issue with php.exe and with logging.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tried dedimania-plugin with windows and ran to problems.

obviously i didn't read properly first time, i forgot to include php.exe to 
phpPath, this means the program started the folder over and over again.
I think it woulde be good to have a check like is_file($phpPath) and if not 
then just close program with error... or autosense php executable...

ok, got it fixed (opening the folder over and over again), then i ran into 
problems with Logger.php, see details...

config.ini
;------------------
; ManiaLive
;------------------

; the default path is 'php.exe' on windows and 'php' on linux
 phpPath = f:\trackmania_dedicated\xampp\php\php.exe

; the default is %application%/logs
 logsPath = f:\trackmania_dedicated\sn12\mlLog

; whether to write console output into a file, default is Off
; runtimeLog = On

ERRORS:

seems like there is a bug in the logger, will take a closer look.

The problem looks like to be in the configuration loader.
Have you tried to quote the value in your ini file. Because the \ char could be 
at the base of this problem. Your config file should looks like:

;------------------
; ManiaLive
;------------------

; the default path is 'php.exe' on windows and 'php' on linux
 phpPath = 'f:\trackmania_dedicated\xampp\php\php.exe'

; the default is %application%/logs
 logsPath = 'f:\trackmania_dedicated\sn12\mlLog'

; whether to write console output into a file, default is Off
; runtimeLog = On

I tried with hyphens with no luck, i tried also replacing backslashes with 
slashes --> like unix style, it says the same.

allright. here it is:

i'm running windows 7 64bit with latest paches.
Trackmania dedicated is located at f:\trackmania_dedicated\sn12\
manialive is directly extracted to f:\trackmania_dedicated\sn12\
xampp is the latest beta with default settings:
xampp-win32-1.7.4-beta4-VC6.7z

run.bat
---------
@echo off
set INSTPHP=f:\trackmania_dedicated\xampp\php\

; Threading
;------------------

; threading can improve performance of your application. it
; allows modules to push blocking work onto another processes,
; this can also improve stability, because timeouts or
; unexpected exceptions do not impact the main application.

; if you have stability problems try to deactivate threading first
threading.enabled = true

; how long may a thread be busy until it is killed
; threading.busy_timeout = 20

; how long, if not busy, may it take for a thread to response to a ping
; threading.ping_timeout = 2

; how many jobs should be send on each loop.
; increasing this value will boost jobs/time
; decreasing it will result in a reaction time improvement.
; threading.chunk_size = 10

; if threading is disabled, then how much time should be spend on
; each application loop to process work that would have been assigned
; to other threads normally
; default value is 1 second.
; threading.sequential_timeout = 1

; ManiaHome
;------------------

; enabling the maniahome feature allows other modules to send
; notifications about eg. records or other actions on your
; server to player's friends.

; disabled by default.
; maniahome.enabled = true

; maniahome.password = ''

; maniahome.manialink = ''

still can't reproduce. I am using php 5.3.4 and your config.ini
can you send me your php.ini please? [forgot to ask]
what php version is included in the package? (On the xampp website they say 
5.3.4, correct?)
thanks!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

yes, php version is indeed 5.3.4
and ini-files can be downloaded from: 
http://koti.mbnet.fi/reaby/manialive/php.ini.zip
(will propably remove the download in some point at future)
