[PHP] php pages broken after moving to a newer version
I have a web site on a server running freebsd-4.2/mysql-3.23.10/php-4.0.3pl1. I am replacing that machine with a new box running freebsd-4.7/mysql-3.23.52/php-4.2.3. After copying the web site to the new server some pages no longer include the 'include' pages. I am using php frames. I load the index page, it's just blank, white. I can load the included pages manually through the url and they load okay. I am wondering if there is something in the php config file I need to set for the include path, but when I was in that file I didn't see any such setting, like in the earlie versions of php. Any suggestions?
