After upgraded to php 5 via cpanel php does not work at all.

« on: November 10, 2007, 04:08:44 PM »

Awhile back the "Enable/Disable PHP 5" option appeared in my control pannel.
Today I used it to switch to PHP5

As advertised it saved by old htaccess file by renaming it and created a new one with the following code

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

That problem is that instead of upgrading me to php 5 php is completely broken.

No php files are executed. Instead they browser is offered the opportunity to download the php file many of which contain database passwords!

So I went back to "Enable/Disable PHP 5" and switched back to php 4.

PHP still doesn't work!

Right now I am scrambling to remove all the php files that contain passwords.

Can someone help!

PS I filled out a support ticket

Add the line

Code:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

instead of

Code:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

to your .htaccess file or in cPanel -> Apache Handlers and it works with PHP 5. Wink

I'm having this same problem. I tried what Benny suggested but it didn't work. LunarPages Support is taking too damn long to respond. Anyone have any other suggestions?

UPDATE: Tech support fixed it by making a blank .htaccess and filling it with:

Code:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml

Everything works now. Phew...

Just thought I would add... The AddType setting should not be used.. only the AddHandler line. An Apache handler would be required to run PHP 5 on the server. Mime types are used to tell the browser how to handle files client-side, so would be useless for PHP (since PHP is a server-side language). Generally, Apache handlers would be used for files that are to be handled server-side, while Mime types would be used to handle files that are to be handled client-side.
