Ok seemed to have found the file that contains the address to the "/usr/share/pear/Zend/Translate/Adapter/I18nRailsYamlAdapter.php" file. It is located in 'framework/i18n/i18TextCollector.php'

On line 516 it seems that a language file is written for the i18nRailsYamlAdapter. Just need to figure out how to change the directory that the file is created to to '/usr/share/php'

Hi Ingo thanks for the reply, i really appreciate it.

1) I checked and the 'framework/i18n/i18nRailsYamlAdapter.php' exists
2) I dont know if this is relevant but i thought that i should mention that this test site is in a subdirectory of a webiste
that is running SS2.5.
So the main site runs on 'www.mysite.com' (SS2.5) and this test site runs under 'www.mysite.com/ss3' (SS3.02)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As per your suggestion tried the following:

in the i18.php file i changed the require_once call from
require_once 'i18nRailsYamlAdapter.php';
// to
require_once '.:i18nRailsYamlAdapter.php';

i had the following error:

Warning: require_once(.:i18nRailsYamlAdapter.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/www/users/opticb/customers/diveschoolcapetown/framework/i18n/i18n.php on line 3 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '.:i18nRailsYamlAdapter.php' (include_path='/usr/www/users/opticb/customers/diveschoolcapetown/framework:/usr/www/users/opticb/customers/diveschoolcapetown/framework/parsers:/usr/www/users/opticb/customers/diveschoolcapetown/framework/thirdparty:.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/www/users/opticb/customers/diveschoolcapetown/framework/i18n/i18n.php on line 3

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then i tried making the changes you showed on GITHUB to the i18.php

require_once 'Zend/Translate.php';

// Overrule Zend_Loader
require_once FRAMEWORK_PATH . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'i18n' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'i18nRailsYamlAdapter.php';
require_once FRAMEWORK_PATH . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'i18n' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'i18nSSLegacyAdapter.php';

And got the following error

[Warning] is_readable(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/share/pear/Zend/Translate/Adapter/I18nRailsYamlAdapter.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/wwws/users/opticb:/usr/www/users/opticb:/usr/home/opticb:/usr/local/rmagic:/usr/www/users/he/_system_:/usr/share/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/share/www:/usr/share/misc)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the reply.

I have included a stack trace (i hope i did it right).

Out of pure frustration i went and commented out line 200 - 204 in Thirdparty/Zend/Loader.php (see below).

I then tested if the following files still loaded. They did load.
Zend/Translate.php
i18nRailsYamlAdapter.php
i18nSSLegacyAdapter.php

I dont get the open base error any more. I dont know what else to do.... i just hope this wont bite me in the ass later.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thirdparty/Zend/Loader.php now it looks like this:

foreach (self::explodeIncludePath() as $path) {
if ($path == '.') {
if (is_readable($filename)) {
return true;
}
continue;
}
/*         $file = $path .'/' . $filename;
if (is_readable($file)) {
return true;
}*/

}
return false;
}

Thanks Ingo, i really appreciate it. I was really stuck there at one stage.
That solved the problem!!!!
