Downgrading PHP

[Dacob9906]

ok, the steps in the IIS manager are ok, and everything sounds good there. I know this is repetitious, but when you replace stuff in c:|php, you are keeping your old php.ini file correct? If you are, I'm not sure what is going on?

Yes i copy the .ini file before I replace the files and paste it on the desktop. After I replace the PHP files, I copy the ini file back in the php directory. And thats it?

ok, when you go to the properties of the default website in IIS, under the ISAPI filters, does the php filter, should be named "PHP" point to "C:\PHP\php5isapi.dll" and if it does, make sure that that file is actually there.

It points there and the file IS there. But it still shows a down red arrow. Even if i delete the filter and remake one, it still shows down?

Forgot to set the permissions to the PHP folder for IUSR. I was being dumb and replaced the whole folder without realizing I was resetting permissions. Thanks for all the help guys.

That is a logic error in cmd.php. I believe its line 49 you must edit and change the logical operand from > to <=

I follow what you said in this thread..

Yea, its a logic bug in cmd.php. Need to edit line 49 and change it to (version_compare("5.2.0", PHP_VERSION, "<"))


Is this ok?

[BSOD2600]

Ya, I believe so. I made the needed change to cmd.php in my beta installer, but sort of forgot exactly which way that comparison operator needs to point. Changing just that line won't break your cacti installation.

PHP 5.2.2 has over 120 bug fixes. I placed it on two servers having issues with cacti and both run great now. One of the server is J and running win2k server the other is I and on 2003 server.
