PHP file not executed any more

certus · Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 8:12 am Post subject: PHP file not executed any more

Am running Abyss version X1 2.0.0.20 as a localhost on Windows XP Home.
Since yesterday it does not carry out the executable php files any more.
Error Message: "404, Not found."
The URL field in the server would display http://localhost/nameofprogram/executable.php

What might have happened?
I have not made any changes to the Abyss settings or the php.ini in \Windows.

Are all your aliases/users etc still working? There was a bug in earlier versions of Abyss where you configuration could get wiped out on rare occassions if Abyss was closed unexpectedly while running. It should be gone, but it's worth checking.

Also, double check that the PHP configuration is still set up under the scripting options in the console.

Yes, they are still there and working.
I just replaced version 2.0.0.20 with the latest, 2.0.6.
However, the problem still persists.

And the PHP configuration settings in the console?

Any errors showing in your CGI log?

PHP settings in the console are untouched.

The data collection page (HTML form) alsways loads, but the executable php file it sends its data to is not processed.

Here is the current text in the cgi.log, referring to a program called chalgrow:

CGI: [D:\Programs\PHP\php.exe totchgr.php3 ] URI: /uploads/chalgrow/totchgr.php3 Bad executable
CGI: [D:\Programs\PHP\php.exe totchgr.php3 ] URI: /uploads/chalgrow/totchgr.php3 Bad executable

Does D:\Programs\PHP\php.exe exist?
And as php is running as a cgi wouldnt php-cgi.exe be a better choice?

Yes, D:\Programs\PHP\php.exe still exists.

"And as php is running as a cgi wouldnt php-cgi.exe be a better choice?" :
I only see a php.exe in the PHP program. --
Will be online for the next 30 min, then again 1.5 hrs after that.

It's PHP 3.0.18.
Would you recommend the installation of version 4? I hear that version 5 is not yet all that stable.

Would it be ok to downbload

# PHP 5.0.4 installer [2,272Kb] - 31 Mar 2005
(CGI only, packaged as Windows installer to install and configure PHP, and automatically configure IIS, PWS and Xitami, with manual configuration for other servers. N.B. no external extensions included)
md5: 8f951136757600ce78d5e442cb5b1541

?
My php files are still based on php3 coding. Would they work fine with version 5.0.4 installer?

Have to apologize for a reading mistake: my installed php version is 4.3.11, not 3.0.18.
So, back to square 1: why aren't the php files processed?

Uninstalled version 4.3.11 installer and replaced it with 5.04 installer.
Followed install.txt and readjusted Abyss scripting to the new executable php file (D:\programs\PHP\php-cgi.exe) and further copied php5ts.dll into C:\windows\system.
php.ini sits in C:\windows.

The former problem remains. When it comes to executing a *.php3 (or *.php) I receive the 404 error pointing to that php file as 'not found'.

Should I unistall/reinstall Abyss?

certus,

We don't know what are the "adjustments" you've done. So we cannot guess why it is failing. Reinstalling Abyss won't help since the problem is with your php.ini file only.

That's why we recommended installing "our PHP 5" package. Since we know it, we can help you more efficiently locating the origin of this error. Later you can upgrade or downgrade to any version you want to use.

By the way, what are the "adjustments" you've made? Have you set doc_root in php.ini?

Thanks Aprelium, for offerinmg help from the source.
I deliberately have not made any 'adjustments' to php.ini at all yet.

For the previous installation of PHP 4.3.11 you had sent me an adjusted php.ini which I then installed. It worked ok.
I'll send you that file directly to you email address so you can compare it with the php.ini that came with the now installed version PHP 5.0.4.

PS
You talk about "our PHP 5 package". I downloaded/installed PHP 5.0.4 Installer from http://planetmirror.com/downloads.
Did I download the wrong program? If so, pls give precise info what/where to downbload PHP 5.

Ok, I have installed php5 for win, downloaded from the Aprelium server and followed the installation instructions.
While I have been able to set all other parameters, I have the feeling that the link to the interpreter (in my case to D:\Programs\PHP5\php-cgi.exe is not yet established.
When attempting to carry out a php file, I receive the 404 error "not found", in which 'fopund' points to the php file in the url field of the browser.

Here are the current settings in the Scripting Parameters:

Enable Scripts Execution: checked
Interpreters: The fileds for Interpreter and Arguments are empty and Associated Extensions shows php.

Script Paths: I inserted those that are needed, which are
/*.php
/*.inc
/*.txt
/*.php3

(/*.inc and /*txt are called into - includefile - /*.php or /*.php3)

Custom Environment Variables:
Name - REDIRECT_STATUS
Value - 200
Name - PHPRC
Value - D:\Programs\PHP5

I have not made any changes to php.ini.

certus,

What is the full URL you're testing and that gives you error 404?
What is the value of Documents Path in Console > Hosts > Configure > General ?
What is the real full path of the file you're testing (its path on your hard drive)?

1) Full url for testing the program called career:
http://localhost/career/kincareer.htm.
In kincareer.htm its form content is then send to totcareer.php3.
totcareer.php3 sits in the same folder as kincareer.htm.

2) D:\Certus\Uploads (server tree)

3) D:\Certus\Uploads (server tree)\career\totcareer.php3.

Just tested this program again and received the 405 error (method not allowed).

certus,

405 means that files with php3 extension are not well configured to be considered as scripts. Associate php3 with the PHP interpreter.

Done that.
Scripting Parameters, Interpreters, Ass. Extensions: php and php3.
Those two also appear in Script Path, Virtual Path.

Alas, I still receive the 405 error.
