Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.4 on live server

[sumi21kav]

Hi,

We are running several servers and using them for shared web-hosting and like on any other shared hosting server we have clients with different php scripts and many of them are using Joomla and wordpress. Some of them are running older version of joomla 1.5 and maybe some still use joomla 1.0 .

My questions is will upgrading to php 5.4 and Apache 2.4 will cause problems to the active websites ? If the answer is yes what is your suggestion how to perform upgrade lake this ?

Thanks

Hi,

Joomla 1.5 will work on PHP 5.4, but deprecated. you will face many complains from clients about their error logs will increase rapidly due to deprecated functions of old joomla coded. please see this topic of mine. i face this problem. http://forums.cpanel.net/f442/error-log-file-size-limit-356801.html

Hello

It's generally recommended to upgrade Joomla or other common scripts to the most recent versions. While they may function with newer versions of Apache/PHP, they are likely subject to security vulnerabilities.

Thank you.

This link explicitly states that Joomla 1.5 will not work on PHP 5.4.
