We just upgraded a server's kernel from 2.4.18-3 to 2.4.18-grsec-1.9.4... now phpSysInfo won't work properly. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is there another similar script out there that will work?

I've got a server using 2.4.18-grsec-1.9.4 kernel and phpSysInfo is working fine, it's version 2.0. Changing the kernel should not affect phpSysInfo, as it the scripts just display the information found on the server.

That's what I thought too... but upgrading kernels is the only change that was made. Weird.

What do you mean by "won't work properly", what are you seeing? or what errors are you getting? If you want, PM me the URL so I can see.

Everything under the "Hardware Information" menu, except for SCSI devices, is showing up as "N.A."

Other than that, it's working normally.

Hmmm... make sure that safe mode in PHP is off as the scripts don't work when it's one. To do that, have a look in the php.ini file usually located in /etc and make sure safe_mode = off . If it's off there, check using "phpinfo();" in a PHP script to confirm its off globally.

If it's on, then go to the httpd.conf file and there search for safe_mode in there, to see if it's been added as a global admin value.

There's nothing wrong with the scripts or server, it's just your settings need fine tuning :).

We've found that with grsecurity compiled into the kernel. Haven't really looked into a fix yet, but I will now that I know its possible for both grsecurity and sysinfo to work properly.
