Problems with xataface-1.0-beta2 and librariandb-0.1.3

In order to experiment and learn more about Xataface, I thought I’d download and install the librariandb. I ran into three problems:

1) On install of librariandb, the installer is looking for directories named dataface.

This is easy enough to fix on install.php:38:

Code: Select all

$regex = '/^(x|d)ataface/';

2) After making that change, I still had some inexplicable failure to install. Checking the PHP log, I found install.php:66 tries to call opendir and it was failing on “..” since it had executable permission, but not read permission. That’s probably just some quirk unique to my installation, and I didn’t bother trying to fix it. I just changed my permissions and tried to continue.

3) When the librariandb starts up, it apparently calls df_update. The definition I have in dataface-public-api.php looks like:

Code: Select all

`function df_update(){
        import(‘actions/install.php’);
        $action = new dataface_actions_install;
        $res = $action->handle();
        if ( PEAR::isError($res) ){
                return $res;
        }

}`

and this code breaks on the call to $action->handle() since the required parameter ‘params’ is not passed in.

Unfortunately, I’m too new to Xataface to understand what should be passed in. Can someone suggest a fix so I can continue tinkering with the librariandb?

Thanks,
-Rob

p.s I just tried doing this:

Code: Select all

$no_params = array(); $res = $action->handle($no_params);

and that got me past that problem, but I’d still like to know what a “correct” change is for this as I’m just guessing. Also, while I got past that problem, I’m getting a “The page isn’t redirecting properly” in Firefox and in the URL, I can see the message, “–msg=The+database+version+is+greater+than+the+file+system+version.++Please+upgrade+your+application+to+match+the+version+in+the+database+%28version+0.1.2” which is puzzling since everything is from a clean install.

Sadly I haven’t had the opportunity to test librarian db with Xataface 1.0 beta. The last tested (stable) version would be with dataface 0.7.1.

Hopefully I can get around to testing it with the new version soon.
