Hello,
Does anyone have a clue how to use php on a server configuration - is it better to use php with mod_apache or cgi/fastcgi ? I can choose this setting in my server-config at 1und1 and have no clue... regards jens

Consult with 1und1 service what php mode could give you php 5.3 setup.

Hi Maxim, they do not offering a php 5.3-Use with dedicated-severs, donĀ“t know why. Is 5.3 insecure?

See http://docs.joomla.org/Should_PHP_run_as_a_CGI_script_or_as_an_Apache_module%3F

FastCGI is what I use. More secure and no file ownership problems.

jjk, aah thx for the link. a good article to get some background-knowledge, thank u!

That's bad for them and for their clients. Php 5.3 is better for compatibility with Joomla 2.5/VM 2, for more speed and more security (then unsafe php 5.2).

Hi Maxim,

what is with 5.4? Is this Version as good as 5.3 how you mentioned?

5.3+ is recommended for Joomla 2.5 and 5.4 is OK for J2.5 and VM2.0.22 but some Joomla extensions are not yet 5.4 compatible.
