Help with PHP path

[giardinociliegivideo]

I have installed Omeka Classic collection management system and it works, with the exception of a plugin which requires the PHP path, as explained here:

Edit the file so that the line now reads background.php.path = "<php path>" where the <php path> is the path provided by your hosting company or sysadmin.

Apparently, the auto-detected one doesn't work.

Can anybody help me? I cannot find this path in Altervista documentation.

I installed successfully Omeka Classic here.

Which plugin cause the error? Is one of these?


For security reasons, you can't access to the php binaries.

Dear alemoppo, thanks for your quick reply.

The plugin is Neatline, it is not part of the default installation.

Most Omeka Classic plugins work well (I could install a dozen of them), with the exception of Neatline. Neatline installs nicely, but when you create a new Neatline exhibit, it fails to execute the query by which one or more items are added to the exhibit.

I checked the documentation of Neatline for the error message I get, it says that this is due to the wrong PHP configuration path (https://omeka.org/classic/docs/Techn...ting_PHP_Path/), but my feeling is that the limitation you mention may keep this plugin from working at all...

Thanks Agains

It's strange that it need the php path.

I just create a new Neatline exhibit: http://alemoppo.altervista.org/LABS/...line/show/test



But probably i missed something, can you please explain how to reproduce the error? Thank you.

Bye!

To reproduce the error, click the ImportItems link in the panel (just create an empty test item beforehand), then use any of the available ways to add items to it (by item number, by collection, etc). When you execute the query (Import items button), you should get the error.





Thanks!

To reproduce the error, just select the ImportItems function (just create an empty test item), then use any of the available ways to add items to it (by item number, by collection, etc), when you execute the query (Import items button), you should get the error.





Thanks!

I'm sorry but you can't use that on AlterVista.

I see in the code that it would launch a background process:

private static function _fork($command)
{
   exec("$command > /dev/null 2>&1 &");
} 

Altervista is a service for hosting a site. It is not possible to launch processes or other things on the operating system side.

Bye!

Thanks, I suspected it was not possibile. Anyway, for all those who plan to use Altervista to run Omeka, I can say that my test installation works well, and supports most plugins - with the exception of Neatline and CSV import (Neatline Time, for example, is supported, and so are Geolocation, so you basically have all the tools bundled into Neatline).
