Re: [Phpgroupware-users] New install -- Can't login

[C K Wu]

Hello, Barry,

I have the same problem when attempting to install phpGroupWare-0.9.14
on a RedHat 8.0 machine.  I am able to trace the culprit down to line
159 of
[phpgw-dir]/login.php.  The line reads,

if (getenv(REQUEST_METHOD) != 'POST' && !isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) &&
!isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SSL_CLIENT_S_DN']))

Apparently, the problem was caused by getenv(REQUEST_METHOD).  This
had been reported as PHP bug: #17662
(http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=17662).

I managed to work around the problem by changing,

getenv(REQUEST_METHOD)    =>    $_SERVER[REQUEST_METHOD]

After the change, everything went back to normal.  However, I had
only tested general operations of (phpgwapi + ck-ledger).  There
may yet be other phpgw modules, which are affected by the getenv()
problem.  Btw, register_globals is set to off by default, and my
config is,

RedHat8.0, php4.2.2, Apache(httpd-2.0.40)

The other problem of the hole in your wall.  Too bad, unsolvable.

Cheers,
CK
