Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException'

[abr4xas]

Hi there,

I'm testing pico Version 1.0.0-beta.1 and:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'Required "404.md" not found' in /var/www/pico/lib/Pico.php:670 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/pico/lib/Pico.php(293): Pico->load404Content('/var/www/pico/c...') #1 /var/www/pico/index.php(17): Pico->run() #2 {main} thrown in /var/www/pico/lib/Pico.php on line 670

My config.php

/*
 * CONTENT
 */
 $config['date_format'] = '%D %T';            // Set the PHP date format as described here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php
 $config['pages_order_by'] = 'alpha';         // Order pages by "alpha" or "date"
 $config['pages_order'] = 'asc';              // Order pages "asc" or "desc"
 $config['content_dir'] = 'content/';  // Content directory
 $config['content_ext'] = '.md';              // File extension of content files to serve

Do you have a file called 404.md in your content/ directory @abr4xas?

[abr4xas]

@theshka yes sir

[theshka]

I do not receive this error unless I delete my 404.md from the content-sample directory, so I'm not sure why if you have the file there that it would be throwing the exception.

Can you double-check these things:

• Do you have a base_url set in config/config.php, or is what you posted the only portion of your config you have customized?
• Do you have the right permissions set on your custom content/ directory? (i.e. 755)
• Do you have a YAML header in the 404.md file?
• Do you have URL rewriting enabled or disabled?

  • My base_url is tma.local/pico
• Do you have the right permissions set on your custom content/ directory? (i.e. 755)
  • Yes
• Do you have a YAML header in the 404.md file? This is my 404.md

Pico isn't able to find the content dir you specified. Is your config.php located in Picos root dir or in config/config.php?

[abr4xas]

@PhrozenByte in config/

[PhrozenByte]

Can you please give me the output of the page when adding

var_dump($this->config, file_exists($this->getConfig('content_dir') . '404.md')); die();

to a new line before line 354 of lib/Pico.php? Please don't forget to remove the line afterwards.

The content directory /var/www/pico/content/ doesn't exist. Please check your installation directory.

[abr4xas]

The content directory exist

https://github.com/picocms/Pico/issues/279#issuecomment-157915148

[PhrozenByte]

PHP unmistakable states that the directory /var/www/pico/content/ either doesn't exist (scandir(/var/www/pico/content): failed to open dir: No such file or directory - i.e. your screenshot doesn't show /var/www/pico) or isn't visible to the PHP process.

This is a misconfiguration of your webserver. Please check your webserver configuration (this issue is completely independent of Pico) and make sure that the directory is accessible by your webserver/PHP process. Unfortunately the configuration of webservers is out of our scope. Sorry :disappointed:

[abr4xas]

thanks, folder permissions were changed.

@theshka @PhrozenByte A goot point here, we maybe should dispatch a message when the permissions are wrong but the directory exists.

Want a PR on this ?

[PhrozenByte]

The problem weren't wrong permissions of the content dir, but of Pico's root dir - otherwise the message would have been Permission denied, not No such file or diectory.

[dav-m85]

My bad. You're right.
