It has come to our attention that the recent server upgrade on our shared hosting server spear.garlic.com has caused some older versions of osCommerce to break. The most common issues are blank pages, or database errors.
We have determined the cause to be an issue with older versions of osCommerce not working well with PHP5. Since PHP4 had an End of Life (EOL) of 12/31/2007, and because of the upgrade to PHP5, it has caused these errors to arise.
To fix this issue, we are urging all customers who use osCommerce to make sure they are using the most current version of osCommerce - v2.2 Release Candidate 2a.
This issue should only effect customers who chose to manually install osCommerce. If you chose to install osCommerce through Installatron, our easy to use script installer, you should not experience this issue.
