PHP version
If your server has multiple versions of PHP installed, you can switch the version your website uses at any time.
- At the website management dashboard >
Utilities
section > Select theUpdate PHP Version
box - Select the PHP version and click the
Update
button
WARNING
When switching the version your website is using, you should ensure that:
My server has all additional PHP extensions/modules installed for that version. Failure to install additional modules can make your website unresponsive.
You will also need to update your site's deployment script to reload the correct PHP-FPM version and call the correct PHP version when running any PHP commands.
