Problem with migration to PHP5

Hi,

I’m running WP 3.0.1 and until now on PHP4. Looks good. But some functionality is missing. Especially when using plugins like Nextgen.

So I wanted to get PHP5, as is recommended. But now the admin section seems to be broken. The blog itself is still showing fine. But the admin panel is not. It is shown as if css doesn’t work or something like that. All text and links are there, but totally misplaced.

When I reactivate PHP4, everything as before. Activating PHP5 and instantly the display of the admin console is messed up.

Does that make any sense for you?

I and many (most?) others run under PHP 5 without any problems. And I run Nextgen plugin on many sites. How are you changing to/from PHP 5? What implementation of PHP? FastCGI?

add this to your root .htaccess
```
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler cgi-php5 .php
```
php5 should work correctly then

You mean the basic wp directory?

The same directory as your wp-load.php file.

I am sorry. That did not work. But thanks for the advice.

If you have any further suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Well, I might have another lead. Perhaps you can make any sense out of it.

So for testing reasons I switched back to PHP4, where the display of the admin section is fine. Now I use the web developers toolbar from firefox and disable one by one the css style sheets (yes, I know I said style sheets twice ;)).

I got the exact same broken display as with PHP5, when I disable the css information coming from http://domain.com/blog/wp-admin/load-styles.php?c=1&dir=ltr&load=global,wp-admin,dashboard&ver=466b2454247efc0a3125372b6b862725

So, the question might be, why PHP5 cannot get CSS from that file? The permissions are the same as for every other file in wp-admin.

Any suggestions?

This advice (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-stylesheet-admincss-not-working-in-firefox-weird-output?replies=30#post-1434388) worked.

Add this line to wp-config.php

define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);

I just don’t know, what it means and why this helped.
