Updated Fedora 11 server on PPC and now site is down completely!

Hi,

I have Apache running on F11 on an Apple PowerMac G4. I can't remember
what got updated as there were many packages but I think PHP5 was
included in them.

Now when I try to access my site I get this error:

[Sun Jan 10 21:50:00 2010] [error] [client 192.168.1.110] PHP Parse
error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in
/home/optiplex-networks/links.php on line 17, referer:
http://www.optiplex-networks.com/home.php

In my virtual hosts log!

I do run this setup through a Squid reverse proxy so I'm not sure where
the error lies.....

Can anyone help me?

Many thanks!

Regards,

Kaya

The error is exactly where the log tells you, line
17 in /home/optiplex-networks/links.php

Most likely you were previously using php4.0 and now
moved above 5 which is far more strict about syntax.

Thanks for the lightning fast response!

I checked the syntax and all seems fine.....??

This is the current layout of the page:


// Set the page title and include the HTML header.
$page_title = 'Optiplex Networks';
include ('./header.inc');
?>


echo'

height="300" alt="tower" />

height="300" alt="desktop" />

Ok what was weird is that I tried several things:


";


';'


Basically nothing worked! So I reverted back to my original:


';


And I managed to see my site again, even though the middle menu bar is a
bit messed up...... and since that's plain old html and not php it is odd!!

However even more frustrating is that if one clicks the links button:

http://www.optiplex-networks.com/links.php

What worked 2 minutes ago now doesn't even show up and there don't seem
to be any errors reported in Apache log either :-(

I checked the permissions and all seem fine, I even checked the syntax
with a backup copy and again all is fine??

I wish I hadn't done that upgrade now :-/

While it's off-topic here, try enabling error reporting in PHP.

Thanks for the advice!

I guess PHP is off-topic as I thought initially it was something wrong
with Apache or Squid.....

:-)

Thanks for all the help to everyone!
