[users@httpd] blank pages
I am setting up a new server. My pages come up blank.
I checked the httpd error log and found this error:
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: DOCUMENT_ROOT in /var/www/html/studentjobs/index.php on line 6, referer:
Phpinfo on the old (working) server and the new server both report:
DOCUMENT_ROOT /var/www/html
Does DOCUMENT_ROOT need to be defined someplace else?
Thanks
Marc

php.net is your friend
Just type "http://php.net/" followed by something like a function name
or env var.
http://php.net/error_reporting
Turn on error_reporting in php.ini and your page will not be blank.
You might be using an old script with php5 or newer that use global
variables.
I think you want $_SERVER[ "DOCUMENT_ROOT" ].
Insert a line in front of line 6 something like and look for
DOCUMENT_ROOT which you won't find:
die( "<pre>" . print_r( get_defined_vars( ) , true ) . "</pre>" ) ;

Hi,
Use this script to find out where php is getting these values. Open a
new file and call it php.ini and then put the following contents:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
then put this information in your DOCUMENT_ROOT and then call this
script from your browser and it will show you all of your information
php on your system.
My apache webserver wasn't getting changes I made to /etc/php.ini so
I need to find out why and found apache was using another php.ini in
another location. I made changes there and it apache recognizes these
changes.
I hope this helps,
Frank

This particular error is more of a PHP error than apache. What do lines
1-6 read in your file? I'm guessing you are trying to read from a
variable called $DOCUMENT_ROOT (which is not set). If you are trying to
read from the server set value, you should use
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. If the file works on the other server, then
it probably means you have register_globals set to "on", which is a very
bad idea.
