Hi,
Just wondering what exact versions of PHP and MySQL you are using. This doesn't work outright with the old versions included with CentOS 5.4. On a related note, what distribution do you use to develop and test?
Thanks
hey follerec
i use ubuntu - and jsut use whatever version of PHP it comes with - pretty much everything works if all the php modules are installed - just need to adjust php.ini re max-mem etc..
note: this site and the demo server are running centos - but had to upgrade to a non redhat/centos php to get things all happy
cheers
