 * On the plugins list it reports **nginx Compatibility (PHP4)** but the server 
   is using PHP 5. Any clues?

 * Did you activate PHP5 version?
 * Actually PHP4 version won’t do any harm — it is the same as PHP5 version but 
   the code does not have any language constructs that are not supported by PHP 
   4.

 * Thanks for the swift reply. It seems that the installation script enables by 
   default the PHP 4 version. I disabled it and then I activated the PHP 5 version.
