Again PHP problems

[Guust]

Hi,

I'm from Safe2Surf webhosting and we are using DA control panel. I love it very much, but we keep getting problems with php scripts. Some customers have bassicscripts (paidscripts) and even they are not working properly. Is it posseble to enable all PHP4 options? Because I think there lies the problem.

Thanx a lot

Hello,

The only php problem we've encountered is the register_globals issue, which is supposed to be off (http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php ). Many scripts simply require this to be on, so turning it on will fix any issues 99% of the time.

Ok, I finally know what the 'problem' is my customers have:
They use GD Library in there scripts and this function have to be enabled. Is this possible?

thanx

I also would like to have safe mode enabled. Does anyone know how I can enable this options?

Hello,

GD *should* be installed already. You can double check this by creating a php file with the following contents:
<? phpinfo(); ?>

This will generate everything you could ever want to know about what's enable and installed.

As for safemode, you can either make the changes in an .htaccess file, or you can edit: /usr/local/lib/php.ini directly.

I tryed this one:
php_value register_globals 1
php_value safe_mode 1

register_globals is enabled now but safe_mode isn't.
I think this is because:

safe_mode_exec_dir no value no value
safe_mode_gid Off Off
safe_mode_include_dir no value no value

How comes there aren't php and mysql errors when a php/mysql scripts isn't working properly.

Normaly you get an error from php/mysql. Could this be enabled?

The scripts themselves could be disabling errore (of their own).

That last thing you could try is to re-copy the stock php.ini in case the other one was modified to cause these errors.
As root, run:
cp -f /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/php-4.3.3/php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Note that register globals will turned off, so if you are dependant on them being on, you'll need to do that in this file.

If that doesn't work, then there is either an .htaccess file turning the errors off, or the code itself.
