Having trouble setting up Helphub site locally

[emfluenceindia]

Issue Description

I am not sure if this is an "issue" or I am the only one having this trouble. As per suggestion of @zzap and @Kenshino I am putting it here.

I am following the instructions listed here under Local Install section.
I have done with steps 1-10. One confusion I have though about item no. 5, i.e. where exactly to run npm install. I ran it inside WPorg Support theme folder, not sure this is the right place to run.

When I activate the above theme, I am getting the following on-screen message.

Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.

Name	Description		
wporg	Stylesheet is missing.

Ignoring the above I went on and run the site which resulted to an error:

Warning: require(/var/www/wp-projects/helphub/wp-content/themes/footer.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/wp-projects/helphub/wp-content/themes/wporg-support/footer.php on line 12

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/wp-projects/helphub/wp-content/themes/footer.php' (include_path='.:/home/subrara/.phpbrew/php/php-5.6.22/lib/php') in /var/www/wp-projects/helphub/wp-content/themes/wporg-support/footer.php on line 12

The same above this happening for header.php as well (line no. 191 in functions.php of the theme)

I changed theme to twentyseventeen and the site started running without any issue.

Expected Result:

Site should run without issue with the theme activated.

Actual Result:

Site is not running as described above.

Additional Comment:

I know this is the area to create issues and this might not be an issue at all and I am only experiencing it. If this is the case, it would be extremely helpful if I know what I am doing wrong.

OK, let's first fix the step 5 confusion. Command npm install should be ran from wp-content folder.

Try that and see what happens. Comment here results. Thank you.

What you need there is to include header and footer from wp.org:

• header - https://wordpress.org/header.php
• footer - https://wordpress.org/footer.php

Here are steps, missing from our CONTRIBUTING and README files:

1. In wp-config.php, before /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */, add following:

define( 'WPORGPATH', 'https://wordpress.org/' );

2. In php.ini (on Linux, with Apache, it's usually found on /etc/php/PHP-VERSION/apache2/php.ini), find allow_url_include and make sure it's turned on, like so:

allow_url_include = On

3. Restart server. This may vary depending on your local setup. On Linux you would run this command in terminal:

sudo service apache2 restart

These should be added to our contributing documentation.

I tried above and now getting this:

Warning: require(): https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0 in /var/www/wp-projects/helphub/wp-content/themes/wporg-support/functions.php on line 191

Warning: require(https://wordpress.org/header.php): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /var/www/wp-projects/helphub/wp-content/themes/wporg-support/functions.php on line 191

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'https://wordpress.org/header.php' (include_path='.:/home/subrara/.phpbrew/php/php-5.6.22/lib/php') in /var/www/wp-projects/helphub/wp-content/themes/wporg-support/functions.php on line 191

My php.ini is located at
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini. One more thing I have noticed that phpinfo() is showing Loaded Configuration File | (none) !!

Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/mjk7oi

I added allow_url_include = On in both the above files. Is there any issue with my system configuration? Hope I don't need to reinstall everything from scratch! :( All my local websites are running perfectly fine. So what could be the missing block I am totally confused.

UPDATE:

subrara@subrara-desktop:~$ php -i |grep 'php.ini'
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc/php5/cli
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

And I have both allow_url_include = On and allow_url_fopen = On /etc/php5/cli/php.ini.
And after making these changes I did restart Apache.

[zzap]

Yes, your configuration is not correct. /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini are two different files doing different things. You need to edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and to make sure it's loaded there where you have (none).

Thanks! I will do a fresh installation on my laptop tomorrow and go from there. Hope this time everything would work :)

[zzap]

Good luck 🤞

@zzap @emfluenceindia I am facing the same error :

`Warning: require(): https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0 in C:\xampp\htdocs\helphub\wp-content\themes\wporg-support\functions.php on line 192

Warning: require(https://wordpress.org/header.php): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in C:\xampp\htdocs\helphub\wp-content\themes\wporg-support\functions.php on line 192

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'https://wordpress.org/header.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\helphub\wp-content\themes\wporg-support\functions.php on line 192
There has been a critical error on your website.`

In phpinfo, it shows :
Loaded Configuration File | C:\xampp\php\php.ini

And I have both allow_url_include = On and allow_url_fopen = On in this file.
Also npm install ran successfully.

What else could be the issue?
