Web application deployment problem on Solaris

"it doesnt work" is not really useful information. Sort of like saying, "my car won't move."  Without a little more we can't tell whether that is because the motor is turned off, or a tree fell on it, or it is up on blocks.

Try to give us some details about the symptoms and tell us what you have tried to fix the issues.  Thanks, ~Ray

hi Ray
its good to hear from you after a while well i am trying to deploy web application on solaris platform it uses web stack bundle from sun when i run the site i simply see the following php code (see code snippet)  i remember you helped me once to debug the application once so i am hoping to hear your thoughts on this issue.
i have tested the platform the php and database is configured but the web application which i want to deploy is not working at all

", "'", '"'), "", $referer); $referer = preg_replace('|https?://[^/]+|i', '', $referer ); return $referer; } return false; } /* this function checks if the current user is logged in. */ function reset_password($email_address = ''){ global $conn_id; if( empty($conn_id) ) { $conn_id = db_connect(); } if(empty($email_address) || $email_address == '') return 0; $new_pass = generate_unique_id(); $activation_key = generate_activation_key(); $new_md5 = md5($new_pass); $sql = "UPDATE pm_users SET new_password = '".$new_md5."', activation_key = '".$activation_key."'

hi ray
i have deployed the application on linux based platform where it is functioning perfectly fine no problem there where i am testing it but for the final deployment phase i want to deploy on solaris the web application doesnt work at all .

thanks buddy for your help you always make me think hard lol and its a very good tactics apparently the reason of php errors was the server wasnt configured with short php tags and few directory write permission issues but now it seems ok i have another problem now everything else works fine except one poll if you dont mind i will send you a link for this new question.
thank you

Thanks for the points - that "short tags" thing is like "register_globals" and "magic quotes" - from one installation to another, you can find a lot of ways these features will make a script fail.  Better to avoid them all the time!
