confusion about which php version website is being served by

[Mangoose]

Hi

I am using EA4 on my Cpanel server and I work with MultiPHP Manager.
One account is being totally served by PHP 5.6 while others should be served by PHP 7.0 according to the settings by the MultiPHP Manager in those hosting accounts which need PHP 7.0

However when I check if indeed this is the case by adding a file which should reveal to me what PHP version is served

<?php phpinfo();?>

version.php

Then I see PHP 5.6.30 and not PHP 7.0, why is that and is how can I really make sure that PHP 7.0 is served to this website?

Thanks in advance

Anthony

Hello,

Are you using any third-party applications such as LiteSpeed or PHP Selector with CloudLinux on this system?

Thank you.

Michael, I am not on CloudLinux just EA4 and no I am not using LiteSpeed or PHP Selector on my system.

I am using xVarnish on this server and APCu but the latter is not used by any Cpanel account.

Hello,

Could you let us know the contents of the .htaccess file in the document root of the affected website?

Thank you.

Hello Mangoose,

Please try these instructions that I have for you below.

1. Login to cPanel
2. Click the Multi PHP button in the Software section.
   
3. Select the version of PHP you want to use from the dropdown.
   
4. Select the domains that you would like to be used for this version of PHP.
5. Click the Update button to save your php configuration.
6. Check your changes by viewing your setting with PHP info

If this does not work then please provide a screenshot of the version that is defined under the Multi PHP page, however I believe these instructions will get you fixed up!

Thanks,
Mark S.

Hello,

It looks like you are missing an entry in your .htaccess file to define the custom PHP version. Did you replace the .htaccess file on the account? If so, try using the steps in the previous post and let us know if that helps.

Thank you.

What entry do you suppose I am missing here ?

PS Mark's solution is no solution, no offense Mark but what you suggest I do have already tried.
Yet the results do not indicate that my store is utlizing PHP 7.0

 

[cPanelMichael]

What entry do you suppose I am missing here ?

Hello,

For instance, if the system PHP version configured in "WHM >> MultiPHP Manager" is set to PHP 7.0, and one particular domain name is set to PHP 5.6, then the following entry should exist in the .htaccess file in the document root of that specific domain name:

# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php56” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
  AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php56 .php .php5 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

Thank you.

Hello,

I did not mean to insult you so sorry if you took it that way. However I meant sometimes a common issue is people forget to click a box or tick a box and that causes it not to work. If you save it in cPanel does it show that version as being used after you save it when you go back in? If it doesn't then the configuration is not saving. Which would explain why it doesn't work.

Regards,

Mark S.
