yeah, if you don't have mcrypt compiled in php bitches at you :)

yes, though I want to make sure you're using oracle. can you give me a
fairly detailed description of your environment? paths to "htdocs"
binarycloud base, what db you're using, etc.


I am using oracle 8.1.6 on Sun Solaris 2.6 with Netscape-Enterprise/4.0 SP5
BB1-8/01/10000:56

There is no htdocs directory with iPlanet but the equivelent is normally by
convention called docs
and located at: /raidb4/iPlanet/server/docs/

I've defined HTDOCS_PATH in defined_constants.conf as the above path.

I've recently decided that the bc specific stuff must go in a subdirectory
though so I've made a directory "bc" and I will be using it.

binarycloud base directory is /raidb4/iPlanet/server/binarycloud

This has popped up in a couple places, I believe you have the "old"
breadcrumbs. I need to dig up the fix and post it for you. Don't worry about
this one, it's peripheral.

Ok

1) you should be able to set the "directoryIndex" in iPlanet, which is
essentially "if a directory is requested, try this list of filenames by
default"


Been there done that, index.php is in the directory index.

2) you're running php in cgi mode, which come to think of it, may be the
only way you can on the iPlanet server (which is why you're getting the
PHPSESSID appended to the url.)

that could be a problem, we'll see.

Nope, running PHP as NSAPI module.

whoa! there's a new one.

which file did you use, create_db.schema?

Under a very strict configuration, with every thing just so I can get the
main page to load and from there I click on storm admin which gives me a
webserver directory index.  I click on index.php and get the storm admin
section.  I then click on create_db.schema and that is the error I get.

Thanks for your help
