[Mapserver-users] Linux RedHat 9.0 php/mapscript installation

[Benjamin Wragg]

Are you still having trouble Alexander? I had a similar problem a while
back. I narrowed it down to a problem in the php compile. If I used the
--enable-discard-path in my ./configure line for PHP I would get errors
like you:

         **Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=24) state=1
in 
         **/var/www/cgi-bin/php on line 686


         ***Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=8) state=1
in 
         ***/var/www/cgi-bin/php on line 686
         ***...
         ***Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/php

I can't find the page now, but there is a discussion on the zend site
about this and as a work around the user found that compiling PHP
without the --enable-discard-path option seemed to solve the problem.
Please be aware though that the documentation for php says the following
regarding this option:

         --enable-discard-path   If this is enabled, the PHP CGI binary
can safely be placed outside of the web tree and people 
         will not be able to circumvent .htaccess security."

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Benjamin Wragg

I think php 4.3.2 is broken for CGI. I have had a similar problem on 
RH 8.0 on solved it by using PHP-4.3.1
