[Phpwiki-talk] "cannot redeclare _http_user"

[Tim P. <tw...@rn...>]

Yannick Lefebvre wrote last month to describe a problem he was
having with 1.3.11-rc3 on IIS 6.0:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _http_user() (previously declared in D:\WWW\INTRANET\phpwiki\configurator.php:71) in D:\WWW\INTRANET\phpwiki\configurator.php on line 70

I have been seeing exactly the same error on a Red Hat machine:

[client nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare _http_user() (previously declared in .../phpwiki/configurator.php:71) in .../phpwiki/configurator.php on line 70

This machine is running Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora) and PHP/4.3.11.

In my case, the answer was (at least partly) that I had not set
ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PASSWD in config/config.ini.  (The INSTALL and
README files did not tell me that I had to do this, and it was not
clear from the comments in config-dist.php that it was mandatory,
so I skipped over it.)
