Core

Can you please try to move the "typo3_src-6.2.5" one level up and tell us, if this changes something?

I have moved the TYPO3 source a directory level up:

root@Server-Ubuntu-64 /home/user/public_html/typo3 # mv typo3_src-6.2.5 ..
root@Server-Ubuntu-64 /home/user/public_html/typo3 # rm typo3_src
root@Server-Ubuntu-64 /home/user/public_html/typo3 # ln -s ../typo3_src-6.2.5 typo3_src

root@Server-Ubuntu-64 /home/user/public_html/typo3 # ls -l
total 16

Still the same error.

alright, then you need some debugging what is wrong with your environment.

typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Core/SystemEnvironmentBuilder.php
method definePaths()

at the end add:
die(PATH_site . ';' . TYPO3_mainDir);

The result is:

/home/user/public_html/;typo3/

ls -l /home/user/public_html/typo3/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Core/SystemEnvironmentBuilder.php
-rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 19937 Okt  7 14:56 /home/user/public_html/typo3/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Core/SystemEnvironmentBuilder.php

The TYPO3 root should be here:

/home/user/public_html/typo3/

So PATH_site is wrong, what do you have for PATH_thisScript?

As written in #53037 you seam to have a broken linkages.

lrwxrwxrwx  1 user  user    15 Okt  7 10:33 index.php -> typo3/index.php

The index.php should link to typo3_src/index.php

ls from my test system:

drwxrws--- 10 www-data www-data  4096 Sep 26 09:51 fileadmin
lrwxrwxrwx  1 opitz    www-data    19 Okt 14  2013 index.php -> typo3_src/index.php
lrwxrwxrwx  1 opitz    www-data    15 Okt 14  2013 typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3
drwxrws---  5 opitz    www-data  4096 Sep 26 09:51 typo3conf
drwxrwxr-x  4 opitz    www-data  4096 Okt  6 17:22 typo3-src
drwxrws--- 16 opitz    www-data 28672 Sep 26 09:51 typo3temp

I get this:

PATH_thisScript: /home/user/public_html/typo3/index.php

Yes, the link to index.php is wrong.

index.php -> typo3/index.php

instead of

index.php -> typo3_src/index.php

After changing this, I get:

 HELLO WORLD! 

The error message should point out this information:
Wrong symbolic link to index.php.

That's not a bug, you just set the symlink wrong. Please close the issue. If you like to throw a warning in such a case, consider it as a new feature.

See #62089 for a possible solution.

I have the same error message, but only when I run

php typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh whatever

ls:

Error message:

php typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh crawler
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.18
Content-type: text/plain

Calculated absolute path to tslib directory does not exist.

Something in the main file, folder and link structure is wrong and must be fixed! A typical document root contains a couple of symbolic links:
* A symlink "typo3_src" pointing to the TYPO3 CMS core.
* A symlink "typo3" - the backend entry point - pointing to "typo3_src/typo3" 
* A symlink "index.php" - the frontend entry point - points to "typo3_src/index.php" 

It's a project with one website (3 languages and more than 130 Pages), TYPO3 v6.2.9.

Hi Alfred,

and the directory typo3_src-6.2.9 is a clean checkout? Or did you symlink something else in it?
Can you post the response of ls inside this directory?

Is it a new install or an update and it worked before?

Hi Alexander,

It is a new install.

@Alfred: Please check if your PHP configuration for CLI differs from the WEB configuration somehow.

Hi Alfred,

hmmm looks ok so far. So something else must happen.

Can you please edit a file:

/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Core/SystemEnvironmentBuilder.php
Around line 184 should be something like:

if (!is_dir(PATH_tslib)) {
    static::dieWithMessage('Calculated absolute path to tslib directory does not exist.' . LF . LF
        . 'Something in the main file, folder and link structure is wrong and must be fixed! A typical document root contains a couple of symbolic links:' . LF
        . '* A symlink "typo3_src" pointing to the TYPO3 CMS core.' . LF
        . '* A symlink "typo3" - the backend entry point - pointing to "typo3_src/typo3"' . LF
        . '* A symlink "index.php" - the frontend entry point - points to "typo3_src/index.php"');
}

can you please add before static::dieWithMessage following:

var_dump(PATH_thisScript, PATH_site);

Then you will see, witch path TYPO3 thinks he is in?

@Alexander

string(18) "/usr/local/bin/php" 
string(9) "/usr/loca" 

Oh, that's very false.
What does

php -v

And does it work by running the command like

./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh bla

~ > php -v

p123456789:/home/www/p123456789/html/typo3 > ./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh bla
This script must have a 'cliKey' as first argument. Valid keys are:

  extbase
  lowlevel_admin
  lowlevel_cleaner
  lowlevel_refindex
  scheduler

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.18
Content-type: text/html

There is no difference when I change bla to scheduler...

So you are using the php for cgi and not cli. Du you have an executable called php5-cli?

If not, what system are you running? Is the PHP self compiled or installed from a package?

I have an executable called php_cli

p123456789:/usr/local/bin > l php*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mw mw 14 24. Nov 13:46 php -> ../php/bin/php*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mw mw 18 24. Nov 13:46 php_cli -> ../php/bin/php_cli*

And what does php_cli -v response? Does php_cli ./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh scheduler works?

p123456789:~ > php_cli -v

Looks like php_cli ./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh scheduler works:

p123456789:/home/www/p123456789/html/typo3 > php_cli ./typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh scheduler
p123456789:/home/www/p123456789/html/typo3 >

Fine if this works. :-)

thanks for your help
