.htaccess woes since upgrade to php 4.4.1

lost functionality on many programs

[Shawn Collins]

Ever since my host upgraded to php 4.4.1. I've got a number of programs that no longer work correctly.

A couple issues are:

Invision Power Board
- Automated e-mails are not being sent to notify people of replies to their posts, notification of new Private Messages, etc.
- RSS feeds are no longer importing into the forum

Movable Type
- Outbound trackback pings are not going out
- Automated e-mails are not being sent to me when somebody makes a trackback to one of my posts or makes a comment

My .htaccess has the following line:
AddType application/x-httpd-PHP .html .php .htm

Should this be modified in any way with the new release of php?

Any other suggestions? I have multiple sites on a managed server and one of them is in SSI - could that be causing a problem (it never did before the php 4.4.1 upgrade).

Hi Shawn, Although this isnt gonna be a solution to the problems you discussed but just a few points.

I think it's not the issue of .htaccess because if it wouldn't be mapping your file extensions that nothing would be parsed as php and as you said "many programs" not all arent working.

Secondly as you know htaccess deals more with the server then with the language so to me these issues seem like of core php.

I guess there might be any libraries that you previously installed additionally into your php installation and prolly they arent correctly configured with the new version?

I am sorry if it didn't help, atleast i tried ;)

Thanks Kami - I've got a managed server (the server stuff isn't my strong suit by any means).

Just grasping for straws, since the host can't seem to figure it out.
