That did it RequestedDeletion. I don't understand as when I tried to upgrade to version 2.0, the upgrade would fail. 2.0 shows that it only needs PHP 4.1.0.
By installing PHP Software Collections and activating version 5.4 for the http server (as apposed to an ibay as the forum is installed in /opt) the large upgrade to 2.0.14 installed flawlessly.
Can anyone tell me if activating PHP version 5.4 for the http server on a live machine will cause any of the base functions of SME9.2 to break? Does it introduce a security risk?
I would like to update the SMF page on the Contribs list detailing the steps needed to upgrade SMF to current but do not wish to break someones server or create a security risk.
I wish I had the coding skills to update that contrib to install a current version of SMF. That contrib is still from SME 7.0.....
well consider that even the developers are not sure of what they say/want :
- according to HF posted page :
Versions of SMF below 2.0.7 will not work on PHP 5.5. If you use PHP 5.5 it is necessary to use SMF 2.0.7 or greater.
Versions of SMF from 2.0.14 onwards require PHP 5.4 or higher. If you use PHP 5.3 or lower is necessary to use SMF 2.0.13 or lower.
- according to the upgrade.php script:
// Version of index.php
define('SMF_VERSION', '2.0.14');
// Version of index.[language].php
define('SMF_LANG_VERSION', '2.0.14');
$GLOBALS['required_php_version'] = '5.3.0';
$GLOBALS['required_mysqli_version'] = '4.0.18';
