Error occurred in HTMLPurifier.standalone.php around line 15280

[jesseray]

Yesterday, I installed Symphony 2.4 with the default workspace. I published an article (using the admin area) successfully, and then tried to add a comment to it (using the user-facing website provided by the workspace). When I submitted the comment, I was given this error message:

Symphony User Warning: Base directory /var/www/extensions/markdown/lib/htmlpurifier-4.6.0-standalone/standalone/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer does not exist, please create or change using %Cache.SerializerPath

I just tested adding the comment via the admin interface. Same error.

Try this, from your terminal, seems to be something new in the Markdown lib.

cd /var/www/extensions/markdown/lib/htmlpurifier-4.6.0-standalone/standalone/HTMLPurifier/
mkdir -p DefinitionCache/Serializer

Thanks Brendo. I created the folder and the reported error went away, but then another appeared, which was easily fixed by chmod'ing DefinitionCache/Serializer it to 0777. After that, I was able to submit comments. So, once these changes are made to the Symphony repository, this issue can be closed :)

(And here I was thinking that an actual file was missing =P)

[brendo]

It'll need to made in the Markdown extension repo, so I'll close this down
regardless and reference it there :)

It's actually the HTML Purifier lib, and it's not new. Maybe there's just a .gitkeep missing for the empty directory in the latest update?

However, wouldn't it make more sense to use manifest/cache for this? Path can be defined in HTML Purifier's configuration.

That's a much nicer solution. Good find Jens!
