dir(includes/templates/classic/index) NO such file or directory. Stacktrace.

[tzre]

Hi,

doing a fresh install of 1.3.9h on unix (same works ok on windows).

Installation is successful without any problem, but when i load the frontend i get a huge myDebug...log in /cache/ on each page request. (page appears to load/appear fine in the browser).


Extract from myDebug:

[03-Aug-2011 20:46:19] PHP Warning:  dir(includes/templates/classic/index) [<a href='function.dir'>function.dir</a>]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /path/www.mydomain.com/includes/classes/template_func.php on line 58

You're only seeing that because you've got debug addon tools enabled which show "warning" details with stacktraces.

The code is simply looking for whether that folder exists and will take action if it finds something there. In your case since you're not using any of the override capability it's moot, and you can safely ignore those warnings.

Ok, so does this mean that when there will be a real problem it will be buried in a 4000 line warning log, or it will show up normally into apache_error_log ?

[DrByte]

What you're seeing is NOT normal. It's a consequence of YOUR php configuration.
NONE of those errors would appear if you weren't using the extra stacktrace tool you've got installed in your PHP configuration.

If you don't like the logs being generated, you can turn them off by deleting the /includes/extra_configures/enable_error_logging.php file from your site.

The errors are suppressed by an @ prefix anyway, so you shouldn't be seeing any of them.

Right, @dir, roger! Panic time over, thank you doctor!
