Interspire Shopping Cart doesnt support PHP 5.3

Posted on 02. Mar, 2010 by forouzani in Ecommerce

This morning, while trying to setup a development environment to integrate Interspire Shopping Cart with another application, I had a hard time getting the shop to load. Everything seemed to be setup correctly, even the database connection was being made… but all I would get was a 500 Internal Server error. I spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out why a default ISC install was failing with a 500 error, investigating everything from the .htaccess file to apache server settings.

When I moved on to investigate the php.ini file, I noticed something – the server was running PHP 5.3! I pretty much instantly knew this was the fault. I had been using this server for Symfony application development, and symfony loves PHP5.3, so it wasn’t an issue, but it seems Interspire hasn’t been upgraded to handle the latest version of PHP.

After recompiling PHP with 5.2.11 – everything is now working perfectly.

    Hi, I also just recently upgraded from php5.2.17 straight to php5.3 and my clients interspire shopping cart is working perfectly except for the video search under the images/video tab when you add/edit a product.

    I was wondering if you had perhaps had a relook at a more recent version of interspire on php 5.3 and if so are you having a problem still.
