Shared\/reseller servers are compiled with php 5.2.x and 5.3.x so that anybody who needs a upgraded version of php doesn’t have to upgrade to a VPS OR dedicated server. php 5.2.x is enabled by default on our shared\/reseller servers. To enable php 5.3.x create a .htaccess file under public_html and add the code below.<\/p>\n
AddType application\/x-httpd-php53 .php<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This will enable php 5.3.x for your account.<\/p>\n
If you still face the same issue, contact our support team & they will have it enabled for you.<\/p>\n
For users with VPS hosting<\/a> and dedicated servers<\/a> you can compile both the versions yourself OR contact our support team & they will have it compiled for you.<\/p>\n
