I am about to develop several web sites on a e-smith server. I intend to use PHP4, and mysql for counters, simple forms and tables. I know that php and mysql are a part of the standard install. However, it appears that apache is not compiled to support DSOs and I am not sure that PHP4 is installed. Does anyone know what versions are options are in 4.1.1? TIA
-
Your understanding is incorrect; Apache on e-smith (all versions) supports DSOs, and e-smith 4.1x installs PHP as a DSO. It uses PHP 4.0.3pl1.

Thanks, you made my day, now to get it to recognize my extensions. I am putting in a simple print statement and getting no response. I have a trial version of PHP-Nuke up and running so I know php is working, just haven't been able to get it to respond to any code I put into a new ibay.

Is you file called somthing.php?

Yes, it is quite simply index.php
then
print "this is a test";
?>
The file is in /home/e-smith/files/primary/html
When I attempt to run it I get:
Warning: Failed opening '/home/e-smith/files/primary/html/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in Unknown on line 0
I assume it is looking for a path statement but don't see a requirement for one in the manual I am using.
-
This is almost certainly a permissions problem--what are the permissions on index.php, and who is the owner? The file needs to be readable by www; it should probably be owned by admin.shared, and permissions should be (at least) 640.
-
I am logged in as administrator and have done a chmod of 666 to the php files.
-
did a chmod 777 on the directory and now the error message changes as follows:
Parse error: parse error in /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/index.php on line 5
-
Well, that's easy--PHP thinks there's an error in your syntax. I don't know why, because what you posted looks OK to me, but it does. Try running this as the only line in index.php:
-
same error
Parse error: parse error in /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/index.php on line 5
-
This can't be right. index.php is just one line, right? How is there a parse error in line 5? This is really a PHP problem, not an e-smith issue, but this doesn't make sense to me. Maybe you should try deleting this file and making a new one; something might be corrupted in the file (and yes, I'm grasping at straws here).
-
deleting and building an new file did the trick. Thanks.

If that's exactly what appears in the file, then the problem is the space between the ? and PHP. Delete "PHP" and it should work fine.

thanks, that was part of the problem, now I continue it have parse error when I attempt to use a "else" statemtent. I can take php code that tests out fine in a windows environment then crashes on the e-smith. Any ideas would be welcome.
