I've implemented KoolReport and CloudExport on my local WAMP stack and it works perfectly. Moving it to an AWS LAMP instance has been a failure so far. No matter where I put KoolReport in my LAMP stack , it can't create the assets folders, so no formatting is done. I've given everyone root privileges but it didn't help. It seems that it assumes the assets folder is already created when it it not, even if I don't have the assets path in the settings function of the myreport.php. I run multiple sites via apache virtual hosts from this AWS instance, so my structure is

htdocs

htdocs/sites

htdocs/sites/site1

htdocs/sites/site2

htdocs/sites/site3

If I invoke composer to install KoolReport from htdocs, it will but the vendor folder under htdocs. The reports will fail because it can't access the assets folders. If I use composer to install KoolReport from the site1 folder, thinking all these folders are public and have access, it will also fail because it can't create or access the assets folder.

Any insight would be appreciated on how I can get this to work.

It's a Bitnami Lightsail Lamp Stack on AWS. The user is "daemon" from both the exec('whoami') you suggested and from the phpinfo page. I changed the ownership of the koolreport folder to daemon and it still can't create or find the assets folder, whether I declare the assets path in the setting or not.

I set up a new instance on Lightsail and installed koolreport with examples manually in htdocs. The examples work fine. I created a small report with a index.php, salesreport.php and salesreportview.php. It still will not style the report. It executes the query in salesreport.php just fine and gives me a standard table output with a header of "$this->dataStore('sales')" and then lists the query fields. It never seems to get to the view.

The error from Chrome is testrpt.php:564 Uncaught ReferenceError: KoolReport is not defined at testrpt.php:564:1

The line it's referring to is KoolReport.widget.init({"js":["\/koolreport\/core\/src\/clients\/jquery\/jquery.min.js",["\/koolreport\/core\/src\/widgets\/koolphp\/table\/table.js"]],"css":["\/koolreport\/core\/src\/widgets\/koolphp\/table\/table.css"]},function(){

Because I'm getting the query output, it must be finding the koolreports folders in htdocs.

Thank you Sebastian and all who responded!

I did have the salesreport.view.php but my class name was SalesReport, so yes, the case did not match. I changed the files to SalesReport.php, SalesReport.view.php, and SalesReportPDF.view.php (I'm using CloudExport as well).

I reinstalled koolreport and cloudexport into the htdocs folder using composer.

Once I set the the ownership of the htdocs folder to bitnami:daemon, all the reports started working, using the command "sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon ./htdocs" from the /opt/bitnami/apache folder, just in case someone else runs into this issue.

Thanks again. This can be closed.
