Hi

I’m looking to put on a wifi portal and came across wifidog http://dev.wifidog.org which looks like it could do job for me. I’ve tried installing on SME 7 but I get error PHP ERROR Version 5.0.0 needed. Would I be better try SME ver 6 ?

Anyway I would love to hear from anyone that has already got it up and working.

I've just done a search for a ver 5 rpm and found

CentOS    ftp.centos.org/4.2/centosplus/x86_64/RPMS/php-xml-5.0.4-5.centos4.x86_64.rpm
CentOS    ftp.centos.org/4.2/centosplus/i386/RPMS/php-xml-5.0.4-5.centos4.i386.rpm

CentOS    ftp.centos.org/4.2/centosplus/i386/RPMS/php-xml-5.0.4-2.centos4.i386.rpm

would I be able to just install one of these to upgrade php on SME ver 7 ? or would it mess things up to much ?

PHP only seems neccesarry for the Auth module, according to the FAQ.

It might mess up things as the settings from PHP5 differ from PHP4 as I remember correctly.

As SMEServer uses a template system to build the /etc/php.ini file you will have to modify all the snippets of the configuration files/configuration database to your needs... I think it will definately not run out of the box :-(
