The next days I want to upgrade our PHP-Installation (apache-module). Are there any specials I should configure in order to run FUD with 4.2.x?

It's the first time, I am installing PHP, so I didn't want to do to many things wrong.
Fortunately there is a detailed documentation at the php-site.

FUDforum does not require/need any special modules, the only thing you may want, is to enable pspell support in php --with-pspell (you'll need pspell & aspell installed). That way, in your forum you'll have an option to enable the spell checker.

This is one feature I want to install absolutely, and which isn't installed at the moment.
I think you can't imagine how important a spell-checker can be if you wouldn't be a native english speaker.

Actually the spell checker supports the german language, so if your forum was in german you could spell check it just as well as the english forum.

I compiled PHP with pspell support, but as I already pointed out in another post some time ago, the German spell checker isn't as worked out as the English one. It lacks of many expressions Sad. There are no problems with upgrading but there's one thing u should keep in mind: register globals is now turned off by default, so it's a good idea to rework ur php.ini if u depend on them turned on (some scripts insist on that).
Good luck

The settings in php.ini would ONLY change if you are doing a clean installed. Otherwise PHP leaves you php.ini intact.

I'm wondering, what this setting means?

Why is it important for FUD?

As far as FUD is concerned this setting won't affect you, if you have it turned ot FUD may be a little faster, since it won't need to internally emulate the register globals functionality.

What this option does is allowing access of data passed via GET/POST/Cookies directly. For example blah.php?cool=stuff with register_globals set to on, will result in a varaible $cool that will contain the string 'stuff' in it.

In general almost any *nix program would leave an existing config file untouched, that's why I didn't find it worth mentioning it. When smike says he wants to upgrade the version then I presume that he's got some basic *NIX knowledge to know this, too.
