Below is the error msg reported by httpd：

My server environment:

Centos 6.2 X64 minimum with application developement yum package

Apache 2.4 , PHP 5.4, both manaual installation. And the Apache and php are working well as I have checked with simple php script.

Also, I have checked the YiiBass.php , it does have the public static autoload function.

the directory layout:

/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/yii-frameworkroot

/usr/local/apache2/htdoc/practise/demo

practise is virtual server root hosted by Apache

Anyone have an idea about this ? thanks so much

Do you have a default installation of a yii web application?

Do you have


spl_autoload_register(array('YiiBase','autoload'));

In you YiiBase at line 849?

I thought maybe it’s something php version dependent, but seems this function wasn’t updated since 5.3 version.

While googling the error you’ve got I found it was caused by usage with namespaces - not sure it can be your problem, just looking for ideas :)

And what is your index.php file code?

Yes, yugene. It’s the well-known demo application I created for testing. The whole process was like below:

Your application has been created successfully under /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/practise/demo.

And the index.php looks like below


<?php


// change the following paths if necessary

$yii=dirname(__FILE__).'/../../yii-1.1.8.r3324/framework/yii.php';

$config=dirname(__FILE__).'/protected/config/main.php';


// remove the following lines when in production mode

defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG',true);

// specify how many levels of call stack should be shown in each log message

defined('YII_TRACE_LEVEL') or define('YII_TRACE_LEVEL',3);


require_once($yii);

Yii::createWebApplication($config)->run();

Since I’ve not started to develope applications, Namespace issue seems unlikely the cause. And, Line 849 does have codes you mentioned above. Anyway, I’m deciding downgrading PHP 5.4.3 to PHP 5.3.14. Let’see if the problem is still there

Thanks, yugene

hey, yugene, it looks like the issue is caused by PHP version 5.4.3. Although the root cause is still unknown ( I guess it has something to do with parser), the demo app is working well under the combination of Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.3.14.

Hope this thread helps those setting up yii framework in a server environment such as CentOs 6.2 X86-64, Apache 2.4

Hm, interesting to know your results, though I don’t think it’s an expected behavior and it would be useful to know the cause.

I had exactly same problem.

Solution was to disable APC for current server.

7

I had the same problem, And it started as i installed APC on my server, since I needed APC methods removing

it from the server was not an option, So instead i disabled the php cache part, and yet the methods were available.

In order to disable the php caching all you have to do is adding the following code to your php.ini, (or changing it if it exists, It may also be on apc.ini for linux base servers)


[apc]

apc.enabled = 0

Here you can see the full apc runtime configuration
