PHP problem?

jrdeahl

I have abyss x2. Running php5. I have some pics I am displaying with an index.php and it works fine. I am now trying to install mysql and phpmtadmin and I can't get the setup.php to run.
Upon examination I noticed php is not a running process. Is it supposed to be a windows service? If so, how do I get it to load atomaticlly?
Thanks,
jake

I went over to the underground site and followed their instructions for php5.
No difference but still can't get a test.php or the phpmysql setup.php to display. What I get is a webpage that says it can not be displayed.
This is really odd because I set php5 up a while back to display pictures via an index.php file and it works.

any help appreciated.
Thanks,

I have tried everything I have thought of. I can sit here and access the test.php file and I will get a 404 page saying it can't be found and yet if I watch the log it will add the path and 404 error to the access.log.
Of course all the test.php files I have tried to access are there.
This is frustrating!

Is the file you are trying to access in the htdocs folder?

jrdeahl

I do have a copy of the file I am trying to access in several places for test purposes. Including htdocs. None of them are giving me anything other than 404 errors.
I have added php.ini to windows directory. Put path in windows environment. All to no avail.

How are you trying to access the file?
http://127.0.0.1/test.php

jrdeahl

Through the web server via 127.0.0.1 and through a different computer via domain name to a web page with the php script.

The file extension is defiantly test.php and not test.php.txt as notepad may automatically save files with a .txt extension

jrdeahl

No, they are not test.php.txt. All the different php scripts are php ext without the txt from notepad.
One of the confusing things is the photo display php file is index.php. It works. If I uninstall php it does not work.
I guess that means only php scripts that will run is index.php.
Does that mean anything to anybody?

I finaslly managed to get an error displayed.

You are missing mbstring for your php install.

jrdeahl

It is in my php5 directory. And php5 is in the path.

olly86

have you enabled the extension in your php.ini configuration file?

jrdeahl

Yes I do.
I believe I have found the problem.
My abyss interepter setup showed c:\php5\php-cgi.exe on the screen. But when I opened up the abyss.conf file it was c:\program files\php5\php-cgi.exe.
I changed it and now i think it works.

Fiasco, would you care to explain why you've bumped 2 posts today with no meaningful contributions? You said the exact same thing I said over a month ago.

its probably a bot....bumpin topics wiv existing posts is one tell tale sign...and they also advertise a web design site in their profile, so those 2 things alone lead me to believe its a bot
