Hi I have a php script that starts like this:
<?php
require_once('app/Mage.php'); //Path to Magento
umask(0);
Mage::app();
How do I call app/Mage.php from a directory other than root?? i.e I have my script in public_html/shell but app is in public_html/
In normal case you can call it like:
<?php
require_once('../app/Mage.php'); // "../" represent the parent directory
umask(0);
Mage::app();
If you are running the script via a cron job, use below to make sure that the cron is in the correct directory:
<?php
chdir(dirname(__FILE__));
require_once '../app/Mage.php';
umask(0);
Mage::app();
Try this:
require_once('../app/Mage.php');
You dont need to write this thigs if your script in shell folder
You can create shell script and also you can use it from browser and CLI as well . below file name is test.php in shell folder
<?php
//ini_set('display_errors', 1);
require_once 'abstract.php';
class Mage_Shell_Test extends Mage_Shell_Abstract{
public function run(){
Mage::app();
//you can do whatever you want to do in this method
}
public function _validate() {
// this function allows you to use this script from browser
return true;
}
}
$shell = new Mage_Shell_Test();
$shell->run();
?>
If your script is required to be outside Magento folder then just use chdir() as first line.
In your case:
<?php
chdir('/var/www/fullpath_where_index_php_is');
require_once('app/Mage.php');
umask(0);
