Hello,

I'm trying to get a source tar.gz of NetMRG built and running on my Gentoo Linux machine so I can use it at work and make an ebuild for the Gentoo community.

netmrg-0.18.2 builds without blatant errors. Unfortunately, my /usr/local/etc/netmrg.xml file doesn't seem to be getting read properly. When I go to http://localhost/netmrg, I get the following error:

Warning: main(/webfiles/images/default/imagespec.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/var/www/netmrg/include/config.php on line 75

This, I believe, is being caused by the fact that my fileroot GLOBAL isn't being set properly at line 1289 (or close to that line. I may have modified that file in testing) in lib/processing.php:

$GLOBALS["netmrg"]["fileroot"] = $xmlconfig["NETMRG"][0]["PATHS"][0]["WEBFILEROOT"][0]["VALUE"];

I can code a little, and I've done some `print` testing at various points, and none of the .xml file config vars are getting populated correctly, but I receive no XML or PHP errors on the web page or in my apache2 logs.

Here is my software environment:

Any ideas??

How modularized is PHP in Gentoo? I know on other distributions, we need a package similar to 'php-xml.' Does something like this exist for Gentoo as well?

No. There is a dev-php/phpxmlrpc, but that is not what we're looking for, I think.

I've watched the PHP build process on my Gentoo machine, and it configures with --with-xml.

First order of business is to locate the include/config.php file and verify that the $prefix variable is correct, and that the $GLOBALS["netmrg"]["xmlfile"] points to the correct file with your configured prefix.

Next is to check the syntax of your xml config file. On my linux boxes, I have a command called xmlwf that will check if your xml file is 'well formed.' It's usually called something like the following:

1.) $prefix = "/usr/local";
2.) $GLOBALS["netmrg"]["xmlfile"] = "${prefix}/etc/netmrg.xml";
(and that is correct)

3.) # xmlwf /usr/local/etc/netmrg.xml
/usr/local/etc/netmrg.xml:23:14: not well-formed (invalid token)

BINGO! This should be in the install doc somewhere. I kept thinking this might be the problem last night, but I wasn't sure because I didn't know how to verify the xml file.

Thanks! It works now!
