I am going to look to manually upgrade their php 5.2.9 to 5.2.17 after I get their PHP installer correctly installing php and FastCGI. The server is a Windows 2003 R2 server so I can not use the PHP manager for IIS7 as I run IIS6.
I’ve also used Ke圜DN’s Cache Enabler plugin with Bluehost and another host setup the same way so I can vouch for it as useful with Bluehost in the past. I confirmed that the control manager software can only support 5.2 from 5.2.9 to the current 5.2.17. W3 Total Cache would be my choice if you don’t have one already.
Hope something here helps and Bluehost has an answer for you.īTW: You probably should run a cache plugin with Bluehost to get a little better, ‘fine control’ on that Nginx proxy running out front. And weve had enough Who will impacted What can you do if your PHP is less than v5.4 Isnt this a little unfair WordPress supports PHP 5.2 Questions/. Here’s how I run WordPress installed in a subdirectory as if it was in the webroot. Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.2.4: Fixed a floating point exception inside wordwrap () (Reported by Mattias Bengtsson) Fixed several integer overflows inside the GD extension (Reported by Mattias Bengtsson) Fixed size calculation in chunksplit () (Reported by Gerhard Wagner) Fixed integer overflow in str cspn (). Maybe I have that backwards even as I see you’ve tried the root domain without the subdirectory. I’m also a little stumped by the URL there with the subdirectory and I’m wondering if that might be contributing to the problem… maybe you have the later PHP for the root directory but somehow wound up with the older PHP in that subdirectory somehow. But with 5.2.4 Apache starts without error, but every request to the server (whether to a PHP or HTML page) results in a blank page in the browser, and a '302' (redirect) rather than a '200' response in the log. We recommend Apache or Nginx as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. 01:42 UTC php at transpect dot com Description: - Apache 2.2.6 with php 5.2.3s libphp5.so works fine. MySQL version 5.7 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.2 or greater. Time to ask your host (Bluehost I think) for help with this one. To run WordPress we recommend your host supports: PHP version 7.4 or greater.
