Can't inherit abstract function Creator

[Nerymon]

Hi :)
at first: my english isn't very good, sorry x.x
I hope you can understand my problem

I installed the mysidia script some minutes ago... I'm so happy that I found this script because I'm not good in php programming ^^"

I've finished the installion and wanted to open my site, but every time I get this message:

Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function Creator::create() (previously declared abstract in UserCreator) in /var/www/vhosts/monfreaks.de/httpdocs/ado/classes/abstract/abstract_usercreator.php on line 3

I already checked the abstract_usercreator.php... but I have no idea what's the problem. Maybe anyone can help? :<

thanks in advance!

What is your PHP version? If it is PHP 5.2, you need to upgrade.

[Nerymon]

thanks for your fast answer... my current PHP Version is 5.3.3.

[Hall of Famer]

I see... Actually you will get this error so long as you aint using PHP 5.3.9 or above. There's a simple way of fixing the error, this support ticket should explain everything clear enough:

Note the reason why I asked you whether you were using PHP 5.3 is that the simple fix only works for users running PHP 5.3+. If you have PHP 5.2, you will eventually get into other issues that are difficult to resolve.

thanks again :)

I found the class_visitorcreator.php and removed the 'extends UserCreator' part.
But I can't find the class_usercreator.php in my classes folder. there is just a "classes_uservalidator.php".. or did it mean the abstract_usercreator.php?

I also tried the thing with the .htaccess but it changed nothing.

Update:
I still not found the class_usercreator.php, but class_membercreator.php
so I tried to remove the "extends UserCreator" part from class_visitorcreator.php and class_membercreator.php

but nothing happens... it seems that I'm doing something wrong :/
I have no idea. the installation worked perfectly :displeased:

umm I see, weird this usually fixes the problem. Now give a try to remove the 'implements Creator' part in file abstract_usercreator.php.

[Nerymon]

okay, first I tried to remove just the 'implements Creator' part from the abstract_usercreator.php... but nothing happens... so I also removed the 'extends UserCreator' parts from the class_membercreator.php and class_visitorcreator.php again

now I get this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method VisitorCreator::getidentity() in /var/www/vhosts/monfreaks.de/httpdocs/ado/classes/class_visitorcreator.php on line 11

I already checked the class_visitorcreator.php, but I can't see the problem...
but as I said earlier: I'm not really good in php things x.x

[Hall of Famer]

I see, so you need to add the 'extends UserCreator' back to the class_visitorcreator.php.

[Nerymon]

I see, so you need to add the 'extends UserCreator' back to the class_visitorcreator.php.

Okay thanks ^^
but now I have this error message again:
Fatal error: Can't inherit abstract function Container::display() (previously declared abstract in UserContainer) in /var/www/vhosts/monfreaks.de/httpdocs/ado/classes/abstract/abstract_usercontainer.php on line 3

:littlecfrown:

[Hall of Famer]

Remove the 'implements Container' part from file abstract_usercontainer.php then.

[Nerymon]

yay, it works now! :)
thanks for your fast help

No worries, it is just that there was a flaw in PHP 5.3 until it got fixed in 5.3.9. If you are using a version earlier than PHP 5.3.9, you have to find a way to get by.
