Installation Problem on GoDaddy
Page: 1
Recent posts in this topic
Hello, GoDaddy's tech support was miserable in this situation but this is my dilemma...
When I start the installation of ActiveCollab, an error says that the wrong PHP version is being used. I called GoDaddy for an upgrade and they said that they run PHP 4.3.11 and 5.x concurrently, and to run a .php file in what I'm calling PHP5 mode, I have to change the file extension to .php5, for example 'index.php5'. Knowing that this action would cause the installation to hault at a certain point I tried this and alas it stopped after the first installation screen. Is there anything that I can do short of changing all of the source code to reflect that all extensions must end with 5, and changing the filenames? Even if I did go through the trouble of changing the code... would the installation still work?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

.php5 extension is not supported, but you can try to hack the system. Check out this FAQ entry for more details.

You should change .htaccess file for running .php5 by default in godaddy.com shared hosting.
Use txt file, name it .htaccess and upload it in the root dir of activecollab.
This is the content you should write in:
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

Hi,
I got a Deluxe account and the following worked for me with version 0.7.1
Add the following to file .htaccess in the root directory of the app
=========================================
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
Usernames
========
The user name must be the full email address of the person.
Email Settings
===========
Microsoft Exchange compatibility mode: No
Mail transport: SMTP Server
SMTP Server: relay-hosting.secureserver.net
SMTP Port: 25
Use SMTP authentication: No
SMTP username: [blank]
SMTP password: [blank]
Use secure SMTP connection: No
But i had to wait 24 hours after my Deluxe hosting got setup before it started working.
Hope this help.

I tried what vibul and gylevi have suggested but still I get an error saying that i'm running 4.3.
I noticed there is also an .htaccess file in the ROOT of my godaddy hosting account among a few other places (including activeCollabroot). Should I change them all? I did try changing two and that didn't help though either....
like the original poster, I called GoDaddy and they suggested that I rename all the PHP files to PHP5..
of course that doesn't seem like the way to go.
Anyone ?

I got a Goaddy support person who was a bit more helpful. He showed me this link:
http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=1082&
Which says to add THESE two lines (different from the ones posted above):
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4
Unfortunately this hasn't worked either..

The only line you acctually need is
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
The .htaccess file should go in the root directory for ActiveCollab unless you want every php file on your site to be parsed as php5. In that case you would just put the file in your web root directory. There should be no reason for any other .htaccess file in the ActiveCollab child directories. So remove them if you find any. Any .htaccess files above the ActiveCollab directory will not be parsed by the ActiveCollab files if there is a .htaccess file in the ActiveCollab root directory. Also keep in mind that the godaddy site said the .htaccess cache is only cleared once an hour, so you may not see the updates right away. If this still doesn't work, I guess you can rename all the php files to php5. It shouldn't be too hard if you can find (or write) a batch renamer. It'll be worth it to get this application working. It's very (muy, très, Sehr,очень) cool!
