Error in line 9 of cas.module

I have the same problem

I wasn't aware that cas had become available on the pear site. The module sort of assumes you downloaded it manually. I'll try and give this some thought, but there's a pretty big install base that has the cas module installed the other way. I don't want to break it for them. Open to elegant ideas. I suppose I could test for the /usr/share/php but this seems distibution specific. Anyone have some good ideas on how to solve this in a non distribution specific way?

I've done like this:
changed line 9 to:

require_once(_cas_get_CAS_location());

added function _cas_get_CAS_location as follows:

function _cas_get_CAS_location() {
  $path=variable_get('cas_phpCAS_pathname',NULL);
  if($path === NULL) {
    $search=ini_get('include_path');
    $sa=split(':',$search);
    foreach($sa as $pa) {
      if(file_exists($pa.'/CAS.php')) {
        $path=$pa.'/CAS.php';
        break;
      } else if(file_exists($pa.'/CAS/CAS.php')) {
        $path=$pa.'/CAS/CAS.php';
        break;
      }
    }
  }
  variable_set('cas_phpCAS_pathname',$path);
  return $path;
}

Sorry for the indenting...
It works searching CAS.php in the include_path directories first as path/CAS.php then as path/CAS/CAS.php
It saves the results in a db variable for future references.
This could also be done in the install process letting the module only to load the db variable.

I like this as a general concept, but I think I'll want to add this to the CAS settings page so that the user could override it. It could be problematic if things move. I like your detection mechanism for the default, though. If you're willing to tackle the UI, feel free to submit a patch :)

I just tried downloading and installing the CAS module for the first time too. Downloaded from this URL following the readme. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=88445

I tried putting this in sites/all/modules/cas/ and sites/all/modules/cas/CAS and am getting the same "cas.module on line 9" error.

Am I putting this in the right place?

I think so CAS.php should be in a folder called CAS that is somewhere in your include path. So inside sites/all/modules/cas you should have a folder CAS, and a CAS.php file in that folder. Does that make sense?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that makes sense. I gave that a try and I still get the "Error in line 9 of cas.module". But, I wound up getting it to install okay (I think?)

I got my host to put CAS on my "include path" location....include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear in the case of the first poster here.

I then got a different error about DB.php and got rid of it after I did this: http://drupal.org/node/192537

It then installed successfully. But, I still can't get CAS login to work for me. I don't know if I am not using/configuring it correctly or what. I'm not exactly sure what's supposed to happen next. But, that's a separate issue, haha! I'll start a different thread for that.

Thanks!

I took the "source" folder from the phpcas-0.6.0-1 download and put the contents in a folder named CAS inside the sites/all/modules/cas folder. This worked for me.

Same here

I've just created patches for adding Libraries API support, can we add that to this?

Library support was added with the following issue.
