My apologies is i came off rude in the above statements. It has been a long day and I could have easily looked over the compatibility if the php. So many hours in front of a computer can do that to ya =D.
I noticed the numerous posts on the site regarding this earlier today. I looked over the different threads in your link and a couple I had seen before and the others unfortunately, weren’t helpful in this situation. The main thread I had discovered earlier pointed me to your post about the hackers and the php versions, and the exec being disabled.
Here is the information you requested and I hope that we can figure this out.
PHP: 5.2.17
Joomla: 1.5
Thanks a ton!
