I've tried the jamss.php script on my site & it responds:
You have to deploy on at least PHP 5 to be able to use this script!

However it is running php5 - Joomla system info is:
PHP Built on: Linux 2.6.32-042stab075.2 #1 SMP Tue Mar 5 15:21:53 MSK 2013 i686
Database Version: 5.0.96-community-log
Database Collation: utf8_general_ci
PHP Version: 5.2.6
Web Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
Web Server to PHP interface: cgi
Joomla! Version: Joomla! 1.5.26 Stable [ senu takaa ama busani ] 27-March-2012 18:00 GMT

Advice please... Thanks!

The script only looks at the major version of php so any php 5.x.x should work and satisfy the script.

Code: Select all

if (PHP_MAJOR_VERSION < 5) {
    die('You have to deploy on at least PHP 5 to be able to use this script!');
}
However, it looks as if the PHP_MAJOR_VERSION constant has only been available since 5.2.7 and so the test will fail (die) on any version less than that as the constant is not available on lesser versions.

This is a bug and I will report it.

Your php version is rather old and insecure and I would recommend updating it to a later version of at least 5.2.9 or to current stable version of 3 if your site will be compatible with 3.
