switched hosts, though php is supported, page doesn't appear

[machepap]

Hi,

 

I am so new to this, so bear with me. I rebuilt/redesigned a site that had many errors in the html, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are errors in the php, but I don't know php so I can't be sure. (I just cut and pasted what I needed of the php code.) It worked fine on the old server, but now that my client is switching hosts (to Verio) the page does not appear at all. I understand from the Verio support pages that something has been disabled for security reasons, which might otherwise allow me to see an error message at least.

 

I ran a test script I found on this forum that lets me know that php is supported on the site, so that is not the issue. (it brings up a page headed "php 5.2.6"). Here is the page on the old server, if you'd like to take a look at the code:

Verio lists some code to insert for debugging, but I'm unclear how to use it, and anyway, it is for php version 4.1... that article is here:

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Amy

The code they suggest for debugging will also work with PHP5

 

Just add this

//Turn on display_errors
ini_set('display_errors','1');

// Display ALL errors including notices
error_reporting (E_ALL);

 

At the beginning of your script (right after <?php )

I figured it out (well, it works now anyway) - I noticed that the code called files that were not loaded to the new server. Once I added those files, the page loaded but it looked all wrong. I switched the hosted php version to 4, and voila, it works again. phew.

 

thanks!

It just means your script is coded wrong.

Better have it fixed soon. PHP4 is not supported anymore.
