My service provider has just upgraded from PHP 4.something to 5.0.2, and moodle has stopped working. I have even tried a fresh install of moodle, but it still does not work. When I go to any page, I get a 500 error, and in the error log files, I see the following error;
Premature end of script headers: /home/millmore/public_html/test/index.php
Does anyone have any ideas of how to solve this?
Nothing whatsoever from the Moodle install is working - the site is at;
http://legaltraining.millmoreweb.com/
so, the admin directory would be
http://legaltraining.millmoreweb.com/admin
Other php applications are working OK, e.g. Coppermine works fine. I did a completly clean install of moodle, and that did not work either, so I don't think its anything to do with edits I have done to my old version. The new version is at the following URL if that helps
http://www.millmoreweb.com/test
The system uses cPanel, so I don't have access to do everything, but I do believe that the error log is indeed the raw apache error log. Here are a few more lines if it helps;

The only other clue I have is that I get a core dump file every time I get the Premature end of script headers error. I could zip it and upload it if you think it would help
I have also created a file to show the php setup too if that helps. It is at;
http://www.millmoreweb.com/phptest.php
The versions of the web modules are;
Apache version 1.3.32 (Unix)
MySQL version 4.0.20-standard
PHP version 5.0.2
PERL version 5.8.3
Operating system Linux
Kernel version 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl
cPanel version 9.9.8-STABLE-6
I hope this is enough to provide you with some clues, but if not then please let me know what other info I can provide, or what else I can test.
Thanks

I have done a lot of debuging, and found a solution. I am sharing the solution here in case anyone else needs it in future.
I would also appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on why this works - it seems wrong to me, and I still wonder if my service provider has set up their system wrong.
The problem is with adodb. In the file lib/adodb/adodb.inc.php, there are the following lines;
if (PHP_VERSION < 5) include_once(ADODB_DIR.'/adodb-php4.inc.php');
else include_once(ADODB_DIR.'/adodb-iterator.inc.php');
I commented out these 2 lines, and replaced it with just the PHP4 import;
include_once(ADODB_DIR.'/adodb-php4.inc.php');
and it now works fine again.
What I don't understand is why it works on PHP5 with the PHP4 import, but not the PHP5 import. Does this mean that there is some problem inconsistency on the server, or does it just mean that adodb is not really compatible with PHP5? If it's the server one, I would like to be able to beat up my service provider about it
