I just attempted an install of Open Journal and got this message when attempting to complete the install by logging in.
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /Library/Apache2/htdocs/review/include/session.inc.php on line 109
I'm on Mac OS X running PHP 4.3.2 and MySQL 4.0.15, having renamed my open journal directory to "review" as noted in the error message above.
Any thoughts on where to start troubleshooting?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi,
I believe I know what the problem is. Mac OS X typically uses a case-insensitive filesystem and it looks like it is including the "DB.php" file from the PHP PEAR library rather than the file "db.php" under the include subdirectory of the OJS directory.
You should be able to resolve this by editing include/common.php in your OJS directory and changing this line:
to
This will put "<ojs_home>/include" at the start of the include path used by OJS rather than at the end so that the correct file will be included.

Kevin,
Thanks for your prompt response. I made the change you suggested to the common.php file, and got a new error as follows:
Parse error: parse error in /Library/Apache2/htdocs/review/include/common.php on line 30
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _tr() in /Library/Apache2/htdocs/review/login.php on line 37
Is this progress, or evidence that your hunch was wrong
Thanks again...
Bill
