Hello, I'm trying to verify php4 and php4-mysql were installed 'and' configured correctly but don't know how to 'verify' that's true. Below is an excerpt from /etc/php4/apache/php.ini which says
In order for PHP to ; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current ; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable ; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order). Ok, 'but' the php.ini file was not created upon install-- the excerpt and file are from another server so is there a problem with the config. dpkg -l | grep php4 and php4-mysql show 'ii' as installed dpkg -s shows installed and configured properly. dpkg -reconfigure-php4 says 'not installed or not a deb conf package' I did have trouble installing the two packages together. I assumed this was because php4-mysql would naturally complain until php4 is set-up so the packages ended up with dpkg iU. Apt showed: Rotated `/etc/apache/httpd.conf' at Tue Mar 5 17:28:37 PST 2002. Rotated `/etc/apache/srm.conf' at Tue Mar 5 17:28:37 PST 2002. Restart Apache now? [Y/n] Y /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started dpkg: error processing php4 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of php4-mysql: php4-mysql depends on php4 (= 4.0.3pl1-0potato3); however: Package php4 is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing php4-mysql (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: php4 php4-mysql E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) so I ran deselect and configured unconfigured packages; chose the defaults. I believe they were something like 'do you want to load mysql.so y/N I chose no. I believe this is correct since I'm installing this stuff on a mysql database server. The php module was loaded into httpd.conf and apache -t says ok. the actual question: if I didn't get a default php.ini file from the install script, can I copy one from another server and use it in it's place or will it not read the file? Man this s*** makes me nervous cause I have to migrate this site but I can't test it nor services till I cut over dns. Thanks for any help. justin
