Enable PHP 5

From Lunarpages Web Hosting Wiki

Does Lunarpages support PHP 5 hosting?

Yes, our newer Linux-based web hosting shared hosting servers have the capability of running either PHP 4 or PHP 5. To enable PHP 5, you must first login to your hosting account's cPanel.

Next step you will need to take will be to scroll down and look for the icon labeled, "Enable/Disable PHP 5". Click it to continue.

Now, under "Status" it should tell you if PHP 5 has or has not been enabled yet. To enable it, click on "Add PHP 5 To Your Account!".

Warning: If you have any custom .htaccess content, it will no longer work and you will have to re-add the content. The content will be backed up to a timestamped .htaccess file if you required any content from it. If you use FrontPage extensions, they will cease to function as they add content to your .htaccess file which will be renamed.

Now your hosting account will use PHP 5 by default. Some people have noticed that cPanel's "General server information:" does not reflect the change. This is normal, because cPanel reflects the server's default setting and not the individual hosting account's settings.

How can you test it then? You can check to make sure it is installed correctly, by creating a PHP Info file. The PHP Info file WILL show PHP5 if it was enabled correctly. If your server does not offer PHP 5 and you require it, please send a server move request to support@lunarpages.com or put in a Help Desk ticket.
