php5/php4 woes

[hbidad]

I'm having an issue with using php5 (dso) and php4 (cgi as a secondary)

php5 works fine, but when switched to php4 in cPanel or through .htaccess the following error is displayed.

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=21) state=1 in /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php4 on line 382

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ' in /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php4 on line 382

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php4 on line 382

I recompiled a few times, removed /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php4 and ran /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf

Any insight?

I have the same problem.
Any ideas?

Have you had any Luck with this?

Hello,

You can fix it by enabling the option cgi.fix_pathinfo=0 in the php.ini. It worked out for me.

Yes, this worked for me.

In /usr/local/php4/lib/php.ini

Under
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

UNCOMMENT this line

;cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

(i.e. remove the ";" infront)

and

CHANGE 0 to 1:

cgi.fix_pathinfo=1

Save and that's it. Instant fix!

Thanks...

That made the error go away, but the database now says that it is broken.


Database error
The database has encountered a problem.

hmmmm

If you are running 2 versions of php and you try to change php4 to run n cgi handler this issue has been reported. Another solution would be to use suphp which will have almost the same effect. But then you will have to clear the cache and session information for all the domains to function properly.

The database issue you mentioned does no seems to be related to this issue. Please make sure mysql modules on php has been enabled properly.
