Updating php version

[Ron Williams]

I'm not very familiar with cPanel, but since my host kicked me off there server I had to get my own.

I need to update my php version to 5.x.x, I don't care which secondary version, but it needs to php 5. I tried this via whm's check box thing, but all the sites seem like they're serving the php files instead of processing them after I install 5.x.x through whm. Are there extra steps I need to do? If so, what are they?

recomplie apache

hi,
you would need to recomile apache with required version. apache needs to be restarted after compilation but it may not start if you did a mistake in compiling.

If you don't have expertise to handle it, hire a system admin, or you could break your apache installation and your hosted sites would suffer.

there are few threads which might help you do the same.
