TestLink 1.8.5 on RHEL5 running with PHP 5.1.6

[stargazer99tang]

Hi!

I'm having PHP 5.1.6 on my RHEL5 server. Therefore, my php-common, php-gd versions are of 5.1.6 as well. I've just installed mantis. I understand that the latest TestLink runs with PHP 5.2 and above. Has anyone installed this version without having to upgrade the version of PHP? If I am not mistaken, I need to update every component of PHP such as php-mysql, php-common and php-gd to be on par with the latest version 5.2 as well, right?

Actually, my major concern is some of the functions used in latest stable mantis are deprecated in PHP version 5.2. Therefore, I'm a bit reluctant to upgrade the php version. Is there an older version of TestLink available for PHP 5.1.6?

Generally, there is json library in php5.2 what is required. You can configure TL to use tree menu different than ext-js and the most of functionality will be working well.
I cannot recommend you to downgrade to 1.7.x.

I think I've disabled the ext-js component in Testlink. After license agreement, I clicked on Proceed. I am not sure if it is installed successfully as the page only displays up to "Connecting to database <database> : OK!

When I tried to go into testlink/login.php, it redirects me to the installation page again. I'm at a lost at what could have gone wrong...

Hello,

I am trying to install testlink in RHEL in the below env

PHP 5.1.6
RHEL 5.4
Testlink 1.9.2

I tried to disable ext-js, but I don't think I am doing it right.
Any pointers to the steps to disable the ext-js component?

Thanks in advance!

Adding more info onto my previous post, I tried adding custom_config.inc.php
"$tlCfg->treemenu_type = 'JTREE'; "

But I still get an error message "Failed! - You are running on PHP 5.1.6, and TestLink requires PHP 5.2.0 or greater. This is fatal problem. You must upgrade it. " in the first installation page

Look closely at the message:

But I still get an error message "Failed! - You are running on PHP 5.1.6, and TestLink requires PHP 5.2.0 or greater. This is fatal problem. You must upgrade it. " in the first installation page

Need to update the PHP.

TurboPT !!Thanks for the message.
But I am trying to get around this without upgrading PHP.
From my googling & the brief footnote in testlink installation manual, my understanding is that I can use PHP 5.1 by disabling the ext-js component.
My question is how do I disable the ext-js component?

Thanks again for your time!

not upgrading PHP is a BIG error, because you are not following system requirements => your issues will be ignored
In addition 1.8.x is not supported anymore => is better if you upgrade to 1.9

thanks a bunch!
I was hoping to stick with the older php as our server has other apps that use it..
But will upgrade now.
