ID: 48761 Comment by: rob-sturgill at yahoo dot com Reported By: aheckmann at m-s dot de Status: To be documented Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: win32 only - Windows 2000 SP4 PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment:
"No, the solution is to use at least a 10 years old operating system. The idea solution is to use a recent one." Pierre, While I appreciate what your team does more than I can possibly express, I believe this is a shocking response. If 5.3.0 doesn't support Windows 2000, then simply drop support for Windows 2000 in the documentation. Fine, no problem. Like the prior comment from 'broth' it's agonizing to break a working installation, going to 5.3, when that version simply does not support the OS. Otherwise, users like myself are going to waste hours debugging this mess. I respectfully request a change to the 'Changes made to Windows Support' to correct the statement: "The minimum Windows version is now Windows 2000; Windows 98, ME, and NT4 are no longer supported."

I would really like to see this fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-19 07:25:58] broth at superp dot com I sure wish a notice was put on PHP 5.3.0 that is would not work with win2000 I had PHP working! After the load of V5.3.0 my previous V 5.1 version is corrupt! One simple Warning note would have saved me hours! Thanks for the concern. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-03 23:43:27] paj...@php.net PHP 5.2 works just fine in this configuration. So you can follow they lovely adage and keep using 5.2.x with the existing apps :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-03 23:09:48] composer at singers dot org dot nz I run Small Business Server 2000 and need to set up PHP within IIS to support some services that I need to provide and right now am unable to do so so am "hog tied". Although only a small site being able to provide the services required for the organization is critical.. Win2K SBS has proved very stable and reliable and the owners do not wish to change.. The old adage here.. "If it ain't broke don't fix it and don't screw with it" is what they like. The current environment meets their needs perfectly and has been highly reliable. Now they wanna add an extra service that uses MYSQL and PHP. So installing PHP is critical. Therefore some fix for them is important or at least a practical workaround. So yep there are Win2K servers out there and YEP a "fix" of some sort would be good.
