A dynamically linked version from 10.1 will not run; the major version of l= ibc and other system libraries has changed from 5.x. (Interestingly, a binary from 7.2 will still run on 10.1; the shared library versions haven't changed) A statically linked version might run, unless it relies on system calls that were added after 5.1. > 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 (>=3D 5.3.3) version of php. Whatever you do, make a backup first. :-) FreeBSD 5.1 was released in 2003. So the hardware you're running it on can = be up to 12 years old. It's time to replace it before it dies on you at an inopportune moment. Get a new server and put 10.1 on it.
