Modifying the version of PHP for your Website
The PHP4 version has reached its end of life and AW GRUP
recommends use of PHP5 version as soon as possible. In order to ensure a smooth
transition, AW GRUP now supports PHP5 version alongwith the existing PHP4 version
for all the existing Linux Web Hosting packages.
IMPORTANT
- Support for PHP4 will be available on existing
Linux Web Hosting packages only until 15th July 2008 post which
the option of switching to PHP4 will be unavailable and your Linux Web Hosting
package will automatically be upgraded to PHP5.
- All new Linux Web Hosting
packages purchased on or after 8th February 2008 will only support PHP5.
Upgrading your website to PHP5 version
- Login to your Control Panel, search for
the domain name for which you have purchased this Web Hosting package and
proceed to the Order Details view.
Click here to read how >>
- Click on Manage Web Hosting Service
in the lower toolbar.
- In the Website Management interface pop-up
that follows, click Switch to PHP5.
Reverting to PHP4 version
- Login to your Control Panel, search for
the domain name for which you have purchased this Web Hosting package and
proceed to the Order Details view.
Click here to read how >>
- Click on Manage Web Hosting Service
in the lower toolbar.
- In the Website Management interface pop-up
that follows, click Switch to PHP4.
IMPORTANT
- In order to complete either of the above two actions, the Web Server
needs to be restarted. Random restarts affect other services running on
the Server. In order to avoid this, the Server has been scheduled to
restart at intervals of 20 minutes. Hence, the change might take upto 20
minutes to be effective.
- You can use only one version of PHP at a time for your website.
- You can switch between the two versions at any time.
- PHP5 is configured on AW GRUP Linux Web Hosting Servers to run
as CGI.

required.
