upgrade to 22.04 from 20.04 breaks mythweb #85
Description
Not sure exactly what is wrong and I've almost certainly "fixed" it badly....but.
After doing the release upgrade I was getting this when attempting to access mythweb on the mother in laws PC.
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "modules_path" in
/usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/includes/class_autoload.php:19\nStack trace:\n#0

It looks like it's running the class_autoload before it has run the defines that well define modules_path.
My "fix" for it was to edit /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/includes/init.php
At the start of the file is
// Attempt to load up firephp if installed on the server
@include_once('FirePHPCore/fb.php');
require_once 'includes/errors.php';
// Lazy load the classes...
require_once 'includes/class_autoload.php';
I changed this to
// Attempt to load up firephp if installed on the server
@include_once('FirePHPCore/fb.php');
require_once 'includes/errors.php';
//these should be loaded before running the class autoloader, it may be better placing these requires there as it is the bit that requires it but other things here will probably also need it
require_once 'includes/utils.php';
require_once 'includes/defines.php';
// Lazy load the classes...
require_once 'includes/class_autoload.php';
and it seems to work.
I'm putting this here rather than a pull in hopes google finds it and hence others do too if they need it. Also I'm at my mother in laws place over xmas and getting all that chooching would be a giant pain. Sorry to whomever picks this one up.
