path to a subdomain

maceo · November 7th, 2005, 10:11 PM

I have a script running on a subdomain and need to know the exact path to the script.

The script calls for me to enter the information noted here:

Quote:

define ("REPORT_FILE_URL", "http://www.mountainexpress.margaritaair.com/logs/"); // URL where the complete FSAcars reports will be stored

define ("REPORT_FILE_PATH", "/home/margari/public_html/mountainexpress/logs/"); // Folder where the complete FSAcars reports will be stored

define ("ERROR_LOG_PATH", "/home/margari/public_html/logs/error.log"); // Folder and filename where the error log is located

But the program I am running cannot find the log file - getting the following error:

Quote:

Warning: fopen(/home/margari_public_html/logs/error.log): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/margari/public_html/mountainexpress/php/receive_pirep.php on line 82

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/margari/public_html/mountainexpress/php/receive_pirep.php on line 83

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/margari/public_html/mountainexpress/php/receive_pirep.php on line 84
OK

Am I writing the path to this subdomain correctly?

You should be able to run it by just having the path set as the folder it's in, rather than using the subdomain. So http://www.something.com/folder rather than http://subdomain.something.com

Thanks - will try it.

I tried moving everything out of the subdomain and still not working.

I pulled up the PHP Manual for the fopen command, and it states the following in regards to the mode character

Quote:

Note: Different operating system families have different line-ending conventions. When you write a text file and want to insert a line break, you need to use the correct line-ending character(s) for your operating system. Unix based systems use \n as the line ending character, Windows based systems use \r\n as the line ending characters and Macintosh based systems use \r as the line ending character.

If you use the wrong line ending characters when writing your files, you might find that other applications that open those files will "look funny".

Windows offers a text-mode translation flag ('t') which will transparently translate \n to \r\n when working with the file. In contrast, you can also use 'b' to force binary mode, which will not translate your data. To use these flags, specify either 'b' or 't' as the last character of the mode parameter.

The default translation mode depends on the SAPI and version of PHP that you are using, so you are encouraged to always specify the appropriate flag for portability reasons. You should use the 't' mode if you are working with plain-text files and you use \n to delimit your line endings in your script, but expect your files to be readable with applications such as notepad. You should use the 'b' in all other cases.

If you do not specify the 'b' flag when working with binary files, you may experience strange problems with your data, including broken image files and strange problems with \r\n characters.

Note: For portability, it is strongly recommended that you always use the 'b' flag when opening files with fopen().

On line 82 of the code, there is an fopen command

Would changing the fopen (ERROR_LOG_PATH, "a"); to some other ending character have any effect on the Surpass server?

The first warning shows you what's really going wrong....

Warning: fopen(/home/margari_public_html/logs/error.log): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Instead of it trying to open /home/margari/public_html/logs/error.log, it's trying to open /home/margari_public_html/logs/error.log

Although from the first quote, it appears you defined the path to the file correctly. Check out line 82 of the "receive_pirep.php" file and make sure it is opening the defined ERROR_LOG_PATH, instead of some variable which might have stored an altered version of the path.

PHP-Man to the rescue!

Definitely.

I did resolve it by changing the line to:

(ERROR_LOG_PATH, "ab"); - that did the trick

I also noted the typo in the path and had corrected that already - this final change seemed to make the differerence.

Thanks
