Hi,

I was running a small LAMP setup on my home network with Ubuntu 9.4. Every thing was working OK. I then upgraded to 10.04 and now my php does get executed. Apache is still working, but I suspect something in the config has changed, but I don't know what.

When I try to load a .php file, the resultant web page is just blank, if I have a .html file with php code in it, the page is not rendered from the point where the php starts. I have checked /var/log/apache2/error.log and there is nothing in that file.

Any body got any ideas where I could look??

thanks,

Hi,

You should take a look at apache error_log.
Also you can set "display_errors = On" in php.ini and restart apache to see if you get any errors in your browser

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions.

The display errors in php.ini was already set to 'on', however I forced the output of errors to a file and found this:-

but now the question is - does this really mean anything?

That means that you have different php extensions version than the php that is installed

Hi Bathory,

I really appreciate your help here.

I did updates for all packages I could think of, including php, apache and mysql, but I still get the same result.

Do you know how I can fix this. The only way I can think of, is a clean install!!

thanks,

Ununtu 10.04 uses php 5.3, which breaks a lot of existing PHP packages. Karmic (9.10) and before used PHP 5.2. Here is one link with some information:http://www.nickveenhof.be/blog/rever...ucid-lynx-1004

Either search on the error messages your getting (typically you will get indications that something failed because of a deprecated function on line xxx) or search for "ubuntu 10.04 downgrade php" and you will get lots of information on this subject.

I ran into this with the pear mail function, which got hit. The work around in my case was to change the error level to ignore this error.
