SPIP Install Errors

Hello, everyone, I am new to SPIP and the whole PHP, CMS thing, nevertheless, the server (godaddy) that I uploaded the spip_loader.php3 file to for an auto install is a php4 server and did not appear backward compatible, hence I saw the php code instead…furthermore, I was instructed by the godaddy TS to change the file extension to .php, without the « 3, » and when I did that the page was displayed, but when I followed the link I got a 404 Error saying that the « spip_loader.php3 » page could not be found…yet still, given that it kind-of worked when I removed the « php3 » extension and replaced it with the « php, » does that mean that all php files will have to be renamed…

Any response will be greatly appreciated

Hello Salvador,

I suggest using the normal 1.8.2e release and using a .htaccess file at the
root of your site to direct Apache to treat .php3 files with the php4
engine.

See:
http://www.spip-contrib.net/What-should-I-do-if-php3-isn-t

and (if necessary):
http://forum.spip.org/en_178433.html

  Hello, everyone, I am new to SPIP and the whole PHP, CMS thing,
nevertheless, the server (godaddy) that I uploaded the spip_loader.php3 file
to for an auto install is a php4 server and did not appear backward
compatible, hence I saw the php code instead...furthermore, I was instructed
by the godaddy TS to change the file extension to .php, without the "3," and
when I did that the page was displayed, but when I followed the link I got a
404 Error saying that the "spip_loader.php3" page could not be found...yet
still, given that it kind-of worked when I removed the "php3" extension and
replaced it with the "php," does that mean that all php files will have to
be renamed...
