Can anyone help please.

After installing 750 to my local machine and setting up the multisite requirements e.g. folders and scripts the following error message appears.

ADONewConnection: Unable to load database driver ''


Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in h:\inetpub\wwwroot\canines\includes\pnAPI.php on line 430

I am presently running a multisite using pn723 on a non win machine with the same structure and this works fine.

I have not tried to install 750/multisite yet on the linux server yet.
(see below)

Any pointers as to what may be causing this? apache config, hosts file etc

I should also say that I access the database as user root with a blank password.


Hope someone can help

I have since tried on installing pn750 multisite enabled with the same result.
ADONewConnection: Unable to load database driver ''


Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in h:\inetpub\wwwroot\canines\includes\pnAPI.php on line 430

Help needed urgently

..what's on line 430 in pnAPI.php? I'm not all that familiar with multi-sites.. but something is possibly missing or misplaced.

I thought I was a lone voice for a minute, thanks for the reply...
I thought as multisite the module ships with the core there would be more support available alas not so.

I might say that as a single site this does not occur in mulisites PN uses the config.php in the root directory to ascertain if a personal config exists and if so where (where_is_person) if it does, then the config.php which lives in folder parameters is used to access the database etc as is the pntables.php which has been set such that certain shared files are give the sitename in hard code as opposed to $prefix.

I do hope you can assist

Much appreciated

The following are the lines in question

starting at line number # 409

/**
* Initialise DB connection
* @return bool true if successful, false otherwise
*/
function pnDBInit()
{
// Get database parameters
$dbtype = $GLOBALS['pnconfig']['dbtype'];
$dbhost = $GLOBALS['pnconfig']['dbhost'];
$dbname = $GLOBALS['pnconfig']['dbname'];
$dbuname = $GLOBALS['pnconfig']['dbuname'];
$dbpass = $GLOBALS['pnconfig']['dbpass'];
$pconnect = $GLOBALS['pnconfig']['pconnect'];

// Start connection
$GLOBALS['pndbconn'] =& ADONewConnection($dbtype);
if ($pconnect) {
$dbh =& $GLOBALS['pndbconn']->PConnect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);
} else {
$dbh =& $GLOBALS['pndbconn']->PConnect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);
}
if (!$dbh) {
//$dbpass = "";
//die("$dbtype://$dbuname:$dbpass@$dbhost/$dbname failed to connect" . $dbconn->ErrorMsg());
die("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<center>\n

}
global $ADODB_FETCH_MODE;
$ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_NUM;

// force oracle to a consistent date format for comparison methods later on
if (strcmp($dbtype, 'oci8') == 0) {
$GLOBALS['pndbconn']->Execute("alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'");
}

return true;
} [/quote]

So, this is line 429:
global $ADODB_FETCH_MODE;

and this is line 430?
$ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_NUM;

..seems odd to throw an error after the ADOdb lib has been initialized & the connection returned true.. I don't have any files in front of me, but I'm hoping Mark or someone else with experience in multisites can help you more than I can from a snippet of code..

This is line 428
$dbh =& $GLOBALS['pndbconn']->PConnect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname);

which is where the error is supposed to be:-

Error message

ADONewConnection: Unable to load database driver ''


Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/www.animalactors.tv/includes/pnAPI.php on line 428

So, this is line 429: No # 433
global $ADODB_FETCH_MODE;

and this is line 430? No #434
$ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_NUM;


Thanks again

..might be a silly question, but are persistent connections enabled in your PHP config file (php.ini)?

--
http://www.invalidresponse.com

my php.ini shows persistence to be on.


mysql.allow_persistent On On
mysql.default_host no value no value
mysql.default_password no value no value
mysql.default_port no value no value
mysql.default_socket no value no value
mysql.default_user no value no value
mysql.max_links Unlimited Unlimited
mysql.max_persistent Unlimited Unlimited

Hi, I believe I have found the answer to this problem. I have posted it here

Have resolved some issues the following has reared its ugly head, any ideas anyone?
Call to undefined function: xanthia_skins_install() in /var/www/www.animalactors.tv/modules/Xanthia/pnadminapi.php on line 1053

I am not convinced that things are what they should be, the variable $prefix in pntables.php which is set by the following:- $prefix = $pnconfig['prefix'];
does not return any value if displayed.

In which file are these variables contained?


Mgarcia

It has been some time since any help has been forthcoming on this how can I up this problem so that members of the core can assist.

Multisites was a main reason for going the way of PostNuke and for me any way is a must.

If any members of the PostNuke core team read this can I please receive a response.
