[Isis-users] ABCD and PHP5.3

[spinaker]

We have installed ABCD under

    - default package as distributed by Bireme in XP, Windows 7  32&64 bits
    - xampp
    - wamp
    - AppServ
    - IIS 6
    - Ubuntu 10   32&64 bits

without any problem
As a recommendation we suggest to create a virtual hosts
declare them in the file httpd.conf    near the bottom of the file
*# Various default settings
   Include "conf/extra/httpd-vhosts-abcd.conf*
also declare the port in this file

and then createn in the directory *extra *below a corresponding file   
httpd-vhosts-abcd.conf
a virtual host declaration, something like

*<VirtualHost *:9090>
      ServerAdmin serveradmin at bvs.br
      DocumentRoot "/ABCD/www/htdocs"
<Directory "/ABCD/www/htdocs">
     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
</Directory>
     DirectoryIndex index.htm index.php homepage.htm
     ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/ABCD/www/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/ABCD/www/cgi-bin/">
     AllowOverride None
        Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        Order deny,allow
     Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>*

PHP5.3 is out for quite some time now, comes by definition with any newer Linux installation and is e.g. also part of the newer WAMP-installations in Windows.Therefore we cannot afford sticking with PHP5.2 for long anymore, for sure.

> Mostly I had to work on the following, testing with PHP5.3.5 (but more testing will be necessary) :

> - php.ini settings are crucial and sensitive but can be transferred from the PHP5.2 one
> - only the Site page is still problematic by resulting in empty pages when clicking on 'Search' or 'Filter'. As far as we can see this is due to a different result from the XML-parser in XML2tree.
> This last problem is a major one as the Site is probably the most visible part of ABCD - to the end-users that is.
> Any help or suggestions on how to tackle that problem would be most welcome...
> It would be nice if we could prepare for a version 2.0 which is also PHP5.3 compatible !
