Stumped. PHP & Parsing

RaelOM · 09-11-2008, 08:15 AM

So I'm stumped.

I have two php files. One is parsed when ran on the command line and displayed from a browser (info.php)

The other is not parsed or at least I don't believe it's being parsed (index.php)

/usr/local/bin/php

PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: Sep 5 2008 09:37:16)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies

Can anyone help walk me through some troubleshooting here?

Goal? I'm trying to install CACTI and get the index.php of cacti to work and right now it's showing nothing.

My guess is that the 1st file starts with "<?php", while the other starts with "<?". If that's the case, then edit php.ini and change:

Code:

short_open_tag = On

Don't forget to restart apache after editing php.ini.

No, both files begin with:

"<?php"

Try the change to php.ini to see if it helps. Maybe there is a short tag in the file somewhere else.

That option was already defined in php.ini, however when running "php --ini" to see which config files it's loading I see nothing.

So I symlinked my /etc/php.ini to /usr/local/lib/php.ini and it's now loading that ini file, however it's still not working.

I ran strace and saw a bunch of "Not found" errors which leads me to believe I may have php installed incorrectly?

Anyway I remove the 5.1.6 rpm from my system and am now running a re-install of the 5.2.6 source
