concrete5 requires PHP 5.5.9+ to run. You are running PHP 5.3.29

Hi,

I've had my site running for the past couple of years, and suddenly viewed it today and saw the above error:

"concrete5 requires PHP 5.5.9+ to run. You are running PHP 5.3.29 "

Is there a simple solution to get things back to normal? Thanks.

I doubt you can get PHP 5.5.9 as an option on your server but you should be able to get PHP 5.6.40 running.
Ask your server tech guys to switch your PHP version to 5.6.40.

If you're using a newer version of C5 (such as 5.7+), you may want to see if you can get at least PHP 7.0 or newer. I have multiple C5 sites running on PHP 7.3 and they perform very well.
