Sample Site - Fatal error

I installed BigTree locally and told the installer to put in sample content so I could start poking around and learning.

After install, the home page gives me:

Fatal error:  Class 'SampleFeatures' not found in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/BigTree2/templates/basic/home.php on line 18

As you can see, I'm using mamp. Any idea what could be happening?

My best guess is that the database connection is failing. Can you make sure that the connection parameters in /templates/config.php are correct?

Re: Sample Site - Fatal error

Thanks for the quick response.

Looks alright to me:

    // Database info.
    $bigtree["config"]["db"]["host"] = "localhost";
    $bigtree["config"]["db"]["name"] = "bigtree2";
    $bigtree["config"]["db"]["user"] = "root";
    $bigtree["config"]["db"]["password"] = "root";

Everything looks like it's setup properly (assuming that the password and username are correct for MySQL).  Can you verify that there is an entry in the bigtree_modules table with the title "Features"?

Can you try deleting the /cache/module-class-list.btc file and see if that fixes the error?

Woo! That worked. Thanks a bunch. Could you explain what was happening?

Re: Sample Site - Fatal error

Normally it occurs when the bigtree_modules table is changed directly in MySQL without the BigTree admin doing the changes (the hard class cache file gets cached with incorrect information).

The incoming Release Candidate 2 tries to address that very issue with a bit more grace, so it's a known pain point   Hopefully you're all set now but feel free to ask any more questions!
