I have Apache 1.3.23 + PHP 4.1.1 and it crashes.
If I run "php login.php" in /phpgroupware, then php crash alone ONLY if
MySQL is started!
If I shutdown MySQL, then I receive:
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.1
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
Content-type: text/html

It's not a very useful page, but it's here at least.

It's not my code, it's phpgw 0.9.14
A simple page with phpinfo() works well.

I'd like, but I can't get php to create a log file nor output to EventLog.
Any idea? I have put the following in the php.ini file:

error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
log_errors = On
error_log = c:\php\php.log
error_log = syslog
extension_dir = c:\php\extensions (Is it right?)

Right?

Thanks

to a Linux box here... So I MUSt use win2k :-(
