I have the latest stable release installed and am now having problems logging into my site.

What I did is add this line:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

to my .htaccess file. I use surpass hosting and they mentioned to me that in order for my site to fully utilize php5 I must insert this. I did and now I cannot log into my site. I know I can just as easily remove it, but I'm in the process of installing the Instant Zero shopping cart module and it will not work with anything less that 5.

Help.

Hi,

xoops (core) works with PHP5. Probably you have module that causing the problem. What modules/versions are you using?

If you can, try to disable modules and enable them one by one to see where is the problem...

You could try:

assuming your host runs both PHP 4 and 5.

@Peekay:

Sounded like a great suggestion but only reduced my portal to displaying gibberish, hehe. Thanks for the suggestion.

@Stefan88:

I'll try your suggestion later today when I get back.

@Stefan88:

I deactivated all my modules while adding this to my .htaccess file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

I still was not able to log in. Once I try to login on the main portal page after the php5 code is introduced to the .htaccess file the site just redirects me to the http://kainaistudies.com/user.php page without any message in between. Not allowing a login.

Does anyone have another idea of how I can get my site to PHP5 solely? I need to achieve this as I will not be allowed a refund if I accept the download of the shopping cart module and test compatibility. The module is not compatible with anything less than php5.

Respectfully *bump*

You have email at the address given in your xoops.org profile. Hope it helps

Thanks John, here's the phpinfo.php readout with the extra code in .htaccess:

======================

Is this info acceptable for dissection of my problem? There was a ton more below this.

Thanks.

BTW,

Here is a snippet from the reply I received from my web host tech sup:

Thanks Fellas.

I'm certainly no expert, but it looks like you need the extra code to run with php5.

Have you searched on here for the /sessions.php code amendment where people can't login? I think I posted the link only yesterday or the day before.

I'm out of my depth here - can anyone else help?
