[CCGI] Warning to Joomla CMS users on Plusnet servers

[#1]

Having spent several hours reinstating my websites to version 1.5.6 due to an incompatibility with Plus Net in the 1.5.7 upgrade patch. I advise all users of Joomla on PN not to upgrade any further than 1.5.6 until such times when Plusnet finally upgrade to php5.
php4 (the webserver that PN use) reached "End of Life" in August this year. As a result, Joomla and many other web software people are no longer supporting php4 in other words they are saying if you can't keep up, tough, we ain't interested.
Is Plus net any closer to implementing php5 because I don't want to be left behind.

I'm running joomla 1.5.7 on the new Plesk servers with no problems.

1.5.7 running fine for me too ;).  1.5.6 is insecure - see the Joomla home pages. My site got defaced a few weeks back when the vulnerability was first announced - hence the upgrade.

Yes, I know plesk is compatible and I now, with the help of Kev Mawson have moved the site. Also, since my little problem on ccgi there is a work around available to make 1.5.7 work on the ccgi or php4 to be precise but there wasn't when I first upgraded.

Any chance of sharing the workaround, please?
BTW, love the avatar the GS is too tall for my short fat hairy legs (sorry if TMI  :D) but they are great fun!

The GS is awesome, love it and it ain't that tall. I only have 32" inside leg and I can straddle it fairly easily.
Call me old but what is TMI?
Apart from BMW badge the rest is my own work on the avatar.

Too Much Information

Many thanks for the Joomla fix link.
Your "only 32in" is a clear 4inches more than my tiny 28in jobbies, hence my comment - I've had a GS as the loaner whilst my RT is in for service a few times because I do enjoy the fun of 'em, but have to admit it is too tall for me as a permanent ride, sadly, as I can get one foot down nicely, but the other barely touches the ground whilst doing so, even with the suspension as low as it goes  but enjoyed them for the short time available.

How about an ER-6n or Versys then? The Yamaha MT-03 is kinda fun looking too and would fit your legs a peach    I'm itching to get another bike but the missus has other ideas. I fear the topic has gone somewhat adrift, so for the record, my Joomla 1.5.7 is working peachy on PAYH too!

In case I'm not the last to find this. There is a component for Joomla called magic updater http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,6259/Itemid,35/
It's simple to install and even simpler to add the latest 1.5.7 to 1.5.8 patch. Once installed just click the button in the control panel select the upgrade you want then job done.
As one of the reviewers says "This should be a core component" It saves loads of time.
