Instalation seemed OK, but

[lrobinson378]

I installed Joomla 1.5 and it went fine until I clicked on "Site" button. Then all I saw was messages similar to this:

Strict Standards: Non-static method JText::_() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in C:\xampp\htdocs\Joomla15\administrator\templates\khepri\login.php on line 66

All the messages with "Strict Standards:" and ended with a line number.

Assuming you are on windows, xampp defaults to reporting all errors, warnings, and notices. The recommended setting in php.ini which is found in the xampp\php\ folder is:

Code: Select all

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

You may need to stop and restart apache for it to take effect.

Thanks, That did the trick.

Hi,
I am a Joomla and PHP newbie , experienced in other languages

I got the same problem and I have tried to fix it both in the
a) /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
b) <project folder>/configuration.php

I do restart the server each time I make a change to the configuration

Still not winning

a) It appears that some components and modules overwrite an E_ALL on a component level and the strict warnings come from these components
- this looks like components using PHP in a non-OO way
is there a way to use a non OO PHP/Joomla
- must hundreds of these be manually changed?
- how can I set them to a single value e.g.
#define ERROR_LEVEL = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
- should I be using E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
or error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE | E_STRICT
or error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT

b) Joomla seems to go recursive - it has blown up to 256Mb memory on this error !!!!!
- surely there is an easy way to limit the stacktrace depth??
- options of limiting message length dont seem to work
ignore_repeated_errors = On
ignore_repeated_errors = Off
log_errors_max_len = 2048

c) The code is downloaded from a live running site as a zip + mysql dump,
- what could go wrong in the download to cause this?
- what could go wrong in the configuration of the server?


your help much appreciated
Chris

Sorry, I am a complete novice, but how do you make the changes above. I found the php.ini-development and php.ini-production file. Which do I open and do I opne them in notepad to edit them?

[laura3gsd]

You should also have a php.ini file. Open with notepad, use 'find' and type error_reporting

Bypass this one:
; error_reporting
; Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
; Development Value: E_ALL | E_STRICT
; Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

and click next to find this one:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

Making sure it says as above after the =
If you don't have a php.ini, something's wrong! Mine is right above the two you listed, php.ini development; and production. Hope that helps.
