"Cannot instantiate non-existent class: sid"

beanman1

I am trying to install an application on my web space. (RPG Web Profiler from http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpgwebprofiler)

I've followed through with the instructions on the Install file, but
I keep getting the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: sid in /homepages/24/d192811602/htdocs/NYbN/profiler/index.php on line 27

(You can see the error yourself @ www.profiler.nybn.org)

Lines 26-31 of the code read:

// Attempt to respawn a session.
$sid = new sid();
if ($sid->IsSessionValid()) {
draw_page('login_forward.php');
} else {
draw_page('index.php');
}

Line 27 being "$sid = new sid();"

Could anyone possably shed some light on this error for me? Thank you.

As the error message explains, PHP couldn't find any class definition for "sid" so it doesn't know what you're trying to do.

Out of boredom, I downloaded the app from Sourceforge and noted this line:

include_once("$INCLUDE_PATH/engine/sid.class.php");

Now personally, I would've made that a require_once(), but shrug not my app.

Either way, make sure it's finding all of the files it needs. Turn error_reporting up to E_ALL if you haven't already.

$INCLUDE_PATH is defined in the config.php file.

Here's what the config.php file reads:

<?php
  // config.php

  // Define the include path where all external files are located.
  $INCLUDE_PATH = '../root_profiler';

  define ('INCLUDE_PATH',$INCLUDE_PATH);
?>

The subdomain profiler.nybn.org points to folder X. The folder 'root_profiler' is in folder X.

Is this just a problem of the config.php file not pointing to the right area, or is it something more complex?
