Upon accessing the index.php in my EZPublish 4 directory:

"Unsupported PHP version 5.0.4
eZ Publish 4.x does not run with PHP 4."

Great. So you don't run on PHP 4. Wonderful. Now explain to me why EZ thinks that
(PHP 5.0.4 == PHP 4)

Well, the error message could surely be improved. But the problem is, that your PHP version does not meet the installation requirement.

Please compare
http://ez.no/ezpublish/requirements

There it states, that you need at least PHP 5.1, while PHP 5.2 is recommended.

Best regards, Thomas Koch

I had the same error message an I had just installed WAMPServer 2.0c which has PHP V 5.2.6 according to the PHP console and this url: http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php

what have I done wrong?

ps: I DID install the database first.

You downloaded 3.10 or 3.9 that is for PHP 4 and only glanced at the error message before you concluded that you had the same issue as Albert??

No sir. I downloaded ez V 4 and checked that it wanted version 5 of PHP thus I got the correct version of WAMP for it.

Please dont be patronising!

Sorry, I took a guess and it was one of the possibilities :)
I'm running ezp 4.0 with wamp 2.0b here with no problems, but I'll download PHP 5.2.6 and try it out.

possibly its yr avatar that contributes to the tone!!! lol

I used the latest WAMP and when one checks the console for the version number it gives 5.2.6

I also tried downloading and installing ezPublish 3.9 but this also failed with the message that it couldnt run with version 5 of PHP.

so ez V 4 thinks its version 4 PHP and
ez V 3.9 thinks its version 5 of php

Something very wrong here!!!

Im using firefox to run the index.php file in ez for the setup

This is the message I get:
Unsupported PHP version " . phpversion() . "
" ); print( "

eZ Publish 4.x does not run with PHP 4.
". "

Console and httpd/web is two different "exe's" in php, so what version info you get in console is not necessary the same as in the webserver. ( And the other way around )
You can see the versioninfo on the index page for wampserver (usually http://localhost/ )

This is the message I get:
Unsupported PHP version " . phpversion() . "
" ); print( "

eZ Publish 4.x does not run with PHP 4.
". "

Looks like php isn't running at all.
Double check by clicking view source in you browser, if you find php code ther, then php is not running (aka your web server serves the php files as any other text file instead of handling the file over to php).

Probably, Evil Monkey from "Family guy" is probably a bit cruel.. :)
