php doesn't work fine with apache 1.3.26

kalkama

Hi I installed Apache atlast after IIS crapped up on me so many times. I am using the SAPI module with Apache.. At first I had some problems getting it up but it worked... now the thing is that I am developing a site on my Win2k machine I have a login page.. which uses session vars to login user.. When I enter the right user name and password I can see the session been created but the user doesnt get redirected to the normal page after login.. it comes back to itself.. I have no clue of what is happening right now as I am stuck with this.. also I checked my error log for apache and I got this :

File does not exist: c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/scripts/..%2f/winnt/system32/cmd.exe

I checked on google and found that its a worm probe or soemthing.... need help to prevent this from happening as well.. Please help

🙁

I have apache 1.3.26 and php 4.2.2 on windows me, and it works fine. I don't know much about session vars though, so I can't help you with that. The error message in your error.log is nothing to worry about. You were probably being spidered on IIS too, you just didn't know it.

Hmm.. I got Apache 1.3.26 and I am using PHP 4.2.3 on Win2k.. I am using the SAPI module from PHP to be used by Apache.. I can surf to a PHP Page without any problem. I can even look out for phpinfo() from a page, but previously I worked with Ultradev to create a PHP page using PHakt that worked perfectly with IIS.

Now I am not using IIS and when I surf to that page I can enter the USERNAME and PASS, and when I click on Submit it will submit the form and I even see the Session been created but then it will come back to the login page again instead of the normal page.

In login page I have programmed it to match the username and pass from a MYSQL DB and then create the Session Var and redirect itself to the admin area. Somehow it doesnt even show me the error message if I enter the wrong password (ie. if(isset(var)){show error}). I know it is most probably a setting or some installation issue. Please help me about this. I have had enough with this issue. 🙁

It worked atlast... I had to uninstall PHP 4.2.3, I came to know from the new version that extensive Session Management changes were made to the newer version.. Installed 4.2.2 for now.. will have to do more research on how to make sure future PHP versions work with the code..
