Hi guys

Does any of you know where I can find a good linux host where I can run the ShopWindow client software v2?

I'm surprised that many of the most popular hosts still run on PHP4 (ie 1and1)!

I don't run V2 yet but I have a reseller account with eukhost which uses PHP Version 5.2.5

Personally very happy to recommend eukhost.

I can recommend Xilo, they have been running PHP 5+ (currently 5.2.6) for some time and have just installed the SOAP module (possibly at my request). I use their reseller account and have been more than happy with their service and support.

Hi 70007,

You should find that your 1and1 account actually supports both PHP4 and PHP5.

To support PHP5 properly you will most likely need to create a file called '.htaccess' (note the extension is htaccess and there is nothing before the . (dot))

Next add the following line into your new .htaccess file:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

If you upload this to the directory that you have installed your V2 installation into and hit refresh it should work.

See http://faq.oneandone.co.uk/scripting/php/using_php5/2.html for more information.
This method may/may not work on other hosts.

Regards
