php throwing errors that have everyone I have talked to stymied

[schwim]

Hi there guys,

I installed a client management script on my server ( http://www.whmcs.com ). Part of the installation requires that you create an email forward to a php pipe like so:

pipe to | php -q /home/me/public_html/Clients/pipe/pipe.php

Well, I did that, and the forwarder is indeed forwarding mail, but the sender also gets a bounce email with the following errors:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

pipe to | php -q /home/me/public_html/Clients/pipe/pipe.php
generated by [e-mail]

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

------ pipe to | php -q /home/me/public_html/Clients/pipe/pipe.php
generated by [e-mail] ------

So, for a couple of weeks, I've dealt with both the script vendor, and a gentleman that has been helping me with my server. The script vendor states that php is compiled incorrectly. The server guy states that the script is at fault.

I'm hoping that someone here might be able to make sense of the errors that I'm getting. I would appreciate any help you might be able to provide.

thanks,

So it looks like PHP is trying to load the GD library twice. (Possibly version 1 and version 2, or either version when the bundled version is already installed.)

The server guy states that the script is at fault.

PHP isn't getting as far as processing the script before triggering these messages ("...in Unknown on line 0").

Hi there weedpacket, and thanks very much for the reply.

I tried running "locate gd", which was pretty silly of me as there's a lot of files that will match that search.

I looked at phpinfo, and it states that I've got gd 2.0.28 compiled into php.
In php.ini, I can only find one instance of php loading gd.

How would I go about stopping php from trying to load a second instance of gd?

thanks,

Perhaps the GD library is corrupt, or is an incompatible version with the php extension, or ... ?

What happens if you disable the gd extension in the php.ini file? Does the script run then? Or... does the script utilize gd?

Hi there Brad,

I'm sure the script does utilize GD, as there are some image upload functions.

If you want to see how GD was installed, and which ver, this thread is the one which documented every step of the GD install. Since that thread, a security service updated php to 4.4.4, so that might change something concerning loading of the modules.

Here's where I stand.

As you suggested, I went into php.ini, and commented the loading of the GD module:

;extension=gd.so

I restarted apache

Then I visited my php.ini. It still shows me as having GD 2.0.28 loaded ???

Then I tried the script. My error is gone, and the script seems to be working as it should.

So my question is this:

If I disabled the extension, why is it still loading GD?

Is there anything I need to do to properly load the GD module, or have I done it already?

thanks,
json

[bradgrafelman]

It really sounds like PHP is somehow... parsing two php.ini files? I don't know...

If you make a script that does nothing but a phpinfo(), and you run it from the browser, does the php.ini file path match the one if you do "php -f phpinfo.php" from the CLI?

Rather puzzling situation.

[schwim]

Hi there Brad,

from phpinfo: /usr/local/lib/php.ini
from CLI: /usr/local/lib/php.ini

You can view the info.php here.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm worried that it's breaking something other than just the GD.

thanks,
