When I click the "Enable/Disable PHP 5" option in cPanel it says "PHP 5 is Installed!" but PHPinfo says it's still Version 4.4.9.
Server dacat.
Any idea what's happening?

cPanel will never show the change in the server settings.  This tutorial should help shed a little more light on the topic:

Hope that helps!

Hi Mitch
thanks for your fast reply. In fact, I was already looking at the phpinfo() output, having previously created the phpinfo.php file, and that still says 4.4.9.
Do you know if PHP 5 is available on this server?
regards

Could be that something in your .htaccess file is causing the error.  I'd suggest you drop in a support ticket to support.lunarpages.com and let them know you have enabled PHP5 via the cPanel control panel, and your still having issues.

The first thing to do is to try "disabling" PHP 5 with the button, and then re-enabling it. Sometimes that will clear it up. Your .htaccess should show something like
Code:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
after you enable PHP 5 -- did it get updated? Your .htaccess is 644 permissions (not 444)? There are no other handlers in your .htaccess defined to handle PHP files?

If all this fails to get PHP 5 working (according to phpinfo), open a support ticket.

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions and help.

MrPhil, that fixed it.  Smiling
I should've thought of that but there you go...

cheers
