I am getting an error while debugging. I am using Smarty, and when I start a page it pops up an error message

E_USER_WARNING Smarty error, cannot access property ""

In the log I see
Dbg mapping Failed to find a way to load "/usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php" remote file. Opening it using debugger protocol 3:44:25 PM

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Please read PhpED manual. Related topic is "Managing workspaces, projects and files" -> "Project mapping"

I read it. Also I made a mapping. However this doesn't seem to help. I did the following
- made a symbolic link in my www folder using "ln -s /usr/local/lib/php libphp'
- made a mapping using
Project > Project Properties > Mapping
remote dir = /usr/local/lib/php
local directory = G:\www\libphp
url = http://ourserver/libphp

But the error still appears. I think the mapping settings are incorrect. The /usr/local/lib/php directory is of course not available directly from the www folder

Symbolic links may not help there. Apache always reads them and uses real path.
Try to echo __FILE__ to see how php (and debugger) see the name.
if it is /usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php, you're okay.

With your settings IDE will map
/usr/local/lib/php/Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php
to
G:\www\libphp\Smarty\libs\Smarty.class.php
so, please check if this file exists.

I checked and the file exists. I found out the error I saw 'E_USER_WARNING cannot read property "" at line 1095' was caused by an invalid Smarty variable name. Strangely enough when in normal run mode this is not a problem, but while debugging the debugger stops on this line.

I must say this is very helpful to debug Smarty variables. Otherwise I would probably never have caught this mistake (it was in the title attribute of a link, so not directly visible on the page).

The symbolic links do work then. I don't know if it made any difference but I put my /usr/local/lib mapping as the first (as it is in the include path).

Thanks!

This can be resolved with Dbg-Wizard script. Please give it a try. If after that you still don't get a solution, please contact NuSphere Support team and provide: phpinfo() output, screenshot of the error box (log entry) and screenshots of the all pages in the Project Properties dialog.

I did and it's already working. I though I made it clear... All that was left was a Smarty error that I also resolved (it was a logic error in my template).

Thanks again
