Hello together, an incompatible change was made to the 5.4 series without any notice.
It's related to RecursiveDirectoryIterator https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64228 See the source here: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-5.4/ext/spl/spl_directory.c#L1452 I've never used the "SKIP_DOTS" parameter and so within the 5.4 series it may work or not... Drupal also had such an issue: https://drupal.org/node/1785216 Two things could be done IMO: - revert this change from 5.4 - mention it in the Upgrade Guide 5.3 -> 5.4 Best regards Martin Keckeis
