Hi,

I am in the process of upgrading my ILIAS to latest version. After completing all the file copy operations when i access \setup.php...This is what happens....

Warning: file(/lang/setup_lang_sel_multi.lang) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/setup/classes/class.ilLanguage.php on line 107

Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in /var/www/html/setup/classes/class.ilLanguage.php on line 196

All fies are present as required. Looks like something to do with the permissions. I have even give full permissions(yes) to troubleshoot. But still the same error.

Can anyone suggest what to look for?

Thanks

Hi Rajesh!

Is the zip-file OK (maybe try another download)? I would do the copying-procedure once more. And then:

- Checking rights and permissions again

- checking if the webserver works corectly (restart, checking log)

I think this can not be to much, must be a small thing with big consequences ;-)

Good luck! :-)

We are having the same issue. Was this ever resolved? And if so, how?

Thanks!

Hi,

please check the value of include_path in your php.ini.

Does it contain a "." ?

Best Regards Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Yes, it does contain a period, the value is ".:/usr/share/php"

Does this help?

Thanks - Peter

Hi there,

I get the same errors, if I try to make a fresh installation with Version 4.2.3 (german Version).

My phpinfo can be visited here.

I am using the Webhoster all-inkl.com.

Directory-Settings on FTP are www-data (recursiv) an all directorys have 755, files have 644 at the moment.

Would be very glad to get the installation running.

The problem turned out to be that ILIAS_ABSOLUTE_PATH doesn't get set properly. In setup/include/inc.setup_header.php, you will find this code:

   // PHP is running in CGI mode?
   if (isset($_SERVER["REDIRECT_STATUS"]) && !isset($_SERVER["FCGI_ROLE"]))
   {
        define
   ("ILIAS_ABSOLUTE_PATH",substr(dirname($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]),0,-6));
   }
   else
   {
        define
   ("ILIAS_ABSOLUTE_PATH",substr(dirname($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]),0,-6));
   } 

For some reason the test doesn't work correctly and the THEN gets executed instead of the ELSE, at least for us. I now manually set ILIAS_ABSOLUTE_PATH and that works fine. 

Good luck with it.

Hi Peter, thanks for your help.

I just tried that, but still not working. Can you paste your sourcecode, how it should look like? Maybe i make something wrong.

Thank you!

EDIT: OK, seems to work. I "defined" the whole part you posted before with the absolute path. Some users have the opinion, that this is not a good solution, but as i also can see, this problem exists already with Version 3.5.x, so until there is no other way, this will be the one i use.

Hi there.. :) sory about my bead englesh but you will understud me.. :) 

I just tried to install ilias e learning and I already got these errors. Now I was free to open the requested page and look for the mistake et the line 107. I was hoping to solve, but I could not. The following code you see is from setup/classes/class.ilLanguage.php from line 100 

 function ilLanguage($a_lang_key)
{
$this->lang_key = ($a_lang_key) ? $a_lang_key : $this->lang_default;
$this->lang_path = ILIAS_ABSOLUTE_PATH."/lang";
$this->cust_lang_path = ILIAS_ABSOLUTE_PATH."/Customizing/global/lang";

// set lang file...
 $txt = file($this->lang_path."/setup_lang_sel_multi.lang"); Line 107 where is code.. and error  :D

 

For me, the biggest mistake in the code that requires a certain part, which is " $this->cust_lang_path = ILIAS_ABSOLUTE_PATH."/Customizing/global/lang"; " Because when I opened the folder, " Customizing " it was empty with just one text file file. And that was README.txt

 

 took a couple of times ilias-version 4.2.3, however, everyone hash check the same meaning that has nothing to download. The Hash chek is bc2d662a0a7ba661a465352389235295 

Sow need a solution!!! 

I just came over a blog entry about this problem:

http://education2news.blogspot.de/2012_06_01_archive.html

Does anybody has created a bug report for this?

Because many people which get this error will just say Ilias is bad and try something different.

There are to parts of the problem: first that absolute_path is not defined. It is hard to prevent this in all possible combinations of server setups.

But I think the more important problem is that Ilias fails with an totally unhelpful message when absolute_path is not defined: "failed to open stream..."

There should be an extra check for absolute_path in class.ilLanguage.php that
throws a more helpful message.
