Under\u00a0PHP Manager<\/strong>\u00a0in cPanel you can change the PHP version\u00a0for the entire hosting account<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0for a specific directory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Below you can read how to set a different PHP version for a specific directory (website) of your hosting account.<\/p>\n

Choosing a PHP Version (FastCGI) for a Specific Directory<\/strong><\/h4>\n

You can enable a different PHP version for a certain directory (website) in two easy steps.<\/p>\n

You first need to access “Set the PHP version for a particular directory” section under PHP Manager\u00a0in cPanel.<\/p>\n

\"Choosing<\/p>\n

From the options there you have to select the PHP version (1<\/strong>) and enter the desired directory (2<\/strong>). Finish the setup by clicking the\u00a0Add<\/strong>\u00a0button (3<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

You need to create an .htaccess file or edit the existing one, located in the same directory. Afterwards, you should add the following lines to the file:<\/p>\n

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>\nAddHandler fcgid-script .php\nFcgidWrapper \/home\/cpuser\/dir\/php.fcgi .php\n<\/IfModule><\/code><\/pre>\n
\/home\/cpuser\/dir\/<\/strong> – replace it with the path to the directory;<\/div>\n
You can copy these lines directly from the PHP manager after adding the system files to the desired directory.<\/p>\n
After saving the changes in the .htaccess file, the selected PHP version will be enabled for the specified directory. You can check the PHP version that is enabled for the directory by placing a PHP file with\u00a0phpinfo()<\/a>.<\/p>\n
After activating the PHP version, the two files – php.fcgi<\/strong> and phpXX-fcgi.ini<\/strong> – will be automatically added to the directory.<\/span> You can use phpXX-fcgi.ini to edit PHP directives.<\/span> In addition, a separate phpXX.ini configuration file is created, which is used only to manage PHP modules.<\/span> This file can be found in the hosting account, in the directory:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\/home\/cpaneluser\/.sh.phpmanager\/phpXX<\/strong>.d<\/p>\n
phpXX<\/strong> – replace with the version of PHP<\/span><\/span>;<\/p>\n
Important<\/strong>: If there is an already existing .htaccess file that contains a line for PHP version setup such as AddHandler x-httpd-phpXX .php, you will have to remove it.<\/div>\n
