PHP Requirement Error
January 12, 2009, 07:12:51 am
I just installed CiviCRM and am getting this error when I try to start using it:

CiviCRM requires PHP Version 5.2 or greater. You are running PHP Version 4.4.8

But, I know for a FACT I am running version 5.2.6

Anyone know what is up?

What host you running on - shared host / your own server / localhost .. ?
 
Could you verify with what phpinfo() shows ?

Look at phpinfo

If you dont know how to get this information put a anyname.php file in your web server with the following lines in it.

Code: [Select]
<?php
phpinfo
();
?>

Navigate to it using your web browser. Now check what is the version and what is the file name visible in the configuration file box.

Some web hosting companies provide php 4 and php 5 and some configuration at their end can cause this problem as well. So, send them an email just to be sure.
