RE: [PHP] Site Moved From PHP4 to PHP5 Server - header, location no longer working

It's the oddest thing. I've found the logs but there is no error at all, the server just hangs and the only way to get it back is to restart Apache. ________________________________ From: Ashley Sheridan [mailto:ash@ashleysheridan.co.uk] Sent: Thu 1/7/2010 9:04 AM To: Vernon Webb Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Site Moved From PHP4 to PHP5 Server - header, location no longer working On Thu, 2010-01-07 at 08:57 -0500, Vernon Webb wrote: Didn't know there were php logs, I thought they would be included in the Apache logs, where do I find the php logs? ~V ________________________________ From: Ashley Sheridan [mailto:ash@ashleysheridan.co.uk] Sent: Thu 1/7/2010 8:42 AM To: Vernon Webb Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Site Moved From PHP4 to PHP5 Server - header, location no longer working On Thu, 2010-01-07 at 08:40 -0500, Vernon Webb wrote: That's the odd thing, there is nothing being indicated in the error logs the server just hangs and I have to restart apache in order to get the site back up. First I thought it might be the server so I move over to a different server, but I still have the same issue. What I feel is really odd is the fact that it worked in a previous version of php, so waht's changed? ~V ________________________________ From: Ashley Sheridan [mailto:ash@ashleysheridan.co.uk] Sent: Thu 1/7/2010 7:52 AM To: James McLean Cc: Vernon Webb; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Site Moved From PHP4 to PHP5 Server - header, location no longer working On Thu, 2010-01-07 at 16:50 +1030, James McLean wrote: On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 1:35 PM, Vernon Webb <vernon@comp-wiz.com> wrote: > I move a number of sites from one server to another and one the one server we had php4 and > now we have php5 and since then my server seems to hang every time there is a header, location > redirect.

Off the top of my head it sounds like something is being output before the header, which causes an error. If you also have error display turned off, you will likely just see a white screen with no useful information. Make sure none of your includes have trailing whitespace or are trying to print out information before the header itself. Best bet is to turn on errors and log them, then you will see where the output started if infact that is your issue. Cheers Don't turn on errors if this machine is public, as it could potentially give out more information to people than you want. First, look at the error logs for PHP, which record all the errors you've had with the site, whether you have them displayed or not.

Things like invalid commands in an .htaccess file can cause server crashes.
