Topic: [SOLVED] Some php pages won't load after upgrading to PHP 5.3

Hi. I upgraded my CentOS 5.5 server to PHP 5.3 from remi repository and now some (not all) PHP files will load as blank pages. Any idea what the problem could be? I have no idea where to look.

In the apache error.log.

Thanks for the reply. Neither the general httpd log nor the virtual host log keep any record from the moment I try to access those pages. I set loglevel to debug and tried again and still nothing!

Hard to help without more information.

Check (in php.ini)

error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT
log_errors = On

And check that your app doesn't change this values.

Still nothing (though my Joomla website has like a ten-page error message!) I've checked the file and I don't think it changes any settings.

OK. I found the problem. The files I was trying to open use Ioncube loader and the version I have installed doesn't support PHP 5.3. They say they have a beta version that supports it, but I'd rather go back to an earlier version of PHP instead of using a beta version of their loader.

Now, that brings me to my next question: Is there PHP 5.2 packages in your repository? I want to go back but not to 5.1 which is in the CentOS repo.

php 5.2 package are available in the archives folder.
(so no yum, only manual installation)

Thanks. I'll do the install and will mark the thread solved if it works.

I finally got PHP 5.2 from the CentOS testing repo. Thanks again for your time.
