PHP 5.3.3 & 5.2.14 released

bigredseo · #11 03-25-2011, 09:15 AM

Actually... 4.1.11 needs to be patched to 4.1.12 and THEN you can apply the PHP 5.3 patch.

You must run the latest version of the branch before you can apply the patch;

4.0.19 has the PHP 5.3 patch ability, but no prior version of 4.0.x
4.1.11 has the PHP 5.3 patch abaility, but no prior version of 4.1.x
All versions from 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 are PHP 5.3 compatible.

I am running Litecommerce 2.2.41
Does anyone know if am I likely to run into problems with PHP 5.3 with this (I am also with EWDHosting)
Thanks
Trevor

That's one for Qualiteam. Hopefully they can address this for you. I don't know of any customers running LiteCommerce on PHP 5.3. I think the latest version any of our LiteCommerce users are using is the 5.2, but hopefully Qualiteam can address this.

Trevor, yes that would be one to ask qualiteam. I have not seen any annoucements from them on the issue.

Just so everyone knows we are not going to upgrade overnight. We are just making everyone aware of what's to come in the future so no one gets caught with short pants on when PHP 5.2 is not longer supported.
There is plenty of time for everyone to get up to speed but the changes have to be made.

Awww Emerson - ruin the fun

I was going to pull the plug on a Friday at 5pm so that everyone's websites are down for the weekend

(you know us web hosting companies just love creating our own problems)

Yeah the upgrade of servers to the newever versions likely wouldn't even be completed within 1 month time. I'm not sure how EWD is doing their update process, but ours has been moving users to newer Cloud Servers so not only does the user get the PHP 5.3 but they also get newer equipment and cloud redundant hardware etc. At any time a user can request to be moved to a PHP 5.3 machine and either hosting company will make the move!

PHP 5.2 will be phased out over time, but if it's anything like the PHP 4 to PHP 5 move the process may take up to 1 year for some hosting companies to complete. Still, there's no harm in users upgrading their software and being ready for the change THIS MONTH rather than being forced into an upgrade situation potentially costing hundreds or thousands of dollars in upgrade fees.

Well I thought about doing it all tonight but for 2 reasons I decided not to.
1) WHMCS might blow up with the amount of tickets we would get
2) this old man can not handle it

lol

I thought the patch for 4.1.12 could be applied to earlier 4.1.x versions - see: this

It seems there was a little more to it - but I can't find the threads that describ any additional changes.

Folks, I am looking at all of my installations and not finding patches for php5.3 for X-cart versions 4.1.11 and below. Any thoughts on why? The patch is there for 4.1.12

Still confused. What does this mean for versions 4.1.10 and prior?

bigredseo · #20 03-26-2011, 04:04 AM

Thanks for that info gb2wolrd. Maybe Qualiteam would be cos kind as to copy the patch file to the other distributives that they know it works. It certainly would prevent situations like what mcpilot has right now.

I had been telling my users that the patch was only available on the latest branch, but if the same one can be used on prevent branch versions, that's certainly valuable information to have.

Does anyone have a list of previous version numbers that the patch is still valid and would work on?
