Hi,
can you please explain the solutions more in-depth?
Thanks &Greets, Sebastian
Hi,
I am still waiting for some comments here.
Thanks,
Sebastian
Extra comments:
I fixed it by taking out line 168 (function getDiff):
exec($cmd,$res);
but this is not the best solution while I changed the core directly
the best overall solution would be to check at this point if diff is available and can be executed, if not to pass this function.
Well, a history obviously needs the diff tool... if you comment out this function history won't work anymore :-) And you don't have any diff either. Or am I wrong here?
Greets, Sebastian
The diff tool must have executable rights for the IIS Service.
The history / undo feature remains working but I don't know what side effect that will cause if diff is not installed. I have never saw something about the need of the diff tool in the install documentation. But a search on google will show that the howto's contain such explanation already. Maybe this could not be classified as bug but as a missing need.
Anyway thanks for your support and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
