Quoting Karasik, Vitaly, from the post of Tue, 13 Jul: > Does your php engine work [== does any php script work]?
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Vitaly. Don't I deserve any credit here? but as I said I discovered it's not really a php4 issue, I'm looking into it. right now I have one Debian stable machine, imp2 is running perfectly fine on woody's PHP4 4.1.2 packages. On the other hand I have a new server, where IMP does not work right (see below), either on 4.1.2 nor after I upgraded to dotdeb.org's php4 4.3.7 (which I must have for other apps on the machine). all other apps like IMP3, squirrelmail, PHPnuke and the rest are working fine. What happens is that surfing to IMP's page gives a blank page, and the apache error log says a function called gc() was redefined in /etc/horde/session.inc. the file DOES seem to have two different definitions of such a function, and they DO seem to be in the same context, as far as I can read PHP and count pairs of {}. the ODD bit about all this is that session.inc is IDENTICAL on the other machine yet IMP works fine! furthermore I renamed one of the two functions so the parser will skip the error, I now DO get the login page at last, I log in, I see it validating the password against the IMAP daemon, doing two queries on the MySQL table, and then returning to the main login screen without a word. purging and reinstalling all related packages from scratch didn't do a thing to help. so as you can see, it's NOT a php4 issue at the moment, it's a very odd application behavior. this is why I informed the list I'm letting the thread go for the meantime, until I find more info. -- Hug the world Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
