We upgraded our server from php5.0.x to 5.1.4
Now, we cannot login. If we click on register or request new password, we get a result that looks like this:
{head} {styles}
{_BLOCK_.header.logo} {_BLOCK_.header.site_slogan} {_BLOCK_.header.blocks} {_BLOCK_.footer.blocks} {_BLOCK_.header.title}
The sites are php 4.6.5 sites.
It looks to like a session management problem and a problem with the theme parsing.
Any suggestion on how to get around this without having to go back to php 5.0.5 and upgrade the sites first?
This is a tricky problem that is just popping up now as webhosts upgrade to PHP5.1. Fortunately, the resolution is simple and well documented in the handbook
That page explains the problem and possible resolutions. It has to do with PHP5.1 and themes based on the XTemplate engine (bluemarine being one).
