Question

require_once of certain file works on local windows, not on dev linux machine

Answer 1

+1 A:

"No error logs" is something that should be fixed! Check your php configuration (the php;ini file). Is the log_errors setting set to on?

Thanks for the heads up! It actually wasn't on. I've turned it on and checked out the logs but there is nothing there other than some missing images. Any ideas?

Check your error_reporting setting is set to -1 . Explanation here : http://fr.php.net/manual/fr/function.error-reporting.php

I set it, and output the setting right before just to make sure it's -1, and there are still no errors reported in the log for it. If I take out the require_once, the second print will print. This is very bizarre.

Use the trigger_error() with different levels as second argument and make sure every error message is logged... and check whether your error_log setting, it should tell to which file PHP errors are logged (missing images are perhaps only apache 404 errors, no php involved)

Hi there, thanks for working with me. I just tested E_USER_NOTICE, E_USER_WARNING, and E_USER_WARNING. Any other ideas? It's very strange that the .phar file would be included on my windows machine but not on my linux and not throw an error. BTW my windows machine is running php 5.3, my linux 5.3.2 - not that it should make a difference though...

Hi, I tried this piece of code on my server `<?php require_once('nonexistant_file.php');` , and I get a warning and a fatal error. Check you get the same thing in your log file. BTW, you said you tested some levels, but you did not specify the results, are they positive? I mean, do you get error messages in your log file? Also, check you get "Syntax Ok" when running the command `apache2ctl -t`

Hi Greg, I did see the errors in my log file. I ended up uninstalling apache, php, mysql, memcache, and apc - then reinstalling and rewriting the configuration files - and then cloning everything to my production. That has solved the problem. However, I still don't know why I was getting the error I did. I changed things around a bit with regards to my hosts file and how I'm serving up the content - perhaps that's what did it. Thanks so much for trying to help me though.
