I've just upgraded the GD web host I have access to from 5.2 (!?!) to 5.3 (?!!?) — it will take a bit for it to activate. SSH access is not enabled on this account, and it would cause a change in the DNS, which I'm not in control of, and the people whom actually own the account are busy with other things, so I can't offer that. I can offer FTP access, however. This is a super clean install of pmwiki experiencing the errors (only changed WikiTitle and DefaultPasswords) so it should be a decent test bed. I'll pass on more info when I can see the new PHP working… > > _______________________________________________ > pmwiki-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
