Hi, I try ton install MediaWiki 1.17.0 on Free in France, and I get the message "PHP 5.1.3RC4-dev is installed. But MediaWiki requires PHP 5.2.3 or newer." So what can I do? Install previous version of MediaWiki or is there another solution?

cheers Klaus

That php version was released on March 2006, is not officially supported and has several critical problems (for instance 5.1.4 had to be released just 3 days after 5.1.3 release due to "a critical bug with $_POST array handling"). I think you should request free.fr a newer and more secure version of php instead of that aged one.
