Old PHP version

[neilgravir]

It would appear that the new server is running php 4.4.4. Could someone please upgrade it to version 5 or above?

Cheers,

It should be 5.16. Are you sure it is 4.44? Create a blank file with this in it and it will tell you the version of PHP

<?php
echo phpversion();
?>

 

[neilgravir]

It tells me it's 4.4.4 still. The same with cPanel. I am reinstalling my wiki at version 1.82, and it needs at least php 5 to run.

And while we're at it, the graphics stuff in php appears to not be installed - Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatefrompng() in /home/lw90210/public_html/ubar.php on line 11

Dunno what the library's called, I just know it used to be there and now it isn't. Was gunna email support yesterday when I noticed it but I wasn't sure if they already knew and were planning on fixing it.


It's not an urgent thing, but it's definitely an annoyance :S

(posted this here instead of in another topic because this does relate to php, and could be fixed at the same time as upgrading to a later version of php)

Yeah phpinfo(); has been disabled too, bt thats security reasons!

That one I can see, I just don't get why features that were working on the last x10 server are suddenly missing - think the image library is called the GD library or something like that.

I can live without it, I just dun wanna >_<

By the end of the night, (I cannot right now), either I'll ask Corey to recompile Apache with the latest versions of PHP and the GD library, or I'll do it myself.

 

[Zenax]

Sweet, thanks Bryon!

 

[neilgravir]

Thank you very much, Byron! Much appreciated.

w00t! I wonder how you would compile PHP as a module instead of the cgi version lol. I wanted to use basic web authentication, but i couldn't cause the good people here at x10 have PHP as the cgi version instead of a module ^_^

Thanks, I was going to post a thread asking why GD wasn't installed. Just out of curiosity, why can't we view phpinfo? Is it really that big of a "security risk"?

PHP is compiled almost the same way both ways, but they way it appears in httpd.conf is different.

CGI is used at x10 because 1. cPanel configures it that way, 2. x10 can set it up to run php scripts are your username, and track the usage of those scripts, were as module that wouldnt happen(so if a spamming script say was run, Corey, Bryon, or Richard can look up who was running the script and take the appropriate action .)

O. Ok then. I understand now.

P.S. What is the point of telling whether SSH is up if no free acc has shell access?

Sorry I double posted, IT WOULDN'T LET ME EDIT

This is my beleif on this btw, Corey or Bryon or Richard would have to verify it.

Its pretty much for secury though

SSH is still used by Corey, Bryon, and Richard, so they can look in that thread to see if its up.

 

[nol888]

O. Everything's clear now. Except for one thing... The forums won't let me edit. It doesn't save anything and the edit window buttons don't do anything except for "Cancel"

That must have something to do with the upgrade they did. Does not work for me either in FF and IE.

 

[Corey]

I'll recompile PHP now; You'll see some issues with the forum until we finish our upgrades.
