 Please note that because of possible SQL injection problems, we do not recommend using Geeklog on MySQL 4.1 (which is still in Alpha state at the time of this writing). We plan to resolve any outstanding issues with the release of Geeklog 1.3.9 in early 2004.

 A note about Apache 2 compatibility: At the time of this writing, there was still no official word from the PHP developers regarding compatibility of PHP 4 and Apache 2. There are, however, several sites running without any problems on this combination. Again, it is suggested to use the most up to date version of both Apache and PHP.

 At the time of this writing, PHP 5 is still in Beta. As one of the main goals of PHP 5 development was to keep compatibility with PHP 4, we do not expect any serious problems with PHP 5. We plan to be fully compatible with PHP 5 when it is released.
 '''MySQL''': While we try to be compatible with MySQL down to version 3.22, we recommend using the most up to date version of the 3.23 or 4.0 variety available at the time you're reading this.

-No.
+Only Geeklog 1.4.0 and later versions will work with <code>register_globals = off</code>. Older versions as well as some plugins and other add-ons still require it to be "on".
 [[#Common problems|How to tell if it's on or off]]
-If you can't set register_globals=on in php.ini (e.g. because you don't have access to it) you can try to create a .htaccess file in your document root that has this line in it:

-This will only work when your webserver is Apache (does a similar option exist for IIS?) and when it's configured such that it lets you override the register_globals setting.

 *If the URL of your site changed, then the URLs to any uploaded images in your stories will still point to your old site. There is, unfortunately, no easy solution for this yet, so you'll have to edit those image URLs in the database directly (using phpMyAdmin). This is currently listed as a bug and will be addressed in a future version of Geeklog.
