Hello

My servers has

Mysql 5.1.73-cll
PHP 5.2

I'm using the ntPHPSelector (plugin not official )that my client can run new versions of PHP on your account.

I wish to upgrade to MySQL 5.5 but do not want to change the PHP version and keep version 5.2

If I upgrade MySQL to version 5.5 will I lose PHP 5.2 ( by default ) in my server ?

At this point I just wish to change the version of MYSQL and maintain PHP 5.2

Some suggestion ?

Thank you
Konrath

Hello :)

PHP 5.2 is end-of-life and thus may expose your system to vulnerabilities or bugs that are not present in newer versions of PHP. It's highly recommended to upgrade any scripts that are not compatible with newer versions of PHP. We do provide PHP 5.2 as a custom opt mod, but keep in mind that it's not supported. You can find instructions on how to install it here:

Thank you.

I removed the reference to that third-party URL because the same instructions are found in the document I referenced in my last post.

Thanks.
