"No such file or directory..." Error

[Dan Clark]

I've given up on Mosso and switched to a 1&1 account for testing ImpEx. The good news is that everything set up very quickly. The bad news is that now I'm getting the following error when I click on "Import --> Import":

Warning: main(/homepages/37/d250240633/htdocs/content/forums/talkfestool_migrationtest/impeximpex/impex_language.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/37/d250240633/htdocs/content/forums/talkfestool_migrationtest/impex/index.php on line 47

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/homepages/37/d250240633/htdocs/content/forums/talkfestool_migrationtest/impeximpex/impex_language.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /homepages/37/d250240633/htdocs/content/forums/talkfestool_migrationtest/impex/index.php on line 47

I rechecked the ImpExConfig.php file and all of the entries look OK. I think this might be a permissions problem, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan.

p.s., attached is a screen shot showing the directory structure and the impex folder with the impex_language.php file highlighted (i.e., it does exist).

It looks like it is the dir name, as it's putting impex in twice :

'/homepages/37/d250240633/htdocs/content/forums/talkfestool_migrationtest/impeximpex/impex_language.php'

Though it doesn't look that way from the gif.

language entry in ImPexConfig.php

This is bizarre. Here is the language entry:

$impexconfig['system']['language'] ='impex/impex_language.php'

When I deleted the folder name, the entry looks like this:

$impexconfig['system']['language'] ='/impex_language.php';

This time, when I clicked install, it prompted me to "Enter Customer Number" (See attached image.)

When I clicked "Continue", it flashed a message and then redirected quickly back to the enter customer number prompt. (Note that there is no error logging that I can find.)

After several tries, I was able to capture this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at
/homepages/37/d250240633/htdocs/content/forums/talkfestool_migrationtest/impex/ImpExConfig.php:57)
in
/homepages/37/d250240633/htdocs/content/forums/talkfestool_migrationtest/impex/impex_auth.php on line 23

Successful
Redirecting

It looks like some sort of path issue. Any suggestions?

The default is this :

$impexconfig['system']['language']        = '/impex_language.php'; 

You don't have to change it.

Strange config file

Jerry,

Hi. The config file I had DID have
'impex/impex_language.php' as the default. There were other differences too, but I'm not sure why.

I re-downloaded a fresh set of ImpEx files, corrected the config file, and then reuploaded. ImpEx now looks like it's running correctly.

I've got some import problems, but no error messages. At least it runs end-to-end. I'll start working on the import problems tomorrow.

Thanks for the help!

Regards,

Dan.

Success

Jerry,

Again, thanks for the help. When I had the correct version of the ImpExconfig.php file, I was able to successfully run a test import. It looks like I'm over the hump at least for now.

Regards,

Dan.

Good to know

99% of after import questions and issues are sorted by these steps too :

"After the Import" Is Mis-named.

Jerry,

Regarding the "After the Import" step, one thing you may want to consider is renaming this section. The problem is that the name of this section implies the the import is complete and that this section MAY be useful. I would argue that "After the Import" is PART OF the Import and not AFTER the Import.

You mentioned that that "99% of after import questions and issues are sorted by these steps too". I.e., if 99% of the import question and issues are resolved by doing this step, that implies that people aren't implementing this step. .

I would suggest calling this step something like "Import Final Processing" and stating in bold that the step is mandatory and the final portion of the Import.

Dan.

Very valid point, I think I will change that as the steps are mandatory for every import, cheers.
