RE: [cobalt-users] Problem with admin interface after reinstalling php

["Robert Roose" <robertr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andy,

Do you know of a tutorial that helps the compiling impaired to install
the latest php version but let it coexist with the 550 GUI?

I need to upgrade my 550 with a new php version but after seeing all the
problems caused by the upgrade I'm hesitating...

thnx
