installing elgg on dreamhost
Tech, elgg December 22nd, 2008I was trying to install elgg1.1 at a dreamhost server and it exited with an error message “Elgg error: Elgg does not support PHP 4.”. I tried to add the PHP Add handler to compel the server to use PHP5 instead of PHP4. But, It did not work.
Then, I found that the issue was because the .htaccess file in the elgg install did not detect the PHP version. So, I just did a simple trick to get it working.
I Opened the .htaccess file and commented the following code in the .htaccess file, and it worked.
# php 4, apache 1.x # # ErrorDocument 500 “Elgg error: Elgg does not support PHP 4.” # RedirectMatch 302 .* index.php ## php 4, apache 2 # # ErrorDocument 500 “Elgg error: Elgg does not support PHP 4.” # RedirectMatch 302 .* index.php #
