Which OS are you on? Linux or Windows?

Which OS are you on? Linux or Windows?

Fedora Core4, apache 2, php v5.0.4, MySQL v4.1.11
But as far as I have seen some previous posts, I think it needs 5.1.x or greater but I'm not very much sure about it.

I am also using Linux but with PHP Version 5.2.1.
I am also using the new beta version of TimeTrex.

Ok thanks. I think it's time to upgrade my php now. I will do that over this weekend and then I will again try to setup TimeTrex.

PHP v5.0.4 specifically has a nasty bug where it fails to assign variables by references in some cases, so we have disallowed installations with that version. Any other version of PHP 5 should be fine.
