Fantastico on new servers

I have Fantastico installing right now on 8.9.24.94, which should be the last of the bulk migrations. After this I'll be working on getting Ioncube loaders on every server, probably, and we'll be in the process of adjusting php versions too I imagine. Changing the version of php is a bigger deal than Ioncube though, since we have to recompile Apache (again) to accommodate that. Also GD libraries should be functional on every server.

Hi Butch,

Thanks for keeping us up on this stuff and, well, everything. My clients are my friends, old friends. So it's very bad to see them be afraid. We are on wwwroot23, and I'm happy to be last.

In the post above you mention php versions changing. Will this have any impact on php scripts I installed through fantastico? (mambo, phplist, moodle)

Thanks for your hard work, and yours too, Jim.

I had hoped it wouldn't, and for the most part it hasn't, but of course in some cases it has. We can accommodate most versions of PHP that you'd need if something breaks because of it. Considering how few issues there have been compared to how many sites we host, I'd say PHP is probably more backwards-compatible than a lot of Microsoft releases.

Take that for what it's worth, I guess...it's not much of a statement if you think about it, but I'm not dealing with changing sites all day to fix PHP versions.
