Hello,
I have recently tried to install moodle on my web server but during the installation i get the following message :
| php | É requerida a versão 4.3.0 e está a correr a versão 5.0.4 | Restrito |
in english : "you need version 4.3.0 of php and you are running version 5.0.4"
Is there any way around this?
Best Regards
Hi Luis
The English text from lang/en_utf8/install.php reads: "PHP version must be at least 4.3.0 or 5.1.0 (5.0.x has a number of known problems)" - which explains why the installer will not proceed with php version 5.0.4. Looks like there was a problem in the translation.
In theory, you could try to skip the php version check by commenting-out the print_compatibility_row line underneath the line "Check that PHP is of a sufficient version" in moodle/install.php - but this may lead to many more problems later on 
. The best way forward is to follow the advice and upgrade to php 5.1.0 or later.

hi there,
i can't upgrade php version because the server is not mine.
tried to coment the line but that didn´t work...still have the same problem...
/// Check that PHP is of a sufficient version
///print_compatibility_row(inst_check_php_version(), get_string('phpversion', 'install'), get_string('phpversionerror', 'install'), 'phpversionhelp');
/// Check session auto start
