I had my host migrate my site to another server so I could get PHP5 support for another app I'm using. The migration appears to have gone without a hitch. The WSNLinks site renders fine but when you click on a category the category pages come back blank. (see http://www.troutlinks.com/ and then click on any category)

I checked the config.php file to make sure everything is up to date and it looks fine.

Thoughts?

Additional Server Info
PHP Version: 5.2.0
Zend Engine Version: 2.2.0
MySQL Version: 5.0.27-standard
Server Type: Apache Webserver

PHP 5.2.0 breaks many PHP scripts written for any previous version, and since 5.2 hadn't been released at the time WSN Links 3.4.6 was the two won't work togeather. You need WSN Links 4.0.6 or so or later to use PHP 5.2.

PHP 5.1.x will work fine with 3.4.6. If you need to use any other scripts besides WSN you may find 5.2 impractical at this point.

Yes. It's possible there are yet more PHP 5.2 issues I've missed but I can't find any.

Well, I guess we'll find out. I'll be upgrading this morning. I'll report back when I'm done.

Upgrade complete.

The only issue I ran into was that I couldn't log on to my admin account. However, when I modified the upgrade.php file as recommended in the instructions everything went fine.

Excellent work on the new release, Paul!
