I had a server upgrade done and now i can not access several of the modules -of many XOOPS installations.

Xoops versions include both the 2.2 and 2.0.x iterations

Just about every module is affected, all showing varients of the same error message. On most sites I was not even able to get to admin to set php debugger, but here is data I did get:
---------------------------
Notice [PHP]: Only variable references should be returned by reference in file include/functions.php line 491

Notice [PHP]: Only variable references should be returned by reference in file kernel/configitem.php line 97

Notice [PHP]: Only variable references should be returned by reference in file kernel/module.php line 368

Notice [PHP]: Only variable references should be returned by reference in file class/module.textsanitizer.php line 259

When loading xoopsgallery module 1.3.3.7 I get more of the same plus:
Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in /home/alonso/public_html/x2/modules/xoopsgallery/classes/Album.php on line 412

ANY IDEAS OR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...

solved it...

I was running PHP 5.2.0

All I did was downgrade to 4.4.4 and it now works again... Is this a known compatibility problem. I found only one mention (another poster asking about php 5 incompatibility, but didn't find the answer anywhere?

Quote:

The XOOPS 'support' team here runs away whenever you mention windows server or IIS. So sadly we MS people are more or less on our own. I converted (or tried to) from apache2 to IIS6 and after a week+ gave up. I am now back on apache. I have a feeling XOOPS is much less 'platform independent' then claimed. As getting it to run on IIS required what seemed like inhuman feats to not only get the core running but modules as well which MANY seemed to fail under IIS/php5 but worked fine on apache/php4.

If you'd like to poll our knowledge together perhaps we can work out the issues we both have together? Nice to have someone use MS here as well. :)

Possibly as we can't give support on something we don't use.

However if other users have experience with the combination, it would be good to get response from them.
