Simple Invoices - Forum

note, im not running apache as I dont need it
aslo It has no problems creating files in the cache folder as it has full access

thanks malboeuf for the info

reports is built using phpreports.sf.net code

i've never seen this issue before - shouldn't be writing any files to the web root

we've modified the phpreports code to use ./tmp/cache or ./cache (depending on your version) as its cache dir so should be OK

anyone else seen this issue?

try the test on the test webserver and see where it writes to - let us know how you go

cheers

on my test server its writing to tmp folder, I'm going to look over all the file permissions on both servers windows/php folders and post back later

Thanks Malboeuf for the update

let me know how you go with the permissions - hopefully we can sort this issue out

Cheers

Hello everyone,

Sorry for bumping this topic. I'm having the exact same difficulties. Simple Invoices tries to store the XML file here: /var/tmp/ instead of /tmp/. I'm using version 2009.1 of Simple Invoices.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced.

Kind regards, starscream

Anyone?

hey starscream

grep the library/phpreports directory for /var/tmp

as far as i remember i tried to change everythign to ./tmp/cache

if you find in the phpreports code where it points to /var/tmp please let us know so we can fix this

sorry - don't have a better solution at the moment for this :(

cheers

I found a solution for this problem! Not sure why it's sending it to /var/tmp, couldn't find it anywhere.

function getPHPReportsTmpPath(){
$sPath = tempnam(null,"check");
unlink($sPath);
return realpath(dirname($sPath));
}
This function getPHPReportsTmpPath() returned: "/user/home/username/domains/domain.com/public_html/simpleinvoices"

I've changed the return statement therefor to:
return realpath(dirname($sPath)) . '/tmp';

Now, the error is gone for all reports! But this is a quick and dirty fix, because this function is doing something wrong, but not on all servers. I think it's the tempnam() function, that isn't returning anything for me... Is it returning anything on your server?

thanks!

if you can find the real solution please check it into svn

cheers
