It works fine on my testbed, but not theirs. It's an issue apparently with safe mode. I cannot upload modules from the module manager nor from an XML file. The whole point of migrating these folks to CMS-MS was to make things easy for them to maintain. I wanted to keep them from having to upload things via FTP. This is a Civic Club and they will have PDF files and other documents to upload, and it would have been really nice to be able to do that from the admin panel. So if you guys have sites running with safe mode on that have been able to get around the file upload issue (and it is a BIG issue, NOTHING can be uploaded from the admin panel on this live install), I'm all ears and I may even be persuaded to be all wallet too, if you get my drift. Thanks for any help. My prototype site is here: http://cmsms.mytestbed.com The main site which I am working on this evening is here: http://idylwood-houston.org Thanks!

Anyway, I'm wondering if you had problems uploading images and files via. the editor (I am using fckeditor) at all because of the safe mode problem? I seem to have most things working except this - which is unfortunately critical for my client - help?! heh Draak,

They just announced the PHP4 end of life. Seems like I was only slightly ahead of the curve. @saltydog: Take a look at http://php.net. They just announced the PHP4 end of life.

I am in the same situation, managing CMS for 2 or 3 clients that really don't want to put theris hands on the installation. Maybe is it too early for a full switch to PHP5? A smooth transition is more welcome! @Ted: I understand how programmers are eager to use new functionalities and new methods with PHP5, but the issues rised by Jatinder are real.

You just can't upgrade to 2.0. @Jatinder: It's not like it's an issue for existing sites... just new ones. And if you're creating the site, can't you suggest what hosts to use? Anyway, if you take a look at the list of CMS's that are making the same change, you're going to have an increasingly harder time finding another CMS to use that still works on PHP4 (drupal, typo3, website baker, etc). PHP4 is a dinosaur and is getting increasingly harder to write decent programs with. As programmers, we want to start writing better software using ALL of the wonderful features that php5 gives us. Not just workaround php4's limitations time after time again because hosting companies don't want to deal with the upgrade. That's the reason for the whole gophp5 initiative in the first place. @saltydog: You can continue to use the 1.0.x and 1.1.x versions. You just can’t upgrade to 2.0.
