I meet with a fatal error when I am developing my website:

failed to open stream: No such file or directory


Details (code):

PHP Code:

<?php  /// Moodle Configuration File

unset($CFG);

$CFG->dbtype    = 'mysql';
$CFG->dbhost    = 'localhost';
$CFG->dbname    = 'moodle';
$CFG->dbuser    =&#8217;     ’;
$CFG->dbpass    =&#8217;    ’;
$CFG->dbpersist =  xxxx;
$CFG->prefix    = &#8216;   ';

$CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://localhost/moodle';
$CFG->dirroot   = 'D:\xampp\htdocs\moodle';
$CFG->dataroot  = 'D:\xampp/moodledata';
$CFG->admin     = 'admin';

$CFG->directorypermissions = xxxx;  // try xxxx  on a server in Safe Mode

$CFG->passwordsaltmain = '&;l(~,Anx6fRxn;

require_once("$CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php");
// MAKE SURE WHEN YOU EDIT THIS FILE THAT THERE ARE NO SPACES, BLANK LINES,
// RETURNS, OR ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THE TWO CHARACTERS ON THE NEXT LINE.
?>

Please help me to solve it, thank you!

Warning: main(D:\xampp\htdocs\moodle/lib/setup.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/student/ting/Sites/htdocs/moodle/config.php on line 22

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'D:\xampp\htdocs\moodle/lib/setup.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/lib/php') in /Users/student/ting/Sites/htdocs/moodle/config.php on line 22

Make sure the files and the path exists.

This is a windows path

D:\xampp\htdocs\moodle/lib/setup.php

This is a unix path:

/Users/student/ting/Sites/htdocs/moodle/config.php

They are not compatible as it.
It means that you have developed something on a windows machine and uploaded it on an unix server, and not checked the path(s) in your code.

You must either include a different file if you are on dev or prod, or use a relative path based on the

PHP Code:

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] 


variable.

Hi, thank you all for your reply.

Hi Tripy, I don't know where to put this code.

PHP Code:
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

I got no idea of editing code because I am just a newbie. Could you please explain to me? I am grateful for your help.

With this code:

$CFG->dirroot = 'D:\xampp\htdocs\moodle';
$CFG->dataroot = 'D:\xampp/moodledata';

You are indicating that the files are located in a the 'xampp' folder on your 'D' drive (on a Windows system). However, when you run the script certain files that need to be included are searched for in this folder, and not found. Consequently, there is an error indicating that required files could not be found. So you need to change these directory references to the correct ones. From the error it appears that your script is located at:

/Users/student/ting/Sites/htdocs/

(a UNIX path, not Windows).

So try changing the aforementioned variables to:

$CFG->dirroot = '/Users/student/ting/Sites/htdocs/moodle';
$CFG->dataroot = '/Users/student/ting/Sites/htdocs/moodledata';

That might work...

<?php /// Moodle Configuration File

unset($CFG);

$CFG->dbtype = 'mysql';
$CFG->dbhost = 'localhost';
$CFG->dbname = 'moodle';
$CFG->dbuser = 'xxx';
$CFG->dbpass = 't';
$CFG->dbpersist = false;
$CFG->prefix = 'mdl_';

$CFG->wwwroot = 'http://localhost/moodle';
$CFG->dirroot = 'D:\xampp\htdocs\moodle';
$CFG->dataroot = 'D:\xampp\moodledata';
$CFG->admin = 'admin';

$CFG->directorypermissions = ; // try on a server in Safe Mode

$CFG->passwordsaltmain = '&;Zl(~,An#[w[=%';

require_once("$CFG->dirroot/lib/setup.php");
// MAKE SURE WHEN YOU EDIT THIS FILE THAT THERE ARE NO SPACES, BLANK LINES,
// RETURNS, OR ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THE TWO CHARACTERS ON THE NEXT LINE.

No, as paul.h told you, you need to modify your config file to match your server.
The offending lines are

PHP Code:

$CFG->wwwroot   = 'http://localhost/moodle';
$CFG->dirroot   = 'D:\xampp\htdocs\moodle';
$CFG->dataroot  = 'D:\xampp\moodledata'; 


who are fine for your development environment, but not for the productive one.

There is no D: drive on the server!
