Latest LAPPStack uses OLD version of PHP

I just downloaded this file:

http://bitnami.org/files/stacks/lappstack/bitnami-lappstack-0.9-beta-1-linux-installer.bin

According to the changelog, it should be PHP v5.2.6, but once I installed it and ran phpinfo() its v5.1.5.

As well it would be nice if PHP had more extensions compiled in (or better yet, dynamically loadable).

Common ones are I would like to see in all PHP related stacks:

ctype, date, dom, filter, hash, iconv, json, libxml, mbstring, pcre, PDO, pdo_sqlite,
pgsql, posix, Reflection, session, SimpleXML, soap, SPL, SQLite, standard, tokenizer, xml, xmlreader, xmlwriter, gettext, calendar, bcmath, mcrypt, zlib, zip, bz2, phar

Thanks for the great work!

Hi lpso,

I think you have merged two different installations of PHP because we pack LAPPStack with PHP-5.2.6. You can check it moving to your installation directory and inside PHP dir type:

And you should get:
PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: Jul 15 2008 11:16:14) Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies

I hope it helps

P.S. Regarding to your suggestions we will take them into account for a future release. Thanks for them.

This is what I see when I run phpinfo() from the LAPP Stack Apache:

PHP Version 5.1.5

Unless the LAPP Stack 1.1 binary I downloaded isn’t really 1.1, it looks like its running PHP 5.1.5 to me.

Hi,

I think you have downloaded the old LAPP Stack , which was available at http://www.bitrock.com. BitNami LAPPStack version is 0.9 if I’m not wrong.

Cheers
