The following information is required to get an answer:
Get this information from the PHP diagnostic (in the configuration wizard).
Gallery URL (optional but very useful):
Gallery version:1.3.2
Apache version:
PHP version (don't just say PHP 4, please):4.4.6
Graphics Toolkit:
Operating system:
Web browser/version (if applicable):

Hello All!

I have been using Gallery 1.3.2 for many years, with no problems. The server I am on right now runs PHP 4.4.6

Now, I tried to move the whole site to a newer server, and cannot open Gallery (along with other scripts unrelated to Gallery)

People that are migrating my site state that the problem has to do with the scripts not being compatible with the newer version of PHP, 5.3.XX

Would appreciate if you could confirm this and give me some help on how to go about solving this

Thanks and regards

The g1 series has not been upgraded or supported for years. I don't know if it works with 5.3,xx or not. But like you have discovered other scrips most likely don't work either.
Perhaps some community members can help you out.

Tim

Thanks for your reply!

So, If I go and upgrade to the latest version, can I go directly from the version I have, or do I have to do a series of upgrades?

Any pointers on the upgrades will be greatly appreciated

Best idea for such upgrades is to first move to G1.5.

However, I believe you should be able to run a PHP4 script such as G1.x with PHP5.3 in place depending on the server configuration.

Do you have root access to the server?

Hello All!

As mentioned before, I need to upgrade my Gallery and move it to a new server running PHP 5.3.XX

Well, I submitted a request for Paid Support on the 7th, followed up on 15th or 16th, as suggested by Gallery, and so far got no answer....if anybody can help me, I appreciate!

Regards

Hi,

Since you have root access, try changing the error reporting line in your php.ini file on the PHP 5.3 installation to

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT

Restart php and see if G1 works.

If it doesn't, you will need to migrate from G1 to G2.3.2 on the old PHP 4.x server first before migrating to the new server.

Even if G1 does work on the new server, I'll suggest migrating G1 to G2 or G3 all the same.
