Error in PHPEclipse

Hi,

I just installed Eclipse with the PHPEclipse plugin successfully. After that, I installed XAMPP using the instructions on this page.

I then reopened Eclipse and saved my default workspace to /opt/lampp/htdocs/. After that, Eclipse showed me an error message and closed down. I have received this error message ever since, and have not been able to start up Eclipse.

The error message said:

An error has occurred. See the log file /home/harmen/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.2.0/configuration/1180142557450.log

I haven't been able to find this file, and a search on quot;eclipsequot; does not return any results. I'm a beginning  user, with no Linux experience whatsoever. Does any of you have got a clue to how to solve this problem?

Thanks very much!

Files and folders with a '.' in front are hidden.  In order to see them in nautilus, you have to turn on hidden files and folders.  Go to Places gt; Home Folder.  This will put you at '/home/harmen/'.  Then click on View gt; Show Hidden Files and then find the '.eclipse' folder and navigate from there.  When you find the file, post the output here.

Hi,

thanks for your reply. The output of the Log file is rather lengthy, but I reckon you can find the solution to the problem pretty fast when you know what to look for.
Hoping you, or anyone else on the forum knows this, here's the contents of the Log file:Code:

I recommend you install this other plugin for Eclipse. It's newer and better IMHO.
from : localhost/www.eclipse.org/pdt/


Originally Posted by MirrorballI recommend you install this other plugin for Eclipse. It's newer and better IMHO.
from : localhost/I will give that a shot.
But how would I go about that, considering Eclipse won't start anymore? Can I do that from outside Eclipse?

A small update: I have removed Eclipse and installed it again, but the same error message keeps popping up as if nothing happened...
So I guess I really need someone who understands Eclipse's error log to tell me what to do to fix this.

Try running eclipse with sudo.  The first error java is throwing seems to be a FileNotFoundException and says that the permission is denied.  If it runs with sudo try
sudo apt-get --purge remove eclipse*

This should purge any config files and then try to reinstall it.

Wow, this is starting to get real ugly.
I did exactly what you said, but I'm still getting the error dialog when starting Eclipse...

The problem is not your eclipse install but your local settings.

If you're sure you don't have anything you're afraid of losing in your eclipse settings, do this:Code:
cd ~
rm -rf .eclipse
now try restarting eclipse.

The problem may also be your workspace. If that is the case, do this (assuming your workspace directory is /home/yourusername/workspace):Code:
cd ~
mv workspace workspace_old
HTH,
