Apache2/PHP4, is there an issue?
Hi all, I just upgraded to SuSE 9.1 Personal and found that an apache1 package didn't exist so I installed apache2. I have a program that worked before, under SuSE 9.0 and apache1/php4, but it doesn't work now. The error message is: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_start() I've heard bad things about PHP4/Apache2. Is this error because of an incompatibility between PHP4 and Apache2 or is it the program? If it is because of Apache2, what can I do? Do I need to install PHP4/Apache1? Can I do that via YaST or do I have to via src? ----- Mike Marseglia :: mike@ponaganset.org

If you haven't run YOU since installing apache2, then do so. There are issues with apache2/php4 that get patched with the first YOU update after you install them. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.75-default
Thanks Scott. I did that and it seems to be working OK, though the vendor's website still cautions against it. I don't understand enough of the goings on between Apache2 and PHP4. Scott Leighton writes:

I still have one issue with apache2/php/mysql, it won't work with mysql, bad username/password for stuff like phpMyAdmin, phpwebsite, anything in php that needs to use mysql. All modules are installed and the databases are accessible from the command line. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer ===== LINUX ONLY USED HERE =====

Did you check the register_globals setting? It defaults to off since php 4.2 or so? http://www.zend.com/zend/art/art-sweat4.php Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.75-default

Yes, also the comments in php.ini and it is set to off, I haven't yet tried with it set to on. It did work in 9.0, so I did not check whether it was on or off then. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer ===== LINUX ONLY USED HERE =====
autoglobals was off in 9.0. I ran into the same problem and had to set it to
on. It's a security risk but so much of the existing authentication makes
use of the autoglobal features.

Have you got package php4-session installed?
Hi List, Does anyone have any idea what I need to load (rpm's etc) in order to get my Standard Server 8 box running the dhcpd daemon. I am not sure how to get this installed and running since I did not select it as a server option when I initially loaded the server. I cannot simply reload the server so I have to learn how to do it manually. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. Jonathan Hughes Tech Support Specialist MCP / MCSD Goodyear South Africa

Go into YaST, add/remove software, choose the search option for packages and search for dhcp. You should get a list of packages - of which you need to select "dhcp-server", which will automatically select its required packages. Fron there all you need to do is edit /etc/dhcpd.conf according to your needs (or use the YaST module if you've installed it) and set dhcpd to start from the runlevel editor. Good luck! Jesse
