[Arcade 2.6 RC1] - Fatal Error

[dugganc]

I am using SMF 2.0.9 along with Arcade 2.6 RC1. Installation went successful, no edits or emulating required. I was able to upload games without error through the uploader. Everything appears to working just fine -- except actually opening the games ..

'Game' folder CHMOD is 755


Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/content/55/8677755/html/smf/Sources/' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5_3/lib/php') in /home/content/55/8677755/html/smf/Sources/ArcadeGame.php on line 114


I'm not certain what other information may be helpful in this case, but I'll give what I can.

Hi dugganc and welcome.

"require once" means that either some of the code is missing or you may have duplicate code...if you have installed it more than once. Keep in mind that just because you install a mod and did not get any errors doesn't mean everything went smoothly. This depends on the server settings of the hosting. But it seems as though something is missing and perhaps all of the arcade files or code was not installed.

Hmmm, also please make sure all other folders and files for smf and the arcade are correct.

However, the "(include_path='.:/usr/local/php5_3/lib/php')" part relates to php on the server and could be a server issue.

I have only installed it once; I never completed previous attempts to install the other SMF arcade packages prior to your updates because they all required source file editing which I wanted to avoid at the time for that particular install ..

Seems there are a couple missing files, marked in red. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling the arcade package -- but I have a feeling if it is something serverside as you're suggesting that I may see the same results.

What other files would I verify? Is it the CHMOD you're referring to for them as well?

Hmm .. Another bit of clicking .. Think I found a possible culprit following this thought ..



Ok - so what I'll try:
- forum backup
- uninstall arcade
- forum backup
- reinstall 2.0.9 upgrade
- forum backup
- reinstall arcade

As far as the missing files go, they are all there. I checked the folder on my PC that I made the zip with, the zip that I that I uploaded to the downloads and I also redownloaded it just now from this site and checked and all files are there. It is possible that something happened when you were downloading it. I suggest you open the zip you downloaded and see if the files are missing or not. If they are missing then please download it again.

You don't show which file(s) are at v2.0.8 but since the error points to the /Sources folder that could possibly be the problem.

However, if you have other mods installed, reinstalling the upgrade will remove any code your mods installed to the smf files and they may not work properly, if at all.

EDIT: BTW, if those files are missing on your server you can just upload them manually before you do your forum upgrade to see if that helps.

Just to update on the forums here; as per our email exchange; all working now. Yay!
