PacsOne Server

Posted: **Fri Feb 27, 2015 11:41 pm**

I have a clean install/updated of Server 2008 R2 x64 (VMware VM for testing)
WAMP Server x64 (Apache : 2.4.9 MySQL : 5.6.17 PHP : 5.5.12 PHPMyAdmin : 4.1.14 SqlBuddy : 1.3.3 XDebug : 2.2.5)
PacsOne Premium 6.4.4 x64
dotNET 4.5.2
VC++ Redist 2005, 2008, 2012

I correctly get the anti-spam image and am able to log in as root, however after logging in, the following appears at the top of the pages:

Code: Select all

( ! ) Warning: mdecrypt_generic(): An empty string was passed in C:\Program Files\PacsOne\php\database.php on line 1981 
Call Stack 
# Time Memory Function Location

4 0.0000 1381928 mdecrypt_generic ( ) ..\database.php:1981

For kicks and giggles, I've tried with IE 8 and IE 11, no difference.

Does the password happen to be blank/empty for this particular username you were trying to login with?

Yes, since it's a lab setup for testing, left it with the default blank root password (not exposed to internet yet)

I'm guessing I just need to set a password then to resolve?

I added an additional test user and set a password, error isn't present on that user. So looks like it was just a blank password issue. Thanks!

If you must use a blank password (not recommended), you'd need to disable the display of PHP Warning messages by modifying the following line in your PHP.INI configuration file:

Code: Select all

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT & ~E_WARNING

Remember to restart Apache/IIS after saving the file for the change to take effect.
