I'm trying to set up the AWS SDK for PHP on an EC2 instance, but I am having trouble getting the SDK to work. Just to note, I'm new to all AWS services, and I've only written PHP scripts, I've never configured it before. When I run the following script, I get "Fatal error: Class 'AmazonEC2' not found in /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php on line 6":
require_once 'sdk.class.php';
$ec2 = new AmazonEC2(); //Line 6
As far as I can tell, the AmazonEC2 class is in:
/opt/lampp/lib/php/AWSSDKforPHP/services/ec2.class.php
I followed this setup guide: http://aws.amazon.com/articles/PHP/4261
Here are some details:
Basic 32-bit Amazon Linux AMI 2010.11.1 Beta (AMI Id: ami-76f0061f)My path was set to ".:/opt/lampp/lib/php" by default. I tried adding ".:/opt/lampp/lib/php/AWSSDKforPHP" but that didn't work. I tried changing file permissions, but no dice.
I've never used PEAR before, or XAMPP. Any ideas for how I can get the SDK working with PHP? I'm thinking it has to be just an include_path issue, but I'm not sure what to set it to work. (I reset apache after I change php.ini so that isn't the issue either).
Here are some paths on my system:
/opt/lampp/lib/php/AWSSDKforPHP
/opt/lampp/etc/php.ini
/opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php
/home/ec2-user/.aws/sdk/config.inc.php
Have you updated your PHP's include_path in php.ini?
Edit: On second look, it appears you did. Have you tried including the services/ec2.class.php file in the script you're trying to run?
You most likely need to either add the 'services' folder to your path or require the class this way:
require_once('services/ec2.class.php');
I found your identical AWS forum thread while searching for a possible answer: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=59213
Have you tried NOT using PEAR? They also provide installation via git and a downloadable .zip file. In my experience, PEAR can be bitchy and unreliable at times. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to people new to PHP or the CLI.
I had a similar problem earlier. In my case, sdk.class.php was in a different folder where I had included.
So you might want to check the path for where sdk.class is, probably create your own .php file there with a couple of functions, require_once them and confirm if you are accessing right path.
Kind of an old thread...meh.
I had the same problem, but with using WAMP on Windows and using Amazon S3 instead of EC2. Adding the following include solved my problem:
require_once 'AWSSDKforPHP/sdk.class.php';
Including "AWSSDKforPHP/services/s3.class.php", along the lines of what others have suggested, just threw more errors for other missing classes.
I think PEAR does this automatically, but also check to make sure the PEAR folder is in the "include_path" setting of your php.ini file:
include_path=".;C:\Program Files\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.11\pear"
