Carl Petter Fiskaaen	Thursday 22 January 2009 3:54:18 am Hello. I'm on a Linux machine and have installed PHP 5 and Apache 2. The problem that occours when I'm going to try the index.php file is this message: "Unsupported PHP version " . phpversion() . Exponential 4.x does not run with PHP 4." Yet again PHP 5 is installed, so I don't understand why that error would come. Any suggestions would be nice.

Thursday 22 January 2009 4:32:12 am Either php is not activated correctly* or you are using php 4 and you should see a parse error from php if you enable error reporting because php 4 does not support class constants as used by Exponential 4. * If it was correctly activated / loaded as apache module, then the actually php version would have been shown and not 'phpversion()' IF you indeed have the wrong php version. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom

Hello.

"Unsupported PHP version " . phpversion() .
Exponential 4.x does not run with PHP 4."

Yet again PHP 5 is installed, so I don't understand why that error would come.
