    After installing CA (fresh, clean install on it's own virtual host and there were no errors while installing) I get the following error:

    Notice: Use of undefined constant E_DEPRECATED - assumed 'E_DEPRECATED' in /.../subdomains/collectiveaccess/httpsdocs/setup.php on line 134

    The line of code is this:

    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);

    And I can change it to this:

    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

    and I am able to log in. I've grepped for the string and it only appears in setup.php.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    What version of PHP are you running?

    # php -v
    PHP 5.1.6 (cli) (built: Mar 31 2010 02:39:17)
    Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
    Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies

    Crud. I need to update, don't I? Gives me more reason to totally rebuild my server. Seems that my virtual server hosting provider isn't giving me the latest and greatest.

    Thanks, Seth!

    E_DEPRECATED is something introduced in PHP 5.3. We use it to suppress annoying "deprecated" messages when running under 5.3. Of course, it throws notices when running < 5.3, so we really can't win :-(

    We officially only run under PHP > 5.2.3, but in reality 5.1.6 will work ok too. They still ship 5.1.6 with RedHat/CentOS which is why people are still using it.

    If you can upgrade you should. 5.3 is shinier/nicer/faster. But if you can't just turn off notices.

    Turns out I needed to make a variety of updates on my server.

    I was able to get up to 5.2.13 through my hosting provider. I attempted to get an RPM of 5.3.x and it caused some ugly warnings/errors from some lib files. So I backed out. I think for the foreseeable future I'll stick with 5.2.13, keep and eye on the error log, and when I get a chance to look into it further I will.

    Thanks!

    How about changing the code to:

    if (defined('E_DEPRECATED')) {
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);
}
else {
  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
}

    Did a quick test on my PHP 5.2 installation, and that solved the error.

    Why didn't I think of that? :-)
