I went through and set things up manually, not using the script…followed the instructions in the “getting started” section…it pulls info from my database, however all that loads is text and i get an “object expected at line 38” error. I tried to bold line 38, but that doesn’t work, heh.

I’m not a javascript or a php expert by any means, can anyone give me an idea of what’s going on here?

Code: Select all

   </script>

<body onload="bodyOnload()" />

This is the section that’s giving me trouble:

I get a javascript error, object expected, and it points me here.

Thanks in advance!

Please post:

*Full* error message you’re receiving.
Your conf.ini file and index.php file.

PHP Version: 5.2.8
Webserver: Apache 2.2.11
MySQL: 5.1.30
Xataface: 1.2.2 and 1.2.3b2 both exhibit the same behavior.

The object expected error is what i see when i use IE’s built in debugger.

conf.ini

Code: Select all: `[_database]
host = “localhost”
user = “username”
password = “password”
name = “database name”
[_tables]
mytable = “mytable”`

index.php

Code: Select all: <?php require_once 'D:\path\to\xataface root\dataface-public-api.php'; df_init(__FILE__, 'http://host/path/to/xataface root'); $app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance(); $app->display(); ?>

Here is the error i’m seeing in the debugger:

Here is a view from the browser:

Does that help? Let me know if you need anything else.

Yes. That helps. Your problem is this line:

Code: Select all: df_init(__FILE__, 'http://host/path/to/xataface root');

in your index.php file. The 2nd parameter should be the URL to your xataface folder. This doesn’t look correct. It can be a relative URL or an absolute URL.

You nailed it, I fumble fingered the URL

Thanks a million!
