Greetings. Hope someone out there in cyberland is a PHP 4.2.0 guru
and can give me some advice. I help run a Redhat Linux server (7.1)
with Apache (1.3.24), PHP, and mysql (3.23). Today I tried
upgrading our PHP from 4.1.2 to 4.2.0 only to find that it caused a
number of things to go wrong.
First of all it couldn't connect to the mysql database because it
was looking for the real host name and not 'localhost' as specified
in the mysql user table and at mysql_connect. I thought that was a
little odd. Then Apache started throwing fatal errors (
FATAL: emalloc(): Unable to allocate -214840 bytes) not to mention
other problems. I finally had to reinstall 4.1.2 over it to make
everything work again. Has anybody out there successfully upgraded
to PHP 4.2.0 without having a bunch of trouble?
Thanks in advance,
Lee
