Newest x-payments and php 5.2
 

The documentation says it needs PHP 5.3 to run x-payments but I can't upgrade my PHP v just yet so I'm wondering it it will work with 5.2.13, anyone?

I'm stuck in a bad spot, running an old v. of xcart on one website which can't use php 5.3 yet and I am installing a new version for another website which may need php 5.3.

So either I have to completely redo my old site, get another server or host, or just forget the whole thing because its too much work and go with something else.

Put XP on a php 5.3 server.
X-Cart can run on a different server than XP
IN fact, for security, you are advised to have a dedicated user that is not where xcart is hosted. It can be on the same box, but it needs to be a different user account.

checkout.domain.com

that will solve your issue, yes?

PS -- on some VPS' you can have different versions of php running on different users.

My VPS is with Hands-on and I am pretty certain they offered this to me at one point. That could solve your issue.

Re: Newest x-payments and php 5.2
 

I'll ask my host if they can do this. Yes this would solve the problem and I could actually use 4.5.5 and have all users using the updated PHP and just the one using the older PHP.

But with x-payments , if I setup one user on an IP or even domain name of its own, will the checkout process have that domain (as if the customer left the original site)?

In other words, if I setup an x-payments domain called
www.aaaaa.com
and my shopping cart is really at
www.bbbbbb.com

will the checkout redirect to aaaaa.com or is it like a backend system?

Re: Newest x-payments and php 5.2
 

if you store is:
www.bbbbbb.com

Your x-payments will be
checkout.bbbbbbb.com
or
payment.bbbbbbb.com
or
whatever.bbbbbbb.com

regardless of the physical server it's on.

the xp server will have its own ip, its own SSL cert

it will be a closed environment

ok, thanks. My host won't offer multiple PHP versions so that's out. I may go with the xcart xpayment hosting for now until I get my other site upgraded at which time I can update the whole server.

Re: Newest x-payments and php 5.2
 

May I suggest an x-cart specialist host?
Moving servers is not nearly as big a deal as getting it wrong.
If you own an x-payments license you should consider building a hosting environment for it.

Re: Newest x-payments and php 5.2
 

Do you mean the $1189 license that is for sale here
http://www.x-cart.com/xpayments-pricing.html

No, I don't have one. And until just now I didn't realize they didn't sell just a one store license , or do they?

Re: Newest x-payments and php 5.2
 

You don't have to go with the $1189 license.
If you need just one store solution and do not want to waste time on hosting issues - go with X-Payments for Small Business plan that includes 100% compatible and secure hosting for X-Payments, too. And allows to connect one shop - $49.95/mo for X-Payments and PCI compliant hosting, no need to figure out how to install it as it goes pre-installed, no need to look for hosting as it goes included in the plan.
