68 Classifieds on localhost

[Lhotch +]

Im leaning toward there being an incompatability between 68C and php 5.3. It looks like many people with many scrips are facing similar issues.

Id see if you can get a hold of a slightly older version of LAMP that uses php 5.2

In the mean time I would suggest submitting a trouble ticket to 68C with a good chunk of your error log, LAMP details etc.


Take a peek at this thread as well.


Error when installing 68c

Yer that is where I saw the php advice. Eric puts this in as well Look for $db = &new. Remove the ampersand

its not just that reference, but ALL references in the code for all files will likely need to be changed.

here is a list from a quick search...


/includes/classes/kernel/Users.php (134) $this->_class_tpl = & $class_tpl;
/includes/classes/kernel/Library.php (41) $lib[$className] = & new $className();
/includes/classes/kernel/Library.php (45) $lib[$className] = & new $className($param);
/includes/classes/kernel/Library.php (50) $lib[$className] = & new $className($param, $param2);
/includes/classes/kernel/Library.php (56) $lib[$className] = & new $className($param, $param2, $param3);
/includes/classes/kernel/Library.php (63) $lib[$className] = & new $className($param, $param2, $param3, $param4);
/includes/classes/kernel/Library.php (71) $lib[$className] = & new $className($param, $param2, $param3, $param4, $param5);
/includes/classes/kernel/Library.php (129) $db[0] = & new MySQL($host, $user, $pass, $dbname);


You could make a backup of those two files and then edit them removing the ampersand in the above lines.

hey guys... thanks for all your help..

The reason i am using php5.X , it because i can't use php 4.x on my localhost..
Its compatibility issue with the Apache verions. if i use Apache 1.3.41 with php4.4.9 i get the following error :
------------------------
Server Error
The following error occurred:

[code=SERVER_RESPONSE_RESET] The server response could not be read because of an error. Contact your system administrator.
Please contact the administrator.
----------------------
so i didnt want to waste my time with this. i did my search over the net and nothing was helpful.


do you think guys its something to do with the ioncube???

do i have to installed that in my localhost too? if yes, where? php>ext?


thanks again..

its not 5.X its specifically php 5.3 and higher that cause the reference problem.

i am running php 5.2.9 . will that still the problem? cuz i have tried php 5.1.6 and the wamp server with apache gets crazy with older version.

it might be my VISTA config.. but all smooth when i run apache 2.2.11 and php 5.2.9 ( WHICH I DONT WANT THOSE VERSION as i am trying to get php4.4.9 with apache 1.3.41 as my real server config. ) .


Thanks again for your help.

wamp works fine on 5.2.9 but it didnt on 5.3
You have to find a older version of wamp now too, from meory it was 2.0h give it a go on there and if that still produces errors its not the localhost server.

Hi,

Using the latest version of 68C (Developer 4.2.1), I am experiencing the same problem of using 'localhost', where the user interface works quite fine, but am greeted by a blank page when accessing the administration area. With the site loaded to the hosted position and using the supplied license key, the admin area works quite fine...but I wish to develop the site locally before uploading to its hosted position.

Local Config
=========
Using XAMPP for Windows 1.7.3
PHP: 5.3.1
Apache: 2.2.14
MySQL: 5.1.41

Hosted Config
===========
PHP: 5.2.14
Apache: 2.2.17
MySQL: 5.0.91

I have deleted the 'setup' directory, prior to logging into the admin area.
I have deleted the ampersand in the $db = &new, so that it reads $db = new
(From Lhotch's response, do I need to delete the ampersands globally?)
The licence key is 'localhost' (verified in Connections/classified.php)
Are there STILL issues with 68C working with PHP 5.3.x?

What else do I need to check...or provide?

Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks.
