Re: {bb} BBmap purple on submaps

[Brégier Frédéric <frederic.bregier@noos.fr>]

Since you can acces the link using your user and password,
and you can access the link without it, both from your PC,
the three next idea that I have are the following :

1) check if from the web-server itself, if you can really
access to the web page. For instance, you can have
a dns problem (not defined) in your web server
(bb.test.org). To do that, log in with the "bb4" system account,
launch if you can netscape or mozilla and go through
the web address again. You can also try a ping from
the server to itself (using the base web address).
Both as the bb4 user so that you really can check
if it resolves correctly the web address.
If not, then you've got it : fix the dns setting on your bb4 server
or something related.

2) Possibly a bug in PHP 4.1 (as you use php-4.1.2-2.1.8).
Try to upgrade a more recent version (for instance for
RH AS3, the current version is 4.3.2-14 as in
ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/3AS/en/os/SRPMS/php-4.3.2-14.ent.src.rpm)
I look at RH AS2.1, it seems it is no more updated (as usual with RH when
a new release goes out, all previous versions are out of updating process).
You can perhaps go from source tarball.

I found somewhere that PHP accept SSL (HTTPS) from 4.3.0
and of course if compiled with openssl support.

3) Do you have openssl installed on your RedHat server,
and is PHP compiled with this support ?
You can take a look on a phpinfo.php (generally
given with a standard distribution of PHP)
which shows the status of PHP and its compiled module.

So, to resume, first check if from the server itself
you can correctly resolve the https://adress,
second check the PHP configuration itself,
first on the ssl part, second considering upgrading
PHP.

I hope this can bring you to the keys !
Frederic
