- DirectAdmin: Go to https://da01.unifiedns.io:2222
- Enter your login details from your welcome email.
Step 2: Find the PHP Selector
- In cPanel:
- Scroll down to the Software section.
- Click Select PHP Version or MultiPHP Manager.
- In DirectAdmin:
- Go to Extra Features → Select PHP Version.
- Alternatively, under Domain Setup, you may find PHP version options.
Step 3: Choose Your PHP Version
- Select the domain you want to change (if applicable).
- Pick the PHP version from the dropdown menu (e.g., 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2).
- Click Save / Apply.
Step 4: Adjust PHP Extensions (Optional)
- You can also enable/disable PHP extensions like
mysqli
,mbstring
, orgd
. - Tick/untick the boxes depending on your website’s needs.
- Click Save once you’ve made your changes.
Step 5: Test Your Website
- Refresh your website to make sure it’s working properly.
- If you see errors, try switching back to the previous PHP version.
Troubleshooting
- Website breaks after change? → Your CMS or script may not support the PHP version you selected. Try switching back.
- Extensions missing? → Enable them in the PHP selector.
- Not sure which version to use? → Most modern apps work best on PHP 8.1 or 8.2.
