diy Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Since we are on the subject. Before changing host I am trying to copy my site on my pc using xamp. My site was build on osc 2.2-MS2 and is running fine on php 4.3.9 but xamp is using php 5.2.5. I am facing more problem than sinryder. I had to change many "<?=" (are they called operators?) to <?php echo but still I am missing something. Do you think it is worth the trouble trying to copy my site (to xamp and later to a new host)? The only thing is that i am using a template but if i am about to spend a month trying to copy the thing which may have problems i might just as well redesign the whole thing!! What is your opinion??? Ps images for some reason are not working under catalog/images but if i move them in the same level with catalog they are working ex if catalog is under localhost/catalog images are not working under localhost/catalog/images but under localhost/images
Ronaldinho53 Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 My site was build on osc 2.2-MS2 and is running fine on php 4.3.9 but xamp is using php 5.2.5. There is a previous version of xxamp that allows you to switch from php 5 to php 4. I use it on my 2.2-MS2 test site. I'm not sure which release version it is (it's NOT the latest) but google the forums as it was discussed here a few months back. "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.

It depends what contributions are installed? Some contribution will not work on RC2 or php 5.x. I suggest you manual update from ms2 -> RC1 -> RC2 on test/demo site before going to live site. This is how I moved my site with 40+ contributions (can't even remember what has installed) and modified layout store.

Thank you but after understanding that I nnede an earlrier version of Php and Apache I sa that xamp by default haw the latest versions but has also a "get more" option from where you can download and use earlier versions of apache and php!!! As for that "I don't think it's safe to import ms2 database to RC2 installation store" i didnt get it but I will ty something similar on atest site!!! BTW where are the updates??? i ont see them on the download section are they contributions???
