Need Advice on Php Version

[CJPinder]

Currently the settings in my http.conf are

ServerSignature Off
ServerTokens ProductOnly

So you are saying change the second line to:

ServerTokens Prod ?

No, ServerTokens ProductOnly is fine (ProductOnly and Prod are the same). Check that you have the correct httpd.conf file though,
there may be more than one.

Regards,
Christian.

Yes I have the correct files, but I changed it anyway based on a post I read on Apache Security. and changed the ini file. I'm re-running the scan now. I finally got all the errors out of the front end, but the admin is a disaster and will take hours to clean up.

I know I've been advised here turning error reporting off does the trick, but I had white screens, until I edited a slew of files.

The admin doesn't hide the errors...it won't let me even enter the admin itself until I fix them all. Thank gosh I didn't touch production site until I verified this all in my test enviornment - I would be in a total panic. As it is, when I've got the test version error free, then I'll take the site down, recompile and build in the new changes.

I'm running the scan again with your suggestions, but up till now the bot seems to be able to get to see everything.

I had to completely pull out and rebuild the blog I had integrated in order to upgrade that to the latest release, which wasn't fun, but got it done and then recompiled to 5.2.12, as I was originally told that would satisfy them, then they sent me another failed report saying nope...gotta to to 5.3.2 -

I think I want a new job...LOL

I d/l the patch you referred me to and I'm currently running tests as I did before to be sure I don't have the site down with errors.

Based on the test, the moment I attempt to put something in the cart I go to a white screen.

I'm getting the following error using error reporting -
PHP Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in ...\includes\classes\db\mysql\query_factory.php on line 139.

I attempted modifying the file and made things worse, so I returned it back to the original. Can you help me out here?

I'm told that all Merchant Providers have received notification from Visa and Mastercard of these new tougher requirements... so there will be lots of folks forced to the latest release of PHP

Based on the test, the moment I attempt to put something in the cart I go to a white screen.

Then you have a PHP error happening.

I'm getting the following error using error reporting -
PHP Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in ...\includes\classes\db\mysql\query_factory.php on line 139.

Then you've not actually applied the PHP 5.3 patch update correctly.

I attempted modifying the file and made things worse, so I returned it back to the original. Can you help me out here?

There's no need to go and modify all the ereg() calls in the code. The patch takes care of suppressing the warnings, because that's all they are: warnings.

I'm told that all Merchant Providers have received notification from Visa and Mastercard of these new tougher requirements... so there will be lots of folks forced to the latest release of PHP

That's why the patch was released. And, of course, the next version of Zen Cart will be PHP 5.3 compatible.
