Sorry for the most elemental of situations but I am new to the web development arena and am interested in building WB-database applications for friends and family. I used to be a programmer back in the early 70's (BAL, COBOL, FORTRAN, RPG, CRTs linked to mainframes, you get the picture) and I got nominated to build a web-based hobby/business. I operate on a home network consisting of a laptop with MS-Office XP Standard and a desktop (my son's) with MS-Office XP Professional, both of which are Version 2002. I am PC literate as it relates to MS Office, Excel, Word and PowerPoint and have never done anything through MS DOS. I have high speed internet through Road Runner. I would like to initially build a web server and applications on my home network for learning/experimenting (no one but me will have access) before I venture out of my box. >From my initial very broad-based reading, it seems I should work with Apache, PHP and MySQL as well learn the basics of HTML and SQL which I have already started. Does anyone have sources you can point me to and/or thoughts on how best to proceed without feeling totally overwhelmed moving forward with my new ambition? Thanks for any empathy and I apologize if there was a better forum for my question, Dave -----Original Message----- From: Lllllll Gabor [mailto:problem2@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 7:43 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [users@httpd] Sometimes getting 'Premature end of script...' Thx for the advices, Owen! I use MySQL, I read and write files in these scripts. User input is not really intresting. It comes at the same values sometimes. I also noticed that this error comes when I use Php-MyAdmin! Different requests make these errors. (Anyway I looked at its code and the header is correct. I am sure there should not be errors like this in the MyAdmin scripts.) So I guess that must be a problem of misconfiguration. Anyway if someone can answear to me the following things it can be useful: 1, Is it possible that MySQL 5.0.0a (alpha!) makes the problem? If so why I get php header error? 2, Can SafeMode solve such problems? If I turn it on makes the scripts more reliable? (Speed is not really needed in my case.) 3, Can u suggest some links about how to make the server more reliable? Programs would be also nice.

There is an occasional problem with your code which is not properly trapped. Do you access a DB?, write to a file? read from a file? do any calculations using user input? Any of these (and others) can cause a failure which depends on user input. To debug: > > - Look in the access log and find the request which corresponds to the error (use the timestamp to cross-reference).
