Model Missing, Codeigniter - php

I am using and have been using the framework CodeIgniter for a while. It works perfectly on my localhost, once I upload it to a server it gives the following error message
Unable to locate the model you have specified: auth_model
To point it out, it works on my apache perfectly, do you have any idea to what the problem can be? I am talking with customer support of the webbhotel, but they can't seem to find anything on their end.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: It manages to load many different files, the session library, my own controllers, helpers and view files. It just models that it stops at, I've named them all 'Auth_model.php", 'Login_model.php' etc. The models themselves are declared class Auth_model extends CI_Model {}

Sounds like a path issue,
I would first check where your starting at and get some data to compare with
CodeIgniter FCPATH and APPATH are both set in the main index.php file,
FCPATH = root
APPATH = application folder
Find out what your paths are set to, check your config/config.php file make sure you have correct info there.
Just a thought, are you using a common auth library? Sucb as freak/ion/bit/etc auth's
The session error, is being caused by echoing data you can google the error and get a decent understanding of the error from there.

As it turns out the webhotel (one.com) got a delay when you upload, hence it was a bit troublesome to actually troubleshoot it, but here it goes. Every file name except for the exception of MY_Controller needs to be in lower cases. So the answer was pointed out by some people.
The problem is with codeigniter because it looks for lower cases only in some cases. So yeah, models should be in lower cases from now on!

Codeigniter : Regular controllers are ok. HMVC controllers don't work (Page not found)

So this is the annoying kind of problem where something works perfectly on your local project, but everything breaks once deployed in production.
In this case, i can access all the pages generated by a regular codeigniter controller (situated in application/controllers). However, once i try accessing a HMVC module, i just get a codeigniter 404 error.
Situation still ok for regular controllers:
So for instance, if i have a regular controller C1 situated in application/controllers/C1.php, which contains the function page(), i can access www.mysite.com/C1/page without an issue.
Problem for accessing HMVC controllers:
However, if i want to access the controller C2 situated in application/modules/C2/controllers/C2.php, through the url www.mysite.com/C2/page, i'll get a 404 error.
And problem accessing regular controller through ajax:
A second issue appears when performing an ajax call, using a path which references a regular CI controller. The path used in the ajax call doesn't seem to be recognized, and i receive a 500 error. However, when calling the same path directly in the URL bar, the correct function seems to be executed. I had solved a similar issue before by applying the solution found in Codeigniter base_url() not working properly for ajax. However, i have not yet identified if this is the same issue.
It feels like a loader issue, but i'm no expert!
Even if it was a loader issue, why would it work on local and not on production?
Have you ever encountered something like this? Do you have an idea on how to tackle this issue?
**Edit 3: ** I removed the 2 previous edits because they are now irrelevant.
After activating the debug mode, and adding some logs, i finally found what i think to be the answer.
Long story short, my local codeigniter version runs on windows, and for some reason, when trying to reach a controller, the case is ignored. So File.php and file.php are considered the same.
My production server however runs linux, so it doesn't consider that 2 different file names refer to the same file. So i ask for file.php, and the server answer "there's no such file", because the file i actually want is File.php.
I need to turn in. I'll propose a proper answer tomorrow after running some more checks.
Thanks,
Loïc.
So the issue was not related to regular controllers versus HMVC controllers. Basically what happens is that my local dev environment is Windows, and for some reason, windows decides that the case doesn't matter when naming a file.
So file.php would be seen as the same name as File.php (notice that the first is lowercase and the second uppercase).
In my code, i was trying to get file.php (lowercase), while the actual file was named File.php and it worked, on windows.
However, in civilized operating systems File.php and file.php are considered 2 different names, and that's why suddenly things where not working in production, even though the code was the same. The controller files just could not be found.
I changed the names of my controller files (put them in lowercase) and things are working fine now.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
Loïc.
With HMVC routes need to be like
$route['something'] = "module/controller/function";
$route['something/(:any)'] = "module/controller/function/$1";
Make sure like that also when use controllers intead of welcome.php make sure controller filename like Welcome.php
When using routes if have not remove index.php from controller then url would be
With http://localhost/project/index.php/something
Without http://localhost/project/something

Zend delete model

Good day everyone.
I am frontend developer but I have to make slight adjustments in the backend, built with Zend Framework.
I have a controller CalendarController.php, and wanted to make a relative model, called Calendar. The model was instantiated as
`class Project_Model_Calendar extends Project_Model_Abstract`
in a file called Calendar, placed in Model directory.
Later on I figured out that I dont need this model, so I simply deleted it, along with only reference to it in the controller. (it was used like this
`$this->form = new Project_Model_Calendar();`
)
Apparently there is some memory cache or config file that saved this model, and tries to load it every time.
I get the following error
Zend_Session::start() Error #2 include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'Project/Model/Calendar.php' for inclusion
Why do I get this error if I dont use the model anywhere? How can I clear this cache of loaded models?
Could you please help me with it? Please forgive me for asking such unspecific questions, but I need to fix it, and Zend framework is still a mystry for me most of the time.
Including the file will probably still result in an error, even if you're not using it. Make sure it isn't hardcode included in the paths in your php.ini, httpd.conf, or .htaccess files.

