Ok my lovely webhost changed their version oh Php today and now my site is not coming up. They have upgraded from php4.4 To 5 and they said that I would need to upgrade my version in the database... How do I fix this.....

I don't think Nuke will run on php5. I'd suggest changing your host - that's a pretty major change to slam on you.

well what happened was yesterday I tried to load my site and recieved a page not found error. I figured site difficulty or something... Well after about an hour I decided to call my host (ipower)..... The tech support informed me that the site was down due to server upgrades.. I inquired about a possible time frame and the tech guy goes.... Ummm you have a nuke site I relied yes... Then he informs me that my databases and nuke cms wil no longer work when the server is upgraded to the newer php. So of course I got a bit nervous me not really understanding much about php. So after another hour I became rather irratated thinking about all the hours I spent working on the site and contacted my host again to ask why they never gave anyone notice.. This time I got a tech who knew what he was doing.. He informed me the site would most likely work and that if it had issue to change error report to true so we could see what errors if any I would have.. Luckily things worked just fine.. I did however loose alittle faith in my host and their tech support

Serafim If you do find any problems which occur because of this upgrade in PHP version could you please post them in the PHP forum?
This will help me track them better as php version issues - thanks.
