PHP on new server

[musa]

Hello.

I'm completely baffled at the moment. Here's the scenario:

I've designed, developed and administered my company's Intranet website, employing HTML & PHP as the main browser technologies. We've recently moved the Intranet from a Windows NT server to a Windows 2K server, with all necessary software going with it (i.e. Apache, PHP, MySQL). Also, the old server has been renamed and the new server given the old server's name.

All seemed to be working okay until I tried a webpage which uses software I'd written in PHP - this does not work on the new server, the old server is fine though. Only one other webpage that uses PHP is not functioning, otherwise all other PHP webpages are functioning as they should on the new server.

In more detail, the page that does not work uses forms to send and receive data from a mainframe - the new Intranet does not error but polls the page and eventually times out (I guess). I'm wondering if I've missed anything out on the new server? I don't think it's the respective code - they are identical on both servers. I've checked php.ini and Apache's http.conf but nothing's seems to be wrong.

The Apache versions are 2.0.45 and 2.0.54 resp. on the old and new servers. Both servers have PHP 4.3.9 version.

Can anyone suggest anything else I can check? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It is hard to say why it would do that; it seems like there is a function or something being called. My suggestion is to comment sections of the script until you narrow the script down to what is wrong.

Hi, thanks for replying. I've been going thro' the code and config files to see what's amiss - still no joy. By the way, the code (a rsh call) works if I run it in DOS - weird. :huh:
