php/Modernbill Question

[phoenixisp]

I have setup one server with RH9, Plesk 7.5.3 and Modernbill and everything works well. But I tried to setup another one and have run into a problem.

When I try to run the install script using the browser I get this error:

Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/vhosts/secure.domain.com/httpsdocs/modernbill/install_v4/index.php on line 89

I have Zend installed and I think that's where my problem is. I inserted a info.php page and noticed a difference in the configuration file path.

On the server that works it's "/etc/php.ini"

On the one that doesn't it's "/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini"

What would cause this and how do I fix it?

Thanks,

Sonny

make sure /etc/php.ini is linked to /usr/local/zend/php.ini. You can do this like so

login through ssh as root
mv /etc/php.ini /etc/php.ini`date -I`
ln -s /usr/local/Zend/php.ini /etc/

service httpd restart

That didn't go well. When i did:

mv /etc/php.ini /etc/php.ini`date -I`


I got :

bash: command substitution: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
mv: '/etc/php.ini' and '/etc/php.ini' are the same file

And if I try:

ln -s /usr/local/Zend/php.ini /etc/

I get:

ln: `/etc//php.ini': file exists

Just do:

mv /etc/php.ini /etc/php.ini.backup
ln -s /usr/local/Zend/php.ini /etc/

basically he wants you to backup the original php.ini file to another name, then symlink the one in the /usr/local/Zend/ to /etc/

Also make sure the path name is correct for your system, it should be, but who wants to 'assume'?

If you get an error on the second command, then do a:

locate php.ini

and you will see all occurances of php.ini on the system, and their paths.

Egads!!

Just for grins I retried the Modernbill install and it's working, go figure!!!

Thanks tiredofchex, even with the errors above it seems to have worked.
