tenaki Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I have submitted a ticket about this but I think people should be aware My community suite was upgraded by Invision to 2.2.2 around Sept time and apart from some server downtime all the functions worked as expected. On Monday Invision upgraded to 2.2.3 and since then gallery doesn't work, you can't edit posts and as yet not sure what else won't work. I have been told that my php version doesn't meet the requirements for Invision which would mean that between versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 the minimum requirements for php must have changed. I could and probably have missed something but looking at the announcements re upgrades/updates I don't see this mentioned For me this is a bit of a headache because I now need to pay my host to upgrade my Plesk from 8 to 9 if I had known I would have held off upgrading to 2.2.3 but there were so many bug fixes for 2,.2 that I thought it was worth it. Anyway please check before getting Invision to upgrade and if anyone knows when the minimum requirements were changed I would be gratefull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It does list php 5.2. on the requirements page :smile: , I'm not sure if that's been updated recently or has been that way for a while: [size=3]Minimum Requirements[/size]PHP 5.2.0+ GD2 Extension SPL Extension DOM XML ExtensionPHP 5.2+ GD2 Extension SPL Extension DOM XML Extension JSON Extension[*]MySQL 4.1+ [*]IP.Nexus requires Zend Optimizer or IonCube [/list] [size=3]Recommended Requirements[/size][*]MySQL 5+ [*]IP.Nexus requires Zend Optimizer or IonCube [/list] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenaki Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 I appreciate what you are saying Andy and yes it could have been like that for sometime but if that is the case then surely my v2.2.2 would not have worked either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I'm not myself aware of it changing recently, although I don't frequent that page very often obviously :) A member of staff will be able to clarify for you hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 We have a minimum PHP requirement of PHP 5.2.0. While we may or may not have used PHP 5.2-only functions in earlier versions, this is irrelevant - because the minimum requirements call for this, we can use such functionality and would not avoid it, if needed.

• Jay • Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 2.x series is quite old. I doubt people will be upgrading to it. That would be like warning people about upgrading to Windows 98 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard.C Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 2.x series is quite old. I doubt people will be upgrading to it. That would be like warning people about upgrading to Windows 98 today. I am assuming he indeed meant the current v3.x seriesOn Monday Invision upgraded to 2.2.3 and since then gallery doesn't work as it would seem IPS did the update for him. If that is the case, the IPS staff member in question should have noted the requirements warning in the update window, you know the page that displays as a check before you proceed with an upgrade. At that point, the upgrade should have been aborted and the customer informed. RSVP if I got any of that incorrect. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenaki Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 My apologoies the above should read 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 My question remains the same though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
• Jay • Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I appreciate what you are saying Andy and yes it could have been like that for sometime but if that is the case then surely my v2.2.2 would not have worked either The requirements were for PHP 5.2 since I started my own community on 3.1.4.

tenaki Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yes as I thought so why is it only now after upgrading to the very latest version am I being told I don't meet minimum requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
• Jay • Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yes as I thought so why is it only now after upgrading to the very latest version am I being told I don't meet minimum requirements A game I play "requires" 512 MB of VRAM. My video card has 256. I play it anyway. I'm sure a similar game with the same requirement would refuse to even start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenaki Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Mods can you upfate the title of this to read Beware if upgrading to 3.2.3 You need PHP5.2.0+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcher Technologies Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 in frank honesty not only does that minimum requirement basically mean if a function is used that isnt existent in a lower version your borked, but any mods you use that use any of these functions (or the IPS derivatives thereof)are as well.... how have you managed to float by like that? as Jay states, PHP 5.2 has been a minimum since well before 3.2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenaki Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Oh well my mistake, I thought they would have noticed by now when upgrading for me. So whatever functions have been added in 3.2.3 must have knocked it out.Have been running PHP v5.1.6 So far I am only aware of the gallery not working and edit post not working, dare say there will be more though just wish I had stuck with 3.2.2 but........

Axel Wers Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Sorry guys, but PHP 5.2.0 was released exactly FIVE years ago. I wonder that someone still uses an older version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenaki Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 I just wanted to end this post with an apology to the team. Sometimes running a community can be quite fraught if you are having a run of various issues, server and/or software issues and if you get both at the sametime you sometimes can't see the wood from the trees. This was happening when I posted this and it was born out of frustration a lot of which is clear to the experts but not so clear to the layman. So apologies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Sorry guys, but PHP 5.2.0 was released exactly FIVE years ago. I wonder that someone still uses an older version. Dang, you beat me to it. I was about to say the same exact thing. You would get yelled at by about any PHP developer for running anything bellow 5.2 at this point.
