your severely outdated version of joomla (which leaves site vulnerable) not support php 5.3. update site latest version of 1.5 v1.5.26.

http://docs.joomla.org/upgrading_1.5_fr ... 5x_version

afterwards, recommend planning on migrating site new version (currently 2.5. 1.5 has reached end of life , no longer supported.
