The Apache2 server and PHP version seem to be in order, but when I launch the CRM installer at

http://localhost/<CRM dir>/install.php

The wizard says I need a minimum of PHP 5.1 and preferably PHP 5.2.x. The thing is, I am running PHP 5.2.8, and I know this from running

php --version

Plus, I spent a bunch of time learning how and (I thought, successfully) compiling PHP 5.2.8. It is quite likely I screwed up and don't have some libraries I need, but I'm not sure where to look first.

Thanks in advance.

PS - I know some of you will suggest going to the CRM's forums... I tried this; these are not good. I much prefer the expertise I get here on the Stack Exchange sites.

The command line may run 5.2.8, but may have nothing to do with the cgi or module that apache runs. What does a webrequest with <?php echo phpversion();?> tell you about the version? Possibly use a full phpinfo() to check what's provided & where. Especially if you compiled a version of php by hand changes are high you did it only for the CLI package.

  • I am still new to this server configuration - can you explain more what you mean? How would I do a webrequest for <?php echo phpversion();?>? And/or how would I do a full phpinfo()? I totally see what you mean, however, and I thought it might be something like this. Thanks! Jun 7, 2010 at 20:31
  • (1) create a file in your webdirectory (let's call it test.php). (2) Edit the file and enter <?php echo phpversion();?> (3) Open the url in your browser: yourdomain/test.php (e.g. localhost/test.php) and look at which version it reports.

  • OK, that worked and, as you suggested, it reported that I am using PHP 5.3.2, which is what I DON'T want! Errgh... Thanks again. I have more work to do ;--) Jun 7, 2010 at 20:59
