Local installation

Post by Rincewind » Wed Nov 30, 2016 02:21 UTC

Hey TMD,

just trying to set this up locally on my mac. So far I've gotten the game to install, created the universe..
but I get these warnings:

Code: Select all

and when I try to log in I get:

Any ideas what could be wrong?

It seems like ADODB is having issues due to it being old, which is why we really wanted to move away from using it, we did start to move over to PHP PDO before development stopped.

And due to issues in ADODB it failed to create the bnt_sessions table.

I am unable to test it myself due to not owning a mac, also I have not long rebuilt my PC and re-installed Windows 10 which now boots up Windows 7 in 2 to 4 seconds :shock: so I cannot even look at any code.

One thing I forgot to ask was, do you have the empty file in your bnt root directory called "dev" (without the quotes), if so remove it and re-run the database and see if it creates the tables etc.

This is due to PHP STRICT Standards being turned on and ADODB is very old including our bad code :P

Hey, thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately, was not able to resolve the issue. 'dev' file was not there to begin with, and any subsequent tries to re-install and changing details didn't yield better results.

Funny thing is, the creation of the universe says 'Creating session table' 'Passed' as seen here:

Code: Select all

Dropping all tables	Failed
Hover over the failed line to see the error.

Erm what code are you using?
Is it the SVN Codebase or a file download?

Ok, bnt-0.55 or bnt-0.66 ?

If its bnt-0.66, try 0.55 and see if that works, I know its old, just wanted to see what issues popup for that version.

But before you try the other version, try the fix in my next reply below...

Ok, I have a quick fix that will resolve those several static warnings, but you may see other errors / warnings and notices in other places, so be prepared.

open up file backends/adodb/session/adodb-session.php around line 451, you will see the following lines of code:

Code: Select all

    function _init() {
        session_module_name('user');
        session_set_save_handler(
            array('ADODB_Session', 'open'),
            array('ADODB_Session', 'close'),
            array('ADODB_Session', 'read'),
            array('ADODB_Session', 'write'),
            array('ADODB_Session', 'destroy'),
            array('ADODB_Session', 'gc')
        );
    }
change it to the following:

Code: Select all

    function _init() {
        session_module_name('user');
        session_set_save_handler(
            array($this, 'open'),
            array($this, 'close'),
            array($this, 'read'),
            array($this, 'write'),
            array($this, 'destroy'),
            array($this, 'gc')
        );
    }
 
Then go to around line 919 and you should see the following lines:

Code: Select all

ADODB_Session::_init();
if (empty($ADODB_SESSION_READONLY))
 
Change that line to the following lines:

Code: Select all

$handler  = new ADODB_Session();
$handler->_init();

if (empty($ADODB_SESSION_READONLY))
Let me know what errors you have now and did it create the sessions table?

Reason: Had to add an extra change of code in, but it will probably break some other place :(

A thing to be aware of is that ADOdb is very old now and due to the nature of PHP being upgraded to newer versions things stop working, like you can see in ADOdb, so be prepared for more issues in that library.

Like I have said in other posts previously I am not a fan of doing fixes for other peoples code / projects / libraries etc.

The reason being it takes up my time and becomes an issue when the original owner of said library does an update, due to I have to then keep track of all the changes that I have done and re-do them in the newer version if needed.
