[maplab-users] Re: MapLab setup question

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Peter,

The error that you mentioned is actually a php run-time notice, and (as 
we mention in the install doc, see the "Setting up PHP" section) can be 
avoided by setting error reporting to not show notices.  In the php.ini 
file, search for 'error_reporting' and specify the following:

error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

This also applies to your GMapFactory notices that you mentioned in your 
other email as well.

As for your problem of only being able to view php pages in 
Apache/htdocs, I have never seen that problem, and am not sure why that 
is happening.  Maybe some other MapLab user has had that problem.

Hope this helps.

Jeff
