Error 200, Desparate for help, problem with Abyss?

[sajanisch]

I am at wits end, web searches, forum searches
I cannot seem to solve this problem
Help me please....

Abyss Web Server X1 1.2.0 Beta 2
PHP 4.3.2
MySQL 4.0.16

I have downloaded and installed a PHP application
(opensource, called MoreGroupWare)
It functions fine with one exception
Immediately after login instead of getting
redirected to startup page, I get "Error 200" from Abyss

I have:
REDIRECT_STATUS set in Abyss
(no spaces, upper and lower case tried)
Alias's and CGI interpreter setup correctly in Abyss
(this app and other behave fine, except for this redirect issue)
Tried many combinations of PHP.INI settings
(cgi.fix_pathinfo, cgi.redirect_status_env, cgi.force_redirect, doc_root, register_globals)

But cannot get past this error

the actual redirect statement from the PHP script is as follows:

redirect("modules/".$_SESSION["MGW"]->settings["def_module"]."/index.php?".SID);

I have also tried changing the redirect statement to hard code the actual next script name

Any ideas appreciated,
Scott :evil: :?:

All I can tell you is that an HTTP Code 200 means that the server returned absolutely no data. The other guys here can help you out as to how to fix it...

sajanisch,

Have you tried setting "register_globals" to "on" in PHP.ini. The problem is not with redirection and so on since you get error 200.
The problem is that your script sent no data to the server. And this happens with scripts that rely on the old PHP variables naming convention. When "register_globals" is "off", the script cannot get the real value for its varaibles (all of them are empty) and it doesn't work. This is a known problem with PHPNuke, PHPbb and other well known script.

The only solution is to configure PHP to work with the old convention by setting "register_globals" to "on" .

yep, I have tried register_globals=on and other combinations of several php.ini variables listed in original post. (to make sure this morning I reinstalled php and the default php.ini and set register_globals to on and tried it again)

still same behavior

I'm no PHP expert so it's hard for me to figure out if it's the application or the web server. I'm sure they will each point to the other as the problem.

It's also a case where the app. (MoreGroupWare) only officially supports Apache and IIS but I want to use Abyss ('cause it's such a great server of course!)

any chance someone out there could try a MoreGroupWare install (opensource) with abyss and see if the get the same problem?
(need mySql installed also)

thanks, Scott

If the script is embedded in an IF statement and the error is returned as a result in the same statement, comment out the error return statement. This worked for me in the emailer.php within Invisionboard, although it wont catch a genuine error..

sajanisch,

We'll give it a try and give you more feedback ASAP.

sajanisch,

We apologize for being so late. We were very busy launching the new version of Abyss. We will give MoreGroupWare a try in a few hours and we recommend that you send an email to support@aprelium.com to get a reply as soon as possible (just say "MoreGroupWare?" so that we know who you are :D ).