Installing Zend Gdata Client library

Hi this is my first post on here. I am trying to install the Gdata Zend Client library without much success.
I have used these resources + scoured Stack Overflow.
https://developers.google.com/gdata/articles/php_client_lib
http://jeromejaglale.com/doc/php/google_calendar_api
I want to be able to add,edit etc events on google calendar via PHP. My problem/question is i really dont understand what the include_path settings are all about and how to set them in order to make the class work. Of course i checked php manual regarding this but still draw a blank.
I have downloaded the relevant class and uploaded it to my web root. In the past i would just include a class by using php include at the top of the page and this would suffice.
I am of the understanding that i need to change the php.ini file to show php where my class is. Does this mean that i have to put my class somewhere else other than the web root.
I am terribly confused about this step and i know that if i can get it installed, actually using the class should be relatively easy.
Thanks for any help.
Welcome! Your Q is about include files rather than ZF elements.
Understanding where the include setting can be made (and subsequently overridden) is an absolute key bit of information.
You need to find out where it is on the server you are working on.
echo ini_get('include_path');
Then dash off and really, really read the corresponding manual page.
Try out including a very simple file with an echo statement, and you will regain your sanity and confidence.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
Get that working then have a play with this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php
The experience how you can include a file from the same directory (not generally a good idea if that is a public webpage - inside your webroot)
Then if you want to really chase this thing down, look at where you can set this in Apache and per-directory in .htaccess files.
Finally, you can just include a file by telling include/require the exact path from the top of the tree;
include /var/www/includes/libraries/and/so/on.php;
There are SO many places you can set and override this that you are really best off finding out where the server thinks the include directory is and putting your compoenents in there:
Now, when that comes to ZF stuff, I (on Deb and Ubuntu anyhow) put the contents of
Zend Framworks version XYZ ZendFramework/lib/Zend <-that folder into:
/usr/share/php/Zend <-into this place
Then setup your autoloader and Robert is your mothers brother...
Zend/Gdata.php line 124 is like this:
public static function import($uri, $client = null,$className=’Zend_Gdata_Feed’)
Change that to this:
public static function import($uri, $client = null,$className=’Zend_Gdata_Feed’, $useObjectMapping = true)

Controller file + View exists - still throws an error online [Zend Framework]

I have my zend framework application all set up - its working fine on my localhost, recently just deployed it to a staging server. For some strange reason one specific controller isn't working at all. Its throwing the following error:
An error occurred
Page not found
Exception information:
Message: Action "index" does not exist and was not trapped in __call()
The controller file and view files are all online, no spelling errors or case errors - all other controllers are working and their actions, however this one specific controller isn't working and none of its actions are. In-fact I have noticed that whatever action I try to call off this controller I get the error station that Action index doesn't exist? Whats going on here.
For instance here's my controller file:
class HolidaysController extends App_Controller_Action {
public function indexAction() {
}
}
By any chance are you developing on a Mac or Windows machine, and deploying to a Linux server? I get tripped up like this sometimes because the standard filesystem on my Mac is not case sensitive, but it is on my Linux servers. So if I mess up in how I capitalize my controller file names, it can go undetected until I deploy to my servers.
If you think this might be the problem, log into your server (SSH or FTP) and check the capitalization of that controller's filename. If that's the issue, it can be a little tricky to fix because if you rename the file on Mac or Windows, the new capitalization doesn't necessarily get picked up when committed to a source control repository and/or uploaded to the server. The trick is to first rename the file to something else, then rename it back with exactly the capitalization you need.

Are there codeigniter controller sub-directory limits?

Greetings,
I've encountered a seemingly bizarre issue, and was wondering if anyone is able to shed a light.
I created a simple controller two levels down from the traditional /application/controllers/ directory and I'm seeing a CI-generated 404 when hitting said controller.
To elaborate, my directory structure is as follows:
/ci/application/controllers/dir1/dir2/myfile.php
The file itself has a simple function with an echo statement. When I move said file up one level such that it is located in:
/ci/application/controllers/dir1/myfile.php
It works.
I've tried changing the name of the "dir2" directory in the example above, the name of the controller, the names of the functions within the controller -- to no avail. I'm able to hit the same php file without going through the Code Igniter framework, and I'm on a Windows machine working normally so I can't imagine this to be a permissions-related issue.
I'm led to think that CI simply isn't willing to go into the controllers directory more than one level. Is this possible, or am I missing something?
Try this out: http://glennpratama.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/multi-level-subfolder-for-controller-in-codeigniter/
Basically, you need to override the default codeigniter router with your own MY_Router class
"Out of the box", Codeigniter only supports a single level directory structure for Controllers.
There are ways to extend the default Router class to enable this feature.
