Ok, so i've been struggling with eZPublish for a long time now, I've just made the discovery that there are problems with the LATEST distribution. The file names are too long and a lot of them are shortened.
For example in the lib/eztemplate/classes folder
there is a file called "eztemplatearithmeticoerator.ph" which should be: "eztemplateartithmeticoperator.php" And there are MANY more problems like that esp, in the kernel folder. Is this ia potential bug/problem? The only reason I discovered this is because I'm in debug mode and I'm noticing that certain files aren't loading, and that's b/c these files are missing exntentions etc. Is there a list of all the ezPublish files? so i can properly rename them all? Some of them are not as easy to fix as they are horrendously long.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar if that is helpful.
But my server is a Redhat Linux server.

Grrr, I've resorted to using stupid PC to upload the kernel files all over b/c of this problem. The filesnames are correct on the PC. I guess the mac can't handle the long file names. :( Though, I must say you guys need to put a warning for the rest of us and stop using such long file names!

the whole thing's broke and gone to hell. SIGH. I replaced the entire kernel directory and now the whole thing doesn't work, any ideas?

Hi Julie, Firstly, i'm not a Mac user, so cannot recreate your problem, but i am interested in the problem. Is it the filesystem that cannot support the long filenames or is it php? Can you upgrade php? I can answer this, i would not go changing the filenames in the kernel, it would be too much of a chore, especially when upgrading. --tony

The mac can handle it, like it's okay, if I rename them. When I download zipped files, Stuffit automatically unzips them for me, and they're already missing extentions and parts of file names, etc. It's eithe the mac or Stuffit.
Here's a screenshot of what I mean:
http://ezpublish.clio360.com/ezpubexts.gif Yeah, I gave up on renaming things. I'm reinstalling with my Dell laptop right now. Sigh, I reuploaded the entire kernel directory from the distribution and the whole thing went to hell in a bucket as a I say. I'm getting "cannot find server" errors all of the place. sigh.

HI Julie
I wrote a message about this here and list the files that are effected:
http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/install_configuration/length_of_file_names_causes_errors_for_mac_os9_user
In MacOS9 there is a file extension limit to 31 characters
MacOSX & Unix don't have this problem a fix is to manually upload the files and then correct the file names on the server using one's FTP program (Fetch is what I use) Hope this helps M.

Hi Maggie, thanks for the message. I'm using Mac OS X 10.2.6 Jaguar with the latest patch, and I am having this problem. Just so you know it is an OS X problem too. In OS X, the file name limit is longer, but the problem still arises because of the unzipping program StuffIt.

Downloading the latest version of StuffIt Expander 7.03 prevents this problem from happening on the Mac OS X.

Thanks for the info, Julie I'll be going to OSX in a couple of months ... I'll upgrade to the new StuffIt right away. M.

Hi julie,
If you are running Mac OS X try this command in the "Terminal" app (you can find it in the "/Applications/Utilities" folder.)
1. Open a terminal window
2. Type "curl -O http://www.ez.no/content/download/30578/78387/file/ezpublish-3.1-1.tar.gz"
3. Type "sudo mv ezpublish-3.1-1.tar.gz Desktop/"
4. Type "gunzip ezpublish-3.1-1.tar.gz" Now check your Desktop folder. Good luck, geo
