I'am getting this:

Your host needs to use PHP 5.3.1 or higher to run this version of Joomla!

when trying to run Joomla 3.1.1 on PHP 5.2...

My webspace provider could not make any php(5.3) upgrade at the moment.

I add

# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

to my htacess.txt file but nothing

How can i run joomla 3 on php 5.2?

You can't run it on PHP 5.2.

But what you can do it find a better host that keeps PHP updated.
