No. The other way works, newer systems have compatibility layers to support old binaries but an old system won't run a new binary. > At the moment I'm urgently in need to update an intranet forum (pbpBB3) to > a 3.1.5 version and this requires a newer (>= 5.3.3) version of php. Well FBSD 5.1 was released in June 2003 and 5.5 in May 2006 so ports support for the 5.x branch could have stopped as early as the middle of 2008 If you go to http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports and set the sticky revision you can look through what was available at that time. A couple of quick svn searches shows that rev 21000 was in march 2008 but I'm not sure of the versions, both www/mod_php4 and mod_php5 use distfiles of php-4.0b2 Pick a revision around that time that has a versions you want, checkout a copy and try building, as url's change you may need to manually download the files you need, you should find the main sites have older versions that mirrors no longer keep. -- FreeBSD - the place to B...Software Developing Shane Ambler
