I've inherited osTicket v1.6 ST from a very technically minded predecessor and it's run so well I've

never had to touch it before. Now, though, we've moved it to a new

server with PHP v5.6 and while everything else about it appears to run perfectly there,

our scheduled task to fetch mail using api/cron.php is failing. Running this script

in command line I see a slew of warnings and strict standards notices, along with a deprecated notice:> php.exe \api\cron.phpPHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Misc:() should not be called statically in \main.inc.php on line 101PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Sys:() should not be called statically in \main.inc.php on line 146PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Cron:() should not be called statically in \api\cron.php on line 20PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Cron:() should not be called statically in \include\class.cron.php on line 39PHP Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in \include\pear\Mail\mimeDecode.php on line 335PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method MailFetcher:() should not be called statically in \include\class.cron.php on line 24PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method Misc:() should not be called statically in \include\class.mailfetch.php on line 346PHP Warning: mcrypt_decrypt(): Key of size 15 not supported by this algorithm.

the first question (which I'd have asked in a v1.6 category if there was one

is) - is there likely to be an easy way to fix this without upgrading? This would buy me some time to get more familiar with the system, figure out if any mods were installed, line up some support in case the database stuff is beyond my skillset, etc...Otherwise, can we reasonably upgrade from 1.6 ST directly to 1.9, or should we do it in stages?Thanks very much!Deborah
