[FX.php List] Drop-down stopped working

[VanBuskirk, Patricia]

I sent this email to Webko offlist, but I'll throw it out for your input as well...

I am hoping this is not because we now have the web service running on the FM server?  This is all temporary, as they are moving all this to PeopleSoft in the near future, so to get these off of the failing blade they are currently on, we decided to just put them on one server.  I know it's not ideal, but we don't have any private or privileged info in these databases.

I tried to reply about the php ... it appears to be running.  I tried to send the info on the page, but it is awaiting moderation.  I have asked our techie guy if he knows the answers to your questions, Chris.  I am not exactly sure.  It does not even physically sit in my location.

Trish,

I opened the resulting file from the URL that Webko posted using BBEdit and there's definitely something odd going on.  Though generally not human-readable, at the top is the phrase "This program cannot be run in DOS mode", so this is apparently a Windows executable, and not merely an arbitrary extension.  Something to do with how the server is configured to handle XML perhaps?  Is this a fresh server (fresh OS install, etc.) or merely a repurposed box?
