Installing a 5.7 development account with 5.6 live account: Bluehost & Concrete5 disagree

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi all -

I'm trying to set up a development account for my concrete5.7.3.1. I am live and running with a concrete5.6.3.3 account. When I try to launch the installation program by typing the appropriate url, I get a "concrete5 requires PHP 5.3.3+ to run" error. However, when I check the version of PHP that I'm running through Bluehost's cPanel, I get that I'm running PHP 5.4.24. If anyone has any experience resolving this type of issue I'd greatly appreciate it. I tried to simply comment out the offending code (in configure.php, opening if statement) to no avail.

Thanks for your attention to this. - Rob

The install script does a check in /concrete/controllers/install.php this might be what you're seeing instead of the error in configure.php.

I would create a file called test.php and add the following code to it:
<?php
phpinfo();


Then I would visit that page and see what version of PHP it really thinks you are running.

Thanks! I took this information and yes, the Bluehost cPanel misidentified the version. So, I went into the PHP config and updated to the CGIfast mode. Hopefully, not only will this enable my concrete5 7.3.1 installation, but it should also enable my webpages to load more quickly. Gracias!
