Hi!

I search around the web and particularly on the forum and could not get the info I want.

PHP 5.2 is not maintained anymore and there are a lot of security issues with it. So is Apache 2.0.

Is anyone as ever tried running Symphony with PHP 5.3 and Apache 2.2 ?

Is there any thing I should know before doing the switch ? Since we don't have a dev server, I want to take extra caution before doing it on our prod server.

Thanks for your reply.

A lot of people are already running Symphony on PHP 5.3. In fact, those still using 5.2 have reported a few issues (Symphony 2.2), so although 5.2 is officially the minimum requirement, I recommend 5.3. The only bug I know of is one in Subsection Manager, but it's a quick fix documented on its issue tracker.

Super great thanks nick!

What about Apache 2.2 ?

Nick covered it for you, Nitriques. Anecdotally, I can say my studio's development environment is Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3. We have zero issues regarding compatibility that are Apache or PHP related with Symphony.

I've run Apache 2.2.x and PHP 5.3.x for at least the last 6 months without issues (in fact I updated to 5.3.8 yesterday).

PHP5.3 is recommended, PHP5.2 is supported... for now.

@brendo: Great thank you !
