CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello all!
I'm installing CMSMS version 1.8.2 on the hosting, that i'm using more than year. On the step 2 installer won't go forward:
Checking for PHP version 5.2.4+
(minimum 5.2.4, recommend 5.2.12 or greater)
You have 5.2.0-8+etch16
CMS Made Simple requires a php version of 5.2.4 or greater (you have 5.2.0-8+etch16), but PHP 5.2.12 or greater is recommended to ensure maximum compatibility with third party addons

Here is my ticket to hosting support:
Me:Are you planning to upgrade version of PHP to not less 5.2.4?
Now I see 5.2.0-8+etch16 version.
Support: 5.2.0-8 means that version 5.2.4 already supported.

So, the question to all - what have i do? Install earlier version of CMSMS (that support earlier version of PHP) or there is path to install CMSMS version 1.8.2 on this hosting?

P.S. Sorry for my so bad english 

You will have to use 1.6.8 or get a better host...

You think hosting support lies? It is not so bad host. It costs about $8 per month for account (10 sites, 2000mb)

Either they aren't using the PHP they say or something is lying to the installer...

According to a web search, '8+etch16' means that they applied a bunch of patches to 5.2.0 to backport features of newer releases.. Not sure if it *really* is 5.2.4. If CMS is using basic math to determine if the version is 5.2.4 or better, and it sees 5.2.0, I could understand how it thinks that you don't have it..

-8etch13 signifies that the Debian maintainer has applied no less than 13 revisions of his own patchset to PHP 5.2.0 and 8 of some other patchset.

Much of this goes towards backporting fixes from newer versions of PHP, so it doesn't really correspond to any particular PHP release.

5.2.0-[anything] is less than 5.2.4
