Re: RedHat 8.0 PHP

2003-01-16 Thread Adam H. Pendleton
To get PHP working on RedHat 8.0, you almost certainly have to change short_open_tags = Off to short_open_tags = On in /etc/php.ini. This is the single biggest problem people have faced with getting PHP to work on RH 8.0. Before you start mucking around with installing, downgrading, or any

POSIX.1b and RedHat

2003-01-14 Thread Adam H. Pendleton
I was wondering what the status of the POSIX.1b interfaces are on RedHat systems. I don't see them on my RH 8 system, so I'm assuming that RedHat doesn't include them, but is there a library somewhere that I can use with my RH 8 system to create POSIX.1b programs? ahp PGP.sig Description:

Unless I am mis-understanding what you are trying to do, the option you want is --nodeps, not --force. This installs the RPM package without checking dependencies. However, BE CAREFUL. I understand that package dependencies can be a pain, but it is a necessary evil, and can really save your

Well, I've figured out why PHP doesn't work, and in doing so tied in my other post about php.ini. RedHat, for reasons I don't quite understand, have decided to change the value of short_open_tag to Off. It is on by default on 7.3, but the value is changed to Off in the php update. It

The recursive flag is -R, not -r. From the cp man page: Historic versions of the cp utility had a -r option. This implementation supports that option, however, its use is strongly discouraged, as it does not correctly copy special files, symbolic links or fifo's. Try using cp -R.

The function that you want to modify is echo_success() in the /etc/init.d/functions file. Change the OK on line 308 (at least it's 308 in my functions file), to done. Keep in mind, however, that that this will change all the [OK]'s to [done]'s, not just the [OK] for the network startup. ahp
