Re: php4 to php5

[Keith Roberts <keith@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bass. What problems did you have with php 5.2.5?

I had problems like this when trying to install PunBB forum software.

An error occurred while loading 
http://localhost/punbb-forum/index.php:
 Connection to host localhost is broken.

Did you have the same error as well?

Regards

Keith Roberts
