I'm having some problems getting warning error?

Operating system
Warning: Wrong parameter count for php_uname() in /home/httpd/vhosts/prattpublishing.com/httpdocs/blogs/include/admin/installer.inc.php on line 81

I have searched the forums and havn't found anything about this. Why would it be displaying me this? (before installation when it is verifying everything)

1) Did you name your SQL Database?
2) Do you have the right name and password for the SQL DB info?
Those are the only things I can think of that might be causing a problem like that...

Actually those problems should be unrelated to what Lifeskar asked

Instead it seems you are using an very outdated PHP version 4.1.2. That returns errors for certain php_uname() calls. You should upgrade your PHP as it also contains serious security flaws.

Apart from that, you can ignore the Warning, it does nothing bad.

The installation says 4.2.2... is that a problem in 4.2.2 also?

Basically all versions prior to 4.3.10 are vulnerable to specific exploits. The warning message can really be ignored, it's just an older PHP version problem on some specific hosts. It seems that some of those problems are also because you're using the apache2filter SAPI...

So whats the easiest way to upgrade the php?

[Lifeskar]

Depends, if you're running the host off your own computer, you can do it manually, I think you can get it here: http://www.php.net/ . If its a free host, switch free hosts? lol, If you're paying for it, maybe you can ask your provider. I don't think you can upgrade it w/out having direct server side access.
