Trying to test v1.8 - php undefined function issue

[bruce]

Hi.

I’m trying to test the community 1.8, to determine if the fee based
version would be a good bet.

My problems.

I’m trying to install the egroupware app

http://www.egroupware.org/download<<. Given that there is no rpm, I
downloaded the

eGroupware-1.8.001.20101201.tar.gz
eGroupware-egw-pear-1.8.001.20101201.tar.gz

I’m running fedora 13, with the default/stock apache/php/mysql/pear.

I’ve also set the user/permissions for the egroupware files via

find -type f -exec chmod 755 ‘{}’ ;
find -type d -exec chmod 750 ‘{}’ ;

I’ve also modified the apache httpd.conf as required to setup the test
site, and this works as I can see the config page.

The initial configuration page indicates that the required subordinate
functions are installed. The only “warnings” i get have to do with
using a db, that i’m not installing. I’m using mysql for the test.

The next step in the process, would be to initiate, and fill in the
header.inc.php, which is auto generated via the
header_manager.php/form.

However, when I attempt to generate the manageheader.php to invoke the
form, I get a blank page, and the form is never displayed.

I suspected that this might be a user/permission error, but for the
life of me I can’t track it down. Viewing the apache
error_log/access_log didn’t shed any light on this either.

I’ve talked to a few people via the irc egroupware, but was unable to
figure this out.

I’ve narrowed the issue down, using the debug function of php. It
appears that the issue is within the code section of the
manageheader.php file:
$setup_tpl->set_var(‘lang_select’,'

Please
Select your language '.lang_select(True,‘en’)."");

Fatal error: Call to undefined function lang_select() in
/var/www/html/egroup/setup/manageheader.php on line 230

The “lang_select” is in the class >>> setup_html <<<

Any potential pointers/thoughts would be welcome!!

I’ve inspected the 1.6 code, and see the same code, so I’m curious as
to what could be causing this issue. Could this be due to some stting
within the php.ini env. On the other hand, I don’t see how the
setup_html class is ever setup to use the lang_select method of the
class.

Thanks

Sorry no clue, but it seems that some of the basic classes which are usually loaded are not loaded in your case.

The adding of select_lang to class.setup_html (and removing it from functions.inc.php was done in
Thu Jul 29 08:30:41 2010 UTC (6 months ago) by ralfbecker.

in manageheader.php
functions.inc.php is included via
include(’./inc/functions.inc.php’);

You could try to add explicitly
include(’./inc/class.setup_html.inc.php’);
or call the lang_select as setup_html::lang_select

But I doubt, that either of this will help a lot. I assume there is some problem with your php/enviroment/whatever that is
somehow preventing the loading of stuff, that is usually loaded. I assume there will be more stuff to fail loading.
So I think the missing lang_select is the symptom of something more fundamental in the background.

If you must use tgz why not using the daily snapshot?

It will not solve your problem, but you have a up to date 1.8 if you get it running

Hi Bruce,

the issue is now fixed in SVN and with the next maintenance release also for the packages.

It only happens when your browser signals none of the languages supported by EGroupware and you dont accept cookies.

I also fixed an related issue: no language selection shown in check_install/manageheader, if browser signals no supported language.
