Undefined variable Errors on localhost

[nothingman]

I'm getting the following errors while installing on my localhost (wamp server with its default settings). I however do not get these errors on my test site though (shared server)

Step 4 of installation:

Notice: Undefined variable: lang in C:\wamp\www\libs\Hotaru.php on line 281

Line 281 of libs\Hotaru.php is:

        if ($lang) {
            foreach($lang as $l => $text) {
                $this->lang[$l] = $text;
            }
        }
    } 

When I deliberately move on with the installation and go to the admin page, the following error message is displayed.

Notice: Undefined variable: folder in C:\wamp\www\libs\Admin.php on line 56

Line 56-63 of libs\Admin.php is:

        if ($folder) { 
            $this->folder = $folder; 
        }

        if ($entrance != 'admin') { return false; } 

        $this->adminInit($entrance);
    } 

Also, here are the database settings for hotaru_settings.php on my local machine.



Dumb question, could it because I'm on localhost? :-/

It's because you have a different version of PHP on your localhost, probably a newer one. Have a go with the 0.9 SVN branch. I've been fixing some of these errors on that branch, but there may be more.

Oh, thanks Nick. BTW, here's the server configuration on my localhost:
Apache Version: 2.2.11
PHP Version : 5.3.0
MySQL Version : 5.1.36

[Nick]

Right. We're hoping to make Hotaru compatible with PHP 5.3.0 by Christmas.

Keep an eye on the Assembla stream for updates. Unless otherwise stated, they are on 0.9:

Aight. I'm currently playing with the 0.9 trunk. I don't know if its to early and sorry for being a nit-pick but installing the plugins is taking a longg time.

[Nick]

Maybe you are having the same problems I was?

If so, try PHP 5.2.11.

[nothingman]

Perfect! Installing PHP 5.2.11 solved the slow page load (Apologies, I never even once looked at the wamp server thread as I thought I'd never need it) . Where's the Thanks button?

[Nick]

Phew! The Thanks button will be back once that vBulletin plugin has been updated for vBulletin 4 (these forums are in beta right now and a bit buggy).

You might need to edit your php.ini file for a couple of things to work. For example, remove the semi-colon before:

;extension=php_curl.dll 

And I'm having trouble with the Pligg Importer in 0.9, probably because some of those memory/upload/size settings in php.ini got reset when I changed PHP version, so look out for those. I'm off to bed.
