We set up an EE site in 2009 using the then current version 1.6.7 and the site has been running since then with few issues. The production server running this site is a Windows 2003 Server with an installation of Plesk on top of IIS. Last week we had issues with several WordPress sites running on this same server and in the end we disabled the Plesk application in order to solve the issues. We installed PHP version 5.2.17 in the root of the servers C drive and changed the WP sites from the Plesk PHP installation to the 5.2.17 installation. After this change the WP sites began functioning perfectly however when we did this with the EE site the site home page will load but the navigation within the site is now not functioning correctly at all - every link either reloads the home page or displays a version of the home page missing a few images.
We are wondering if there are incompatibilities with EE 1.6.7 and PHP 5.2.17? We are using the same MySQL db as always so I do not believe this to be a db issue. No other changes were made within the EE configuration or the site. From reading other posts it looks like we should upgrade at least to EE 1.7.1 - but it is strange that the site had been working fine and now has these issues. Could there be an issue with the fact that Plesk was running on the server and has since been disabled?

I am posting this topic on behalf of my IT Manager who is currently on vacation and unavailable until next week, so I apologize for any inadequacies in my description of the situation, I am just trying to get some insight on this issue rather than just waiting for his return 😊
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this issue.
