php version 5.3 to 5.2 cant login

[kingofkya]

Ok for another piece of software i need a lower version of php5.2 before i had the remi php5.3 and now I have there archive package running. Now what could have changed that would prevent ispcp from allowing logins. Also other php programs can access the mysql db so i dont think its php-mysql.

centos 5
ispcp 1.0.3

Note i also installed the old versions of:
php-bcmath
php-dba
php-gd
php-ldap
php-mbstring
php-mcrypt
php-mysql
php-odbc
php-pdo
php-snmp
php-xml

Thanks

Possibly, it's related to PHP's crypt() function. Without knowing how it was built, it is possible that the build you are using only supports older DES hashing.

The RPMs for PHP 5.3 in Remi's repository support more hashing functions. (They support MD5 for sure, which is used in preference to DES - see the note in the above link about built-in support for PHP 5.3.) ispCP Omega will use the strongest method possible for the PHP version that is running.

The only real solution short of moving back to 5.3 is to reset all passwords, which will generate compatible hashes for the build of PHP you are using.

ok thanks now how would i go reset the passwords correctly.

I don't see a mention of it on the forum search.

Also theres only like 4 password at this point so its no big deal.

For the ispCP login passwords, use the "forgot" link (it's under the image of the lock) to get a reset code. Once you log in, you can change any others.

Thanks in the end I went back the debian just more used to it. Took 2 days on CentOS. Debian i had it up the first try in about 2 hours.
