Fátima Chapri	Thursday 11 January 2007 12:01:52 pm When trying to instal Exponential 3.9, i searched for a boundle with the versions of php, My Sql, and Apache that was compatible with Exponential, because i can't integrate this all together. Finally, I found the <b>phpdev</b> with the following: * apache 1.3.27 * php4.2.3 * MySQL4 * phpmyadmin 2.3.2 * Invision Board * PhpWebsite Than, i copied the Exponential 3.9 package on to a folder (named www) inside the phpdev folder. After activating the Apache server, i tried to acces the Exponential site that i created in my local network, by the folowing adress: http://localhost/ez, and I got the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in c:\phpdev\www\ez\lib\eztemplate\classes\eztemplatefileresource.php on line 236 Fatal error: Exponential did not finish its request The execution of Exponential was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below. Do anyone know what did happen, and how can I fix this?
Matthew Carroll	Thursday 11 January 2007 9:34:33 pm file_get_contents() is only available in php >= 4.3.0, which is why you see this error. http://www.php.net/file_get_contents Moreover, Exponential actually requires php 4.4, with the latest (4.4.4) being recommended. See the requirements section in the installation instructions: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/installation/normal_installation/requirements_for_doing_a_normal_installation You need to upgrade, or find a different host.

When trying to instal Exponential 3.9, i searched for a boundle with the versions of php, My Sql, and Apache that was compatible with Exponential, because i can't integrate this all together. Finally, I found the <b>phpdev</b> with the following:
* apache 1.3.27
* php4.2.3
* MySQL4
* phpmyadmin 2.3.2
* Invision Board
* PhpWebsite

Than, i copied the Exponential 3.9 package on to a folder (named www) inside the phpdev folder.

After activating the Apache server, i tried to acces the Exponential site that i created in my local network, by the folowing adress: http://localhost/ez, and I got the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in c:\phpdev\www\ez\lib\eztemplate\classes\eztemplatefileresource.php on line 236
Fatal error: Exponential did not finish its request

The execution of Exponential was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.

Do anyone know what did happen, and how can I fix this?

file_get_contents() is only available in php >= 4.3.0, which is why you see this error.

Moreover, Exponential actually requires php 4.4, with the latest (4.4.4) being recommended. See the requirements section in the installation instructions:

You need to upgrade, or find a different host.
