Problem with Custom config file - El Forum - 01-13-2011
[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I'm trying to create a custom config file for active directory but I keep getting the same error no matter what I try. I read the previous topics on here about my problem, but none of the solutions seemed to help me. The error is "Your ad.php file does not appear to contain a valid configuration array."
./system/application/config/ad.php
Code:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
/*

| ['hostname'] The hostname of your ldap server.
| ['basedn'] The base domain name for the users

include('swe.php');
$active_group = $environment;
$ad = array();
$ad['dev']['hostname'] = "172.29.97.12";

A note from the userguide:
Quote:If you do create your own config files use the same format as the primary one, storing your items in an array called $config
The primary one is the main config.php file. $ad is not a valid array name.

Hmm... seems your right, I was using the database.php config as a template. Thanks for your help, but just out of my sheer curiosity, why does database.php, routes.php,smileys.php etc.. get away with this and I can't?
Code:
$db['dev']['hostname'] = "172.29.97.7";
$db['dev']['username'] = "xxxx";
$db['dev']['password'] = "xxxx";
$db['dev']['database'] = "code_igniter";
$db['dev']['dbdriver'] = "postgre";
$db['dev']['dbprefix'] = "";
$db['dev']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['dev']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['dev']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['dev']['cachedir'] = "";
$db['dev']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['dev']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";Problem with Custom config file - El Forum - 01-13-2011

This is a convention.

The above mentioned use their own routine to load the file, the moment You load using this->load->config() You need to have a $config variable declared, here the example for the smileys :
Code:
/**
* Get Smiley Array
*
* Fetches the config/smiley.php file
*
* @access private
* @return mixed
*/
if ( ! function_exists('_get_smiley_array'))
{
function _get_smiley_array()
{
if ( ! file_exists(APPPATH.'config/smileys'.EXT))
{
return FALSE;
}
include(APPPATH.'config/smileys'.EXT);
if ( ! isset($smileys) OR ! is_array($smileys))
{
return FALSE;
}
return $smileys;
}
}
