Running Selenium 1 RC commands against Selenium 2 server

I'm trying to get Selenium 1 commands working against a Selenium 2 server. From what I've read, the Selenium server stand-alone jar will also accept Selenium 1 RC-type calls. For example, if I have Selenium 2 running on selenium.server:4444, I should be able to call:

http://selenium.server:4444/selenium-server/driver?cmd=getLogMessages

and get a valid response. Instead, I get a 500 error. This seemed to be explained here:

Selenium 2: How to check that server is running and stop the server?

Is my understanding correct or am I missing something here? We are running the Selenium extension of PHPUnit, so we cannot use the Java bindings for Selenium 2 (which I understand have built-in reverse compatibilty).

Make sure you're using the latest PHPUnit version, there was a bug in earlier versions causing problems with Selenium server.

The node should be started with role node as well.

Did you start the Selenium Server with Java?

If not, try it.

If I understand your question right, your server isn't starting.
