We continued last weekend’s maintenance this weekend, and as a result the latest iterations of PHP versions 7.3, 7.4 and 8.0 have been installed on server NC041. This means that you can log into your account in the server’s control panel to upgrade your version of PHP to the version of your choice. We do recommend that you upgrade to the latest version (8.0.7), but it’s possible that your web application may have different requirements. If you have trouble with PHP 8, we suggest downgrading incrementally until you’re running a version that works for you. If you can’t run 8.0, you’re welcome to contact us if you think the issue is on our server, but generally you will need to contact the provider of the web application.
To effect the upgrade for a single website, please follow these instructions:
- Log into the control panel.
- If you have more than one website, select the domain from the drop-down list in the top, left-hand corner.
- Navigate to Server Configuration -> PHP Options.
- Leaving other PHP options as they are already set, click the drop-down list of PHP versions to the right of “Default HTML directory”.
- Select the latest version (highest number) from the drop-down list. (This is also where you would select any other version if you so wish.)
- Click the “Save” button underneath “PHP information”.
- Let the following page load, and you’re done!
If you have any issues successfully carrying this out, please contact NinerNet support, and we will assist.
Thank-you.
