[Core-lan-org-devel] problem with getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") failing

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi,

I've just installed core, and am having a problem where,
when I initally try to log in as admin, I get the error
"No ip address found."

If I log in as an invalid user, or with a bad password,
I get "Access denied" (so it's talking to the db.)

My setup is:
RedHat 8
core-lan-org-2.0.2.tar.gz
php-4.2.2-8.0.5
postgresql-7.2.3-5.80
httpd-2.0.40-8

Has anyone seen this?  I suspect something in the Apache 2
config, but I wrote a little test.pl to print out the
env vars, went to it in my browser and they're all there,
including REMOTE_ADDR.

I don't really know much about php, but I tried the
<?php
  phpinfo;
  ?>
trick and didn't get anything back, just an empty page
with "<html><body></body></html>"

Which is confusing, because it seems that php must be working
to some degree for me to get the login screen and errors and such.

----

A few notes on improving the inital setup instructions:

- The INSTALL file didn't seem to match up with my
version of createuser, which doesn't take a '-U' to
specify the user.

- The INSTALL file should recommend a user name and a db
name, and the sample config.php should use these values.
