Hi

I did install a fresh virtualmin today on debian etch and noticed that PHP4 was no longer avialable which is great.

How do I remove PHP4 form a previous installed Virtualmin server? Can I simply do a apt-get uninstall php4 and press 'Recheck config' or is there a diffrent procedure?

Thanks.

Also if you are using php4 and you have to comply with PCI standards your certification will end on Sept. 9th.

You are required to use php5 after this date to continue PCI requirements.
