How to run Mambo 4.5.3 on PHP 5.3.1 ? - 2011/05/02 18:25 I have a website which runs on Mambo 4.5.3, which runs fine on PHP 5.1.6

I plan to move the website to a new hosting, but the new hosting uses PHP 5.3.1. When I ran the website, I got the following error.


Warning: Parameter 2 to frontpage() expected to be a reference, value given in DampphtdocsenincludesCacheLiteFunction.php on line 100

When I set the display_errors parameter to 'Off'. the error message disappeared. However, the website does not run normally. Several pics disappear, and some pages doesn't show either.

Furthermore, when I chechked the page source from Firefox, I found that certain PHP lines are not rendered properly. For example, in the new hosting PHP 5.3.1), these PHP lines are NOT properly rendered to HTML.
Code:

 /images/menu1.gif"> Latest News ... /images/menu2.gif"



But PHP 5.1.6 never has problem at all,
Code:

  Latest News ...



You see, PHP 5.1.6 properly renders the $mosConfig_live_site PHP variable to http://www.mywebsite/en/, while PHP 3.1.6 does not.

Furthermore, when I opened the Mambo Admin page, all the icons disappear, as shown on the screenshot below.


FYI, the website runs fine on Mambo 5.16. For instance, the Mambo Admin page runs normal on PHP 5.1.6


I just don't have time to migrate the website to newer version of Mambo, or to Joomla. Is there any changes in Mambo that I should do?

Many thanks,

Re:How to run Mambo 4.5.3 on PHP 5.3.1 ? - 2011/05/20 17:46 I am working on Maliro, which is a fully compatible upgrade of Mambo 4.5.6 that runs correctly on PHP 5.3. It also incorporates quite a lot of new technology from my Aliro CMS.

It's not quite ready for release, but you're welcome to be a pre-release tester for the code. It can be installed over an existing Mambo installation.

If you would like to do that, please write to me - martin at remository dot com.
