[Phpgroupware-developers] Re: [CK-Ledger-users] Test Run CK-Ledger with RH9.0 and MK9.1

Hi, lists,

Thought this may interest you.

Hi, folks,

I have made a small progress.

Mandrake9.1 (Apache2.0.44, Mysql4.0, php4.2.2):
I have further installed php-xml-4.3.0-2mdk.i586.rpm from CD2.
Now, everything returns to normal.  However, I am not sure if
Mysql4.0 may carry some compatibility issues that have yet to
be discovered.

Mandrake9.1 (Apache2.0.44, Postgresql7.3.2, php4.2.2):
After installation of the php-xml rpm, things improve quite a
bit.  Login and going into ledadmin is now OK.  Deletion
of previous tables is OK.  However, creation of new postgresql
table (Admin/Setup -> Setup Data Tables) results in,

Fatal Error:  It appears that you have not created the database tables for phpGroupWare.  Click here to run setup.

The same old Postgresql 7.3+ problem.  However, with this
Mandrake scenario, apparently, I can get thru phpgwapi correctly
and only some CK-Ledger scripts are malfunctioning due the
7.3+ problem.  At the same time, clicking the other CK-Ledger
icons displayed the index (index.php) page correctly, while clicking
other phpgw icons may or may not result in the same Fatal Error message.

I'll try to update the CK-Ledger codebase to work with Postgresql 7.3+
prior to the next release.

Cheers,
CK

Hi, folks,

I have test run phpGroupWare 0.9.14.002 + CK-Ledger 0.6.3 with
RedHat 9.0 and Mandrake 9.1.  The result is not too encouraging.

RedHat9.0 (Apache2.0.40, Mysql3.23.54a, php4.2.2) - Everything went OK.

RedHat9.0 (Apache2.0.40, Postgresql7.3.2, php4.2.2):
Installation of phpgroupware and ck-ledger is complete.  However, when
clicking the ledadmin icon for the first time, the following error message appears,

REG_EMPTY in /var/www/html/phpgw/phpgwapi/inc/functions.inc.php on line 637
Fatal Error:  It appears that you have not created the database tables for phpGroupWare.  Click here to run setup.

Apparently, this is due to Postgresql being upgraded to 7.3+.  Ralf Becker of
the phpgroupware team made this remark when commenting on a reported and similar incidence,

<remark>
postgreSql 7.3.x is currently not supported by phpGroupWare, see
http://www.phpgroupware.org/wiki/KnownIssues+0.9.14

This happens because pgSql droped in 7.3 a lot of automatic conversation
they done before and mysql still does. We will solve that problem with
the upcomming .16 release, sheduled for may/june.
</remark>

This means the case would only be rectified after phpgw0.9.16 and at the same time,
CK-Ledger's own code base would have to be updated to adjust to Postgresql7.3+
requirements.

Mandrake9.1 (Apache2.0.44, Mysql4.0, php4.2.2):
Installation OK.  First login attempt failed, problem being default safe mode = on.
It is a known problem that phpgroupware does not work with safte mode = on.
Then, I install php-ini-4.3.0-1mdk.noarch.rpm from CD1.  The installed php.ini
set safe mode = off and registered global = on.  This time, login screen carries
the following message,

Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/xml.so' -
/usr/lib/php/extensions/xml.so:  cannot open shared object file:  No such file or directory
in /var/www/html/ckledger/phpgwapi/inc/xml_functions.inc.php on line 32.

Mandrake9.1 (Apache2.0.44, Postgresql7.3.2, php4.2.2):
The same result as with the Mysql case.  Presumably, there is also the Postgresql7.3+
problem lurking in the background.

Bottom line:  Only RedHat9.0 (Apache2.0.40, Mysql3.23.54a, php4.2.2) works
at the moment.
