Idea Installation issues when server runs php4 AND php5

Hiya,

I have a VPS which runs php 4 and php 5. When installing Kunena I get a "failed" message because php 4 is insufficient.

I simply copied my kunena tables over via phpmyadin and it all works fine so there really is no issue - but the detection of php4/5 could prevent some people from installing when they should be able to - the tables are not created in the DB if the user is running php4 and 5 on their server because the installtion stalls when php4 is found.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

BUMP!

Some of my users are reporting issues such as not being able to post in the forum at:
joomlabear.com/Forum/

As per my first post on this issue - I installed the new Kunena 1.0.9 but received an error message that the installation failed due to PHP 4 and mySQL 4 - However my VPS is configured to run both 4 and 5 - I am actually running the very latest php and mySQL.

I had thought that everything must have installed correctly because the forum has been functioning in spite of that error message and I know my server specs are adequate.

But I just noticed something else slightly strange - in components > kunena I see version 1.0.7b at bottom - image attached - and when I go to Extensions > Install/Uninstall > Components I see version 1.0.9

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the error message I received for php/mySQL would inhibit any files being unpacked? I can't see why as the forum has functioned very well excepting a few users having issues recently.

But then I'm seeing different version numbers in different places as described.

Any suggestions appreciated.

And this is the other image - would the ability to attach multiple images to one post be a good future enhancement perhaps?

As you can see I have 2 different version numbers showing.

Small update - the most recent user who reported issues with my forum has just got back to me and said they now think the issue is with the particular comuter they are using and not the site - perhaps cookies, etc - not sure.

Anyway seems kunena is running fine - but i do have different version numbers in backend.

Is there an issue? should i manually patch via FTP?

I think, you have to make an entry in your .htaccess like this:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php


So your server handels all *.php-files with PHP5

Thx for that - I'll give that a go - I think we have it set up like this so that applications which require php4 will also function.

But I can add that to the .htaccess for just this one domain, or even just temporarily while I install Kunena - good suggestion I'll let you know how I get on.
