Problems migrating from PHP4 to PHP5

I needed to create some snippets using PHP5 code and I added ’AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php’ to my .htaccess (my server has both PHP 4 & 5) but now my MODx doesn’t work properly

- I can’t login to manager (see image)
- I can’t backup database on manager (link doesn’t work)
- Seems that several pages have parse error because the ’done but with some errors’ script message appears on several pages
- After trying almost everything I decided reinstall MODx but I can’t.. The install doesn’t recognice the checkbox!! I check the ’I agree’ to license agreement terms and the installer don’t go any further.. always back to license agreement again!
- When I tried to modify some page, snippet, etc.. I receive thsi message ’Erm... You supposed to be here now? ’

What should I do to a smooth migration from PHP4 to PHP5?

Tough to say really; but this is definitely an issue with your PHP configuration. If you have both PHP 4 and 5, there needs to be some way to switch your systems between them; just adding that handler to Apache is not a solution. I suggest making sure your PHP configuration is correct before attempting to mess with MODx in that situtation; it sounds like Apache is confused on when to use PHP 4 and PHP 5, or perhaps PHP 5 is just not set-up properly.
