Joomla 1.5 help

[SpiritWebb]

I have Joomla 1.5 on my server as OuterNet's site, however when clicking the Global Configuration option in the admin section, it displays blank, as well as the plugin manager.

PHP Built on: Linux 1106-01-36 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 16:48:13 EST 2009 x86_64
Database Version: 5.0.77
Database Collation: utf8_general_ci
PHP Version: 5.1.6
Web Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)
Web Server to PHP interface: cgi-fcgi
Joomla! Version: Joomla! 1.5.4 Production/Stable [ Naiki ] 6-July-2008 22:00 GMT
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.597.84 Safari/534.13

Does anyone here know how to fix this issue? Would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

Geez, can`t think of a reason right now, the only thing you could try is make sure you have ZIPArchive ready. It`s a PHP library which comes standard with PHP and used to be a requirement for Joomla. If it`s not present, the plugin manager might not work, but heck, i never use Joomla lol, so i don`t know.

I do know there`s a new version of it, so maybe try that one as an alternative?

I can't do that until I can get my host to upgrade the PHP 5.1 to 5.2. Joomla 1.6 requires 5.2+ on the php. Hopefully I can get that upgraded on the host, and upgrade to 1.6 on Joomla...but until then...I kinda need to figure this out. I posted on the Joomla forums, but so far, no answer

Do you have access to SSH? CentOS seems to be failling behind a bit.

Try

Code: Select all

yum update php

If that doesn't update anything your repo isn't up to date.

What you'll need to do is make a new repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/:

Code: Select all

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Testing.repo

Paste this in there (hit 'i' or 'insert'):

Code: Select all

[c5-testing]
name=CentOS-5 Testing
baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing
includepkgs=php*

Press 'ESC' and 'shift' + 'Z' twice or type ':wq'

Now just do a simple update:

Code: Select all

yum update php

Or preferably update everything:

Code: Select all

yum update

Restart apache:

Code: Select all

service httpd restart

And check your phpinfo.
