ssh2 stops working after upgrade

[Clarissa]

I'm upgrading my localhost (XAMPP) to PHP 5.3.8 from 5.3.1.

 

While everything else seems to be working fine, ssh2 is confounding me: when I run a script it hangs for a bit then a "connection to the server was reset" message.

 

shh2 seems to be properly installed so I don't know what else I can do.

 

Here are the relevant details from both versions:

 

5.3.1

 

Registered PHP Streams: https, ftps, php, file, glob, data, http, ftp, compress.zlib, ssh2.shell, ssh2.exec, ssh2.tunnel, ssh2.scp, ssh2.sftp, compress.bzip2, phar, zip

 

ssh2

 

extension version 0.11.0-dev

libssh2 version 1.1

banner                 SSH-2.0-libssh2_1.1

remote forwarding enabled

hostbased auth enabled

polling support enabled

publickey subsystem  enabled

 

libeay32.dll/ssleay32.dll = 0.9.8.12

 

----------------------------------------------

 

5.3.8

 

Registered PHP Streams: php, file, glob, data, http, ftp, zip, compress.zlib, ssh2.shell, ssh2.exec, ssh2.tunnel, ssh2.scp, ssh2.sftp, compress.bzip2, phar

 

ssh2

 

extension version 0.11.2

libssh2 version 1.2.7

banner                 SSH-2.0-libssh2_1.2.7

remote forwarding enabled

hostbased auth enabled

polling support enabled

publickey subsystem  enabled

 

libeay32.dll/ssleay32.dll = 0.9.8.18

 

 

Did something happen between these PHP versions that could cause such an error? And if so, is it fixable?

 

I already have phpseclib on standby in case this isn't resolved, I'd just prefer not to have to rewrite all my scripts if at all possible.

 

Thank you.
