Hi there,
i have read the article http://ez.no/content/view/full/26360 but am afraid the new version, ezp3.2, couldn't be run with php4.1.2? I am not using the actual version of php, because it's not marked as stable under Debian (woody). Also I'm not sure if i should install a backport of php, before that i want to know, if ezp isn't being able to be run under 4.1.2 surely?
I can start the setup wizard without complications, but when i come to the point that i want to log in in the admin interface, i don't pass the login screen. It comes back every time again.
I have heard about a session problem using ezp3.2 with php < 4.3.2, but i don't know if it's the same problem. The debug didn't gave me a point where i should start.
Would be great, if someone can help me here. Perhaps i don't have to install the php4.3.3 on the woody dist.
thx a lot, Thomas Schamm

Hi Thomas,

You can run eZ 3.1 on 4.1.2 of PHP, with session problems but if its a simple site you might be ok.

I would go for the upgrade if you can though. 4.3.3 is so much better.
Take a look here for compilation information http://ez.no/content/view/full/24259

Hi Tony,

thank you for your quick help. I think i will then try to install a backpack of php on the webserver, though a friend of mine told me i should do this as the last step.

Greetz, Thomas

Hi Thomas

I've developed and run a number of sites using version 3.0 & 3.1 on php4.1.2. There are session issues as Tony mentioned but these seem to be resolved by turning register_globals on.

I have converted one of the sites to 3.2 (for testing purposes) and it works as expected under 4.1.2

Cheers
Bruce

Ok, perhaps i should have tried to turn register_globals on. I tried it with php4.1.2 several times, so i searched for a backpack now and installed php4.3.3 on debian 3. It works so far.
Thanks again, Thomas

Thomas, which backports of php4.3 are you using ?
Did you backport them yourself or use a non-official repository ?
