Fatal Error during install

[thedeepfriedboot]

I get the fatal error below right after telling ArchOS to fresh install. This has happened every time I tired using freshly pulled files from the git repository and a fresh SQL database.

Error Code:"Fatal error: Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object in /home/tdfb/public_html/ieee/lib/functions.php on line 7"

could you tell me what's on line 7 of that file? the file in git doens't say anything about Execute() in that file.

[thedeepfriedboot]

This is the standard functions.php that I got off the repository about 20 min ago. I was just following the standard install.php. I pulled line 7 from /lib/functions.php and its copied below.

" $result = $db->Execute($query);"

[chrwei]

ah, I see it now, the line numbering is messed up in the source browser.

that has to do with the database class. do you have mysql extension enabled?

[thedeepfriedboot]

I am not sure, how would I check for that? I am running other installs such as WordPress, SMF forums, ect using my SQL server and I have full control over the SQL server.

[thedeepfriedboot]

I am talking with a friend right now and he wants to know what file is $db initiated from. He is looking at the code and he thinks a line might be missing.

[chrwei]

should be from init.php, might depend on at which step it fails.

and just to be as clear as possible, when you say "my SQL server" you do mean the MySQL brand right? currently it is the only sql server supported (though patches to support more are most welcome)

[thedeepfriedboot]

Ya, its a MySQL server.

Anyway, if you want, I could take screen shots of each step of the install to help diagnose the problem. I have been poking around but unfortunately I am not sure whats wrong. Is there something else I should try?

[thedeepfriedboot]

I just tried the reinstall again and got the error below: " Fatal error: Class 'PHPMailer' not found in /home/tdfb/public_html/ieee/lib/email.class.php on line 3

Fatal error: Call to undefined function adonewconnection() in /home/tdfb/public_html/ieee/init.php on line 32 "

something isn't working right at all on your server, it's like includes arne't processing. what php version, and can you send me your init.php file contents in a private message? you can also try turning on an error log in your php.ini, and set the error level to E_ALL.

Same problem here: PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object in /var/.../.../lib/functions.php on line 7, referer: http://.websitename.org/install/install.php

Can you please post the solution to the deepfriedboot's problem so I can see if it is the same as my own?

[chrwei]

I never got a response, so i have no idea what the issues is. If you can send me the same info i asked for i can take a look.

[chrwei]

actually I went looking, I did get a response. problem was possibly 2 part, using a URL where a local path is required, and some possible file permissions or shared hosting restriction that never got pinned down. there were things I asked about that didn't get answered, so i still don't know the exact problem.

jekhor, make sure you're not using a URL where a local path is expected. I'd need to see your init.php file contents to be of any more help. You may send it to me in a private message.
