to do the tutorial. I'm using CakePHP 1.3.6 and get a warning on timezone setting, which I ignore for the time being. Worse is this: | Code: | | Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /srv/www/htdocs/cake/libs/cache/file.php on line 248 Fatal error: Call to a member function cd() on a non-object in /srv/www/htdocs/cake/libs/cache/file.php on line 248 |
What am I doing wrong?

You must set the timezone, if you don't you get the error you are seeing.
I know this, because I had it too.
I changed mine to "Europe/London" but you can simply un-comment the UTC setting if you wish.
Once you do that, refresh the browser and you will either get a yippee moment, or the next error!
basically, the things you must do are:
* Set the salt
* Set the crypto seed
* Set the timezone
* Make app/tmp directory writable to the webserver user.
Anything less gives errors.
Cheers,
Norm.

Thanks for the answer.
I'm afraid I have to ask you to explain more specifically how you did set the timezone. Mine is set to Europe/Copenhagen using method 1 in http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/09/change-timezone-in-linux/.
Still, I don't understand why a warning can blow up a program. If it does it should be classified as an error. Anyway, the complete output from my attempt is this: | Code: | Warning (2): strtotime() [http://php.net/function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Berlin' for 'CET/1.0/no DST' instead [CORE/cake/libs/cache.php, line 570]
Code | Context
$settings = array(
"engine" => "File",
"path" => "/srv/www/htdocs/app/tmp/cache/persistent/",
"prefix" => "cake_core_",
"lock" => false,
"serialize" => true,
"isWindows" => false,
"duration" => "+10 seconds",
"probability" => 100
)
strtotime - [internal], line ??
CacheEngine::init() - CORE/cake/libs/cache.php, line 570
FileEngine::init() - CORE/cake/libs/cache/file.php, line 81
Cache::_buildEngine() - CORE/cake/libs/cache.php, line 151

I hope you can shed more light on this.

Evening!
As I'm in the UK and currently on GMT, which is equivalent to UTC, I have a choice:
Edit the file <your_install>/app/config/core.php and either un-comment the line (by removing the // at the start) :
//date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
Or, set it to:
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
Both options cause the warning to vanish, plus, allows the failing "cd" command to work. It's very strange indeed.
It's a PHP 5.3 thing where yo have to tell it the time zone you wish to use rather than relying on the server time zone. makes no sense to me, but there you have it!
Cheers,
Norm.

Indeed, it works! After doing as you suggest - except using Europe/Copenhagen - everything fell into place.
Thanks a lot for your help

Glad to help. I have to confess, I was stuck in exactly the same position as you were just on Monday this week, and once I decided to get rid of the warning message, I found the error message went away as well.
My next problem is that I can't get any of my controllers to work! I just get a 404 page not found. Sigh!
Good luck. Happy christmas.
Cheers,
Norm.

Hi Norm
I was very tempted to answer "That makes two of us", but then I discovered that I did not have mod_rewrite loaded. Once I got that done, I got my controller working and am now down to the 'real' coding errors 
Merry Christmas to you too.

That's the avenue I'm working down now.
Cheers,
