Setup not working with cli

[Niknox]

I followed your steps until configuration via php cli.

When I issue php aowow --firstrun it just shows the following:

# php aowow --firstrun
11:49:10          FileGen::init() - creating required directories
11:49:10          created 7 extra paths
11:49:10          Please enter your database credentials.

It seems that user interaction is broken for me, it doesn't work with other commands, too.

Output of php aowow --dbconfig for example shows:

# php aowow --dbconfig
11:53:54          select a numerical index to use the corresponding entry
11:53:54          [0] aowow                  <empty>
11:53:54          [1] world                  <empty>
11:53:54          [2] auth                   <empty>
11:53:54          [3] add an additional Character DB

I'm using PHP 5.6.13.

after the first block there should be a prompt
Press any key to continue:

and then the same screen as if using --dbconfig should appear.
it works for me, using PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.11

i'll see if i can get it upgraded, in the meantime i'd suggest you comment the lines in
https://github.com/Sarjuuk/aowow/blob/master/includes/kernel.php#L107 to #L138 and add an
error_reporting(E_ALL)
Try again and see what it throws at you.

Also, if you are using WIN, the cli in general is a bit wonky (but should still work well enough)

[Niknox]

I'm using Debian 8.

I don't see any prompt appearing, that's why I opened this issue.

Will try your suggestion asap.

Edit: I think I'm missing readline.

[Niknox]

Yes I'm missing readline extension for PHP.

Sorry for taking your time, but you might want to add readline to the list of needed extensions.

Another issue is that enter is not working in your cli for me.
After select a numerical index to use the corresponding array I press for example 0, then I see Server Host: and can enter things, but I cannot send any signal for newline. Usually the key "Enter" should send LF to complete the input, but here "Enter" doesn't do anything.

This happens over SSH via putty

[Sarjuuk]

When you are using WIN, you also have to make do without this extension.
You inputs aren't handled because the script is trying to use a nonexistent function and hits a critical error. You are then writing stuff, but the script that should read it has already terminated. (or at least i think it does, you haven't provided any error message yet)

Try applying this patch, it probably works

[Niknox]

See above, I'm using Debian. At the time of the last comment I already compiled php with readline support. So the script is working and I get a prompt I just cannot press "Enter". It doesn't seem that the script terminated as I could go back with any signal like "Arrow Down".

I won't apply your patch because readline is there and the functions work properly.

Output of E_ALL: http://pastebin.com/YX5An7xh (nothing important)

[Sarjuuk]

hmm, right.

Since i can't reproduce that we'll have to continue that game of guessing :/
Please, try to find out what character is your line terminator:
print_r or echo $keyId from here

it should be 10 (\n), but i half expect it to be 13 (\r) (which i originally ignored, because of WIN, which sends both)

[Niknox]

Correct, it's 13 (CR). I'm not that much into ascii characters, but isn't it both \r\n in php for new line?
Edit: I'll try handling 13 like 10, I guess that should work.

[Niknox]

This works for me, thanks for your help!

[Sarjuuk]

np

should be fixed with 00bd33a
