PHP does not work

[tcatrainer]

Yes, Ive done all the things you are supposed to.

I created a file in note tab lite
saved it as ASCII
uploaded it to the server
using dreamweaver 4
in the site ftp log
"site chmod 755 /htdocs/testing/"
AND
"site chmod 755 /htdocs/testing/phptesttwo.php"

Here is the file (also attached)

+++++++++++++++++begin code ++++++++++++++++++++

#!/usr/local/bin/php

<?
echo "powweb php support sucks!";

?>

+++++++++++++++++++++ end code +++++++++++++++++

I get a 500 server error

here is the error log:

Any help?

I am so close to going to www.ipowerweb.com
they have 7.95 a month hosting with MySQL and SSL included shoping cart etc
looks like a better deal to me.

Make sure that Dreamweaver's FTP is set to upload in ASCII mode. Saving the file in ASCII isn't the same thing.

Hope this helps!

Here's a sample page using your coding <changed the output text>

Thanks,

I had thought there might be a problem with dreamweaver in how it uploaded.

here is dreamwevers answer on verifing this is set properly:

"You can also define whether the types of files that you want to transfer should be transferred as ASCII (text) or binary. To do so, open the FTPExtensionMap.txt file in the Configuration folder (on the Mac, FTPExtensionMapMac.txt). You can modify and delete the list of which file types are transferred in each format, as well as add your own file types. If a file's extension is not defined in this file, Dreamweaver automatically transfers the file in binary mode. "

/ProgramFiles/Dreamweaver4/Configuration/FTPExtensionMap.txt

I edited this file in notepad
PHP was not listed so I added it as

PHP ASCII

The FTP log did not seem to change from uploading in BINARY right away even after I closed dreamweaver

I did a shut down and restart

it now seems to upload in ASCII

here is the site FTP log:

Ok, now that the files appear to be uploading in ASCII, did you redo the CHMOD to 755? If so and it didn't work, try deleting the PHP files from the server, reuploading them in ASCII mode and CHMOD them to 755.

[tcatrainer]

Thanks for your advice

yes i had changed the chmod

"site chmod 755 /htdocs/testing/
200 CHMOD command successful.
site chmod 755 /htdocs/testing/phptest4.php
200 CHMOD command successful.
"

I tried deleting it and reuploading it

and then changed the chmod

still 500 error

[xero-infinity]

inside your PHP file is #!/usr/local/bin/php at the top? most the time that is needed

[tcatrainer]

yes ive tried everything i can think of (and the responses i ve gotten).

I have php and mysql working fine on my other site which is on saturn.powweb.com

but nothing works on pulsar.powweb.com

Is it possible that the server isnt configured correctly for PHP?

Tech support is just giving me canned answers now.

ive been trying to rectify this problem for weeks.
I ve had my first website with powweb for almost 2 years now

www.ipowerweb.com (http://www.qksrv.net/click-589249-1200208" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.ipowerweb.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;) offers a better deal

7.95 incluses SSL PHP mysql

+++++++++++++++++++ code +++++++++++++++++

#!/usr/local/bin/php

<?

echo "this does not work";

?>

[tcatrainer]

i tried ws ftp also
deleted file on server

uploaded in ascii

chmodded to 777

still 500 error

[xero-infinity]

Well, my php files have to be chmod'd to 755 or it won't work.

[tcatrainer]

i changed it to (777 less secure ) because WS_ftp did not offer a 755

I am just so frustrated
ive tried everything i can think of
and all you who have responded can think of

any suggestions?

[xero-infinity]

What do you mean? [QUOTE]Originally posted by tcatrainer

On my WS_FTP LE it does. You can't type it in. You have to set it with the check boxes or whatever.
