Hey guys,

This is not an asp.net technical question, but I thought maybe someone here could help me out.

I need to switch web hosts. The one I have now has terrible customer service and thinks that it is normal to take the web server down for several hours every day, and not bother to tell their customers that they do so. I found them through Google and I don't want to try that again.

I've tried looking for recommendations elsewhere, but all the ones I've found have been for Apache web servers. I need an IIS web server that has: ASP.NET/ADO.NET and PHP4/5 supported, MySQL or SQL Server databases, along with the standard mail accounts, web statistics, ftp access, etc. It's just for a couple personal sites, so I don't need a lot of bandwith or space, just need reliable servers with little downtime and good customer service.

Any recommendations?

FIXED. Thanks to hipmaestro -- I downloaded PHP 4.3.11 and upgraded my installation, and it's fixed. :)

I've been working at this since last night -- and I'm quite clueless about what's happening. I was thinking that it could possibly be that my system has been working too long and there are weird memory leaks (yes, I have no more good ideas) so I thought I'd just go back in the morning... but now it's morning and the error is still there. The error is-- at some point of the script, a certain variable gets overwritten with the text of the next variable.

This is how the script is set up: there is a config file that's included all over the place -- in all the visible pages and in each function (I'm toying with the idea of using constants instead, but for now this is what I'm using). The config file has the database variables, and along the top I define the connection stuff:

$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'username';
$db_password = 'password';
$db_database = 'databasename';

• get_setting( $settingshortname );
• get_setting_title( $settingshortname );
• get_setting_desc( $settingshortname );
• update_setting( $settingshortname, $newvalue );
• ...

echo '$db_user is now: ' . $db_user . '

';
$db_server = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'username';
$db_password = 'password';
$db_database = 'databasename';
echo '$db_user is now: ' . $db_user . '

';

Notice: Undefined variable: db_user in D:\Site\devt\Enth3\enth3\config.php on line 11
$db_user is now:

$db_user is now: password

Hi all, I recently landed a new job. The people that work there use Eclipse. I have been playing around with it to try and get a feel for it before I start next week and I am running into a couple of problems. I was hoping one of you would not mind giving me some pointers.

I have:

Eclipse Version: 3.1.2
XAMPP very 2.1

I installed Eclipse into the XAMPP directory as instructed.

To my understanding XAMPP will run Apache, MySql, PHP and PERL when the computer starts as I think I set them up as services.

I wrote a little test program using a set of functions that I have been using for a while now. The test program includes a config file that has the full include list in it. For some reason none of my files are being included. I do a require instead of an include, it does not fail but the functions are still not available. I can see the files are the in Eclipse's browser so I am not sure why they are not being found.

There are buttons in Eclipse for starting and stopping XAMPP. These seem to have no effect on XAMPP at all.

Any clues suggestions would be helpful. I have looked on the net all day but have not found anything I can really seem to understand. I have read the help files for Eclipse but they only pertain to Eclipse itself and not the add ons.

cross posted*

Thanks

Hi,

I've got Apache 2, with PHP 5 running on Windows 2003 Server. I've installed websvn to browse our source code repository.

However, when it attempts to run svn look, it fails as svn is not on the path for the user apache is running as.

Is there a way I can configure this path into PHP? Or do I have to mess around with the environment variables for the user apache runs as?

I've decided to finally start learning PHP. I've been doing rather well, until I decided to chop up my template structure a bit more.

Originally I had my directory structure like so:

HTTPDEV
..bin
....js
..Data
..Templates
....footers
....headers
....mains
....navs
....images
....styles
....miscs

I have my main page (proj1.php) in the HTTPDEV folder, with all of the other files down the hierarchy.

I've added a bodies folder beneath Templates, and to put the code to include items from footers, headers, mains, navs, miscs, etc in it.

This is the code in proj1.php under the bodies directory:

?php
				echo "div id=\"header\">";

				require('../headers/proj1.html');

				echo"/div>";
				echo"div id=\"container\">";
				echo"div id=\"center\" class=\"column\">";
				
				require('../mains/proj1.html');

				echo"";
				echo"div id=\"left\" class=\"column\">";

				require('../navs/proj1.html');

				echo"/div>";
				echo"div id=\"right\" class=\"column\">";
				
				require('../miscs/proj1.html');

				echo"/div>";
				echo"/div>";
				echo"div id=\"footer\">";

				require('../footers/proj1.html');

				echo"/div>";
?

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to apache, my experince doesn't extend much further than .htaccess files. But I want to have a Java API for creating/managing such files.

Does anyone know of any existing java toolkits/apis?

I understand that apache configs files can be xml docs too. Managing xml docs (rather text docs) is probably more java friendly, but I don't seem to be able to find much info on xml apache config files. Can anyone suggest something?

I found a good cgi app written in perl... it's called webmin but I'd like to know if there's a java api

Thanks in advance.

Corin.

I am responsible for implementing a new company intranet. I have experience setting up Drupal on my web host for my personal portfolio site, I set up the intranet on my G4 at work, but the Windows/IIS server causes all sorts of problems and the IT dept is unable to solve them, so there goes two weeks of work down the drain for me. I even asked them before I started if it was going to be a problem. Anyhow now they've set up Dotnetnuke and it is up but seems quite buggy, ie every 6th click results in a database error page. Yes I am definitely more of a front end designer and though I work mainly on Mac, by far an elitist (at least as far as OSs are concerned).
Just for my own knowledge, what would the advantages over using Windows/IIS server/ASP vs Linux/Apache/PHP?
A friend of mine suggests its just that most IT people learn the Microsoft stuff in school and that's what they stay with.
Any insight would be appreciated.

I have a question that I can’t seem to find a solution to in the apache documentation.

I have a directory that I am serving with two different virtual servers, in server 1 I want it to default to using index.php, in server2 I have a different index file that I want it to use. As far as I can tell the “DirectoryIndex” directive only adds another file to the end of the list of possible indexes, how do I clear that list in a virtual host?

I am trying to install PEAR on a Windows XP machine. I have Apache, PHP and MySql running. I followed the installation instructions very carefully. However all my paths were screwed after the installation was complete. I reinstalled PEAR and now everything looks correct. However (there is always a however) the PEAR_Error package seems to be missing. When I make a new DB object I get a message saying Pear_Error cannot be found.

Using the list function for the CLI I can see the packages that are installed. However when I try to use the CLI to verify the packages it says they cant be found.

Has anyone else loaded PEAR in the same environment as me? Are there problems with the CLI and Windows?

Thanks.

I'm not sure where I should search for the answer on my question, so I decided to ask you guys :-) Thanks in advance for everyone who can help.

There is a FreeBSD server where an apache is installed. One httpd process is listening to port 80 and works as a proxy for the other httpds which work on a number of virtual hosts. These httpds also listen to some port which shouldn't be shown to the web-sites' visitors.

In the text of the proxy httpd's httpd.conf we have such a code:


ServerName megaserver.su
DocumentRoot /home/megaserversu/www
ProxyPass / http://www.megahoster.su:32001/
ProxyPassReverse / http://www.megahoster.ru:32001/
#CacheRoot "/usr/local/apache/proxy/"


Then a visitor asks for megaserver.su, the proxy httpd send a request to the corresponding httpd of that site and returns the data as if it have taken if from its own folders. The problem appears when one requests a folder like megaserver.su/superfolder/ - if there is a trailing slash then everything is fine, but if there isn't... it's fine too, except of the address represented by browser that transforms to http://megaserver.su:32001/superfolder/

Just in case:

There are such lines in the configs of the proxy and personal httpds:

LoadModule dir_module libexec/apache2/mod_dir.so
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so

I understand that I should set somehow that the requests for folders without trailing slash should be treated as the one with it, but which module really does it? I've read the docs on these two modules but couldn't determine how to make it do what I want. Maybe it's better just to rewrite the address string on the proxy httpd using mod_rewrite, is it possible? Which way is better?

Hello All

I'm sorry if this is a painfully stupid question, but I've tried looking everywhere on the interweb for an answer, but to no avail.

I'm running apache 1.3 in XP at the moment, and am using it as a development server, as I'm currently trying to make and test a little pet project of mine using php and mysql. When I try to connect to the server through a browser (by typing "http:/ /localhost"), it loads the index page fine, but if I try any of the links off of that page, IE insists I connect to the internet, despite the fact they are locally hosted, and are in the htdocs folder. I'm certain the server is running, it just won't let ne access them through a browser. I'm pretty sure It's something blatently obvious, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou greatly

Sam

I've been looking for a good IDE that supports PHP and have been unable to find anything really useful. I'd prefer it if I could have a streamlined updating feature, because manual updating via FTP/[insert uploading method here] is a real drag. The best I've found so far has been a plug-in for Eclipse. However, it's really laggy (every time I go to type a variable name, I get a pop-up of EVERY INSTANCE of EVERY PHP VARIABLE NAME in the entire Eclipse project), and Eclipse's WebDAV support seems very broken, with no intentions on fixing it (a stupid decision, IMHO, considering WebDAV support is touted as a major Eclipse feature).

Anybody have any recommendations? I'm really accustomed to the way IDEs such as Visual Studio, NetBeans and Eclipse work. I'm on a tight budget ($0) and I'd prefer if the solution was Free. An added plus would be WebDAV, SFTP or SCP support. My Debian server's running Apache2 with the WebDAV plugin turned on and working pretty efficiently. I have proftpd installed and marginally working, although I'd rather not use that due to no encryption. To the best of my knowledge, I don't have an SFTP or SCP daemon running on that machine (unless there's one magically bundled with proftpd).
