# Tips and Common Mistakes
|
|
|
|
This is a collection of tips and common mistakes or errors you may encounter.
|
|
|
|
## Never edit the `system` folder!
|
|
|
|
You should (almost) never edit the system folder. Any change you want to make to files in system and modules can be made via the [cascading filesystem](files) and [transparent extension](extension) and won't break when you try to update your Kohana version.
|
|
|
|
## Don't try and use one route for everything
|
|
|
|
Kohana 3 [routes](routing) are very powerful and flexible, don't be afraid to use as many as you need to make your app function the way you want!
|
|
|
|
## Files not found on some systems
|
|
|
|
As of Kohana 3.3, classes are autoloaded using the case-sensitive PSR-0 autoloader. This means that using the class Foo {} with a file in classes/foo.php will work on case-insensitive file systems (such as the default HFS+ FS used in Mac OS X) but will fail when used on a case-sensitive FS (typical on many production Linux servers).
|
|
|
|
## Handling lots of routes
|
|
|
|
Sometimes your application is sufficiently complex that you have many routes and it becomes unmanageable to put them all in bootstrap.php. If this is the case, simply make a `routes.php` file in APPPATH and require that in your bootstrap: `require_once APPPATH.'routes'.EXT;`
|
|
|
|
## Reflection_Exception
|
|
|
|
If you get a Reflection_Exception when setting up your site, it is almost certainly because your [Kohana::init] 'base_url' setting is wrong. If your base url is correct something is probably wrong with your [routes](routing).
|
|
|
|
ReflectionException [ -1 ]: Class controller_<something> does not exist
|
|
// where <something> is part of the url you entered in your browser
|
|
|
|
### Solution {#reflection-exception-solution}
|
|
|
|
Set your [Kohana::init] 'base_url' to the correct setting. The base url should be the path to your index.php file relative to the webserver document root.

## ORM/Session __sleep() bug
|
|
|
|
There is a bug in php which can corrupt your session after a fatal error. A production server shouldn't have uncaught fatal errors, so this bug should only happen during development, when you do something stupid and cause a fatal error. On the next page load you will get a database connection error, then all subsequent page loads will display the following error:
|
|
|
|
ErrorException [ Notice ]: Undefined index: id
|
|
MODPATH/orm/classes/kohana/orm.php [ 1308 ]
|
|
|
|
### Solution {#orm-session-sleep-solution}
|
|
|
|
To fix this, clear your cookies for that domain to reset your session. This should never happen on a production server, so you won't have to explain to your clients how to clear their cookies. You can see the [discussion on this issue](http://dev.kohanaframework.org/issues/3242) for more details.
