[maplab-users] Maplab frustration!

[Matt Doggett]

Yes. Actually, I'm trying that right now. However, I can't get php4.2.3
to run correctly...I'm getting
 
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=21) state=1 in
/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/php

Funny thing is that the php executable runs fine from the command-line,
only get this error when apache calls it from cgi. This is a php issue
that I can't find any solution from the php boards. Not sure where to go
from here...rm *.* I think will make it all go away :).
