UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? createtable once again

Well, just another guy with problems with the createtable.php (PHP-Version 5.3)

after doing ./createtable.php this was the only result

./createtable.php: ?: No such file or directory
./createtable.php: //: is a directory
./createtable.php: //: is a directory
./createtable.php: //: is a directory
./createtable.php: line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `(r'
./createtable.php: line 5: `// Rick Baker ([email protected])'


This is what is in the file:

<?
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// WWWThreads - PHP
// Wired Community Software
// Rick Baker ([email protected])
// (c) Copyright 1999-2000
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Require the library
require ("main.inc.php");

hm...what can be the problem? The file? or something with my ISP and his php (yepp, the got php4 runnung now)...


and...as a second question...is it possible that it is a fault to install the PHP-Version into the cgi-bin directory??

You can't run the createtable.php file from the command line. This file needs to be run via the web browser. Just bring this script up in your browser and it should work ok.

no, it does not work...

all files are uploaded, the database is ready to work, the config.inc.php file is editet, the chmods are set, the URL was right, i followed the installation guide for hosted sites - but after minutes the script is not up with the browser...no matter if i use Internet Explorer 5.5, Netscape 4.75 or 6 or the Opera in 5.11

If it's hanging then it could be waiting for some response from the database, though I'm not sure why. Can you bring up other php files ok? Like maybe try bringing up the faq_english.php file as this doesn't make any database calls and should work ok if everything is configured properly.

Wait.... you put the PHP version in the cgi-bin directory? When running from the webserver, the webserver tried to execute everything in cgi-bin as an compiled program (C, C++) or a shell script (PERL, TCL, etc). Since PHP is neither, it is probably attempting to return raw data to the webserver. This *should* return a 500 Internal Server Error, but apparently it is not.

Try putting the php version in a different directory.

That's right, powerlord, and my installation docs are incorrect in saying that also. I'll get that fixed up asap.

Thanks for pointing it out. []/testimages/icons/smile.gif[/]
