[SOLVED] Php problem

[savaries]

Im new to php and am having some trouble that i am hoping you will all be able to help me with.

 

I have installed php on a windows 2003 server and set it up correctly(i believe) to run becuse i can make this test page

 

http://www.blogofshadows.net/test.php

 

work. The problem starts there, im trying to install some php software and im getting this strange message at the top of the page.

 

Warning: popen(whereis php,r) [function.popen]: No such file or directory in D:\Websites\Blog Of Shadows\install\index.php(1561) : runtime-created function on line 3

 

being new to this im totally at a loss on what is needed here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks to me like the application you are trying to install may be made for Linux. I'm not sure the whereis command exists for windows.

 

What are you trying to install?

dolphin its a community software but i think my problem may lie in this bit of code.

 

	$confFirst['dir_mogrify'] = array(
name => "Path to mogrify",
ex => "/usr/local/bin/mogrify",
desc => "If mogrify binary doesn't exist please install <a href='http://www.imagemagick.org/'>ImageMagick</a>",
def => "/usr/local/bin/mogrify",
    def_exp => "
	if ( file_exists(\"/usr/X11R6/bin/mogrify\") ) return \"/usr/X11R6/bin/mogrify\";
	if ( file_exists(\"/usr/local/bin/mogrify\") ) return \"/usr/local/bin/mogrify\";
	if ( file_exists(\"/usr/bin/mogrify\") ) return \"/usr/bin/mogrify\";
	if ( file_exists(\"/usr/local/X11R6/bin/mogrify\") ) return \"/usr/local/X11R6/bin/mogrify\";
	if ( file_exists(\"/usr/bin/X11/mogrify\") ) return \"/usr/bin/X11/mogrify\";
	return '';",
check => 'return strlen($arg0) >= 7 ? true : false;'
);

 

i think its actually asking me where these files are but im not sure what the full path its checking is.

 

here is some info that might help you to figure out if i am right or not.

 

my website directory is D:\websites\<sitename>

anyway in the site i have the /usr/bin/mogrify file but im not sure if that code is looking there or not

like is it just checking d:/usr/bin/mogrify or the d:\websites\<sitename>/usr/bin/mogrify.

 

is there a way i can change that code to check that spacific location maby that would fix it?

sorry agian for the strange question im new to php

Beside the fact that that code looks pretty terrible, all those paths are Linux paths, not windows. As far as I can tell, you would probably need to do a few modifications to get said app installed on windows.

This software is said to work on windows and the majority of the page works. how would i make

if ( file_exists(\"/usr/bin/X11/mogrify\") ) return \"/usr/bin/X11/mogrify\";

point to

d:/Website/usr/local/bin/mogrify

they way i tried

if ( file_exists(\"D:/Website/usr/local/bin/mogrify\") ) return \"D:/Website/usr/local/bin/mogrify\";

dose not seam to work.

i figured out what i was doing wrong with two of them but, and i know this is a really noob question, i don't know what file its referring to when it asks for the php interpretor.

Have you installed php's cli (command line interface)? I'm not sure where this would be in windows (im a linux user) but I think you'll be looking for a php.exe file.

yep i found it and i think i might have finally found my problem. For some reason i cant get php 5.4.2 to recognize my Mysql database installed. it only have the MsSql one for our Warehouse site. If it would help at all i could post some info shots from the server, but so far if i run this script

 

<?php
$mysql = function_exists('mysql_connect') ? "mysql is here2" : "mysql NOT here2";
$mysqli = (function_exists('mysqli_init') || extension_loaded('mysqli')) ? "mysqli is here" : "mysqli NOT here";
$pgsql = function_exists('pg_connect') ? "pgsql is here" : "pgsql NOT here";

print "$mysql<br />";
print "$mysqli<br />";
print "$pgsql<br />";
return;
?>

 

they all come back as not there.

Then your version of php does not have support for mysql or postgres. You will need to configure it before you try and install this application.

 

I'm sorry, I can't be of much help with windows configurations but there is a sticky thread at the top of PHP Help that addresses this.
