Set the PHP Version for a Specific Directory

How can you define the PHP version on a single directory?

In order to define a specific PHP version, the desired PHP version must be available on your hosting package. To check the PHP versions of our hosting packages, click this link and check the details of your package.

Instructions:

Via NetConfig
Via FTP

You can define the desired PHP version individually for each directory.

To do this, create or edit the .htaccess file in the corresponding directory and add the following line, depending on the desired PHP version:

PHP Version 8.2:
FCGIWrapper /home/httpd/phpwrapper/php82-fcgiplus .php

PHP Version 8.1:
FCGIWrapper /home/httpd/phpwrapper/php81-fcgiplus .php

PHP Version 8.0:
FCGIWrapper /home/httpd/phpwrapper/php80-fcgiplus .php

PHP Version 7.4:
FCGIWrapper /home/httpd/phpwrapper/php74-fcgiplus .php

PHP Version 7.3:
FCGIWrapper /home/httpd/phpwrapper/php73-fcgiplus .php

PHP Version 7.2:
FCGIWrapper /home/httpd/phpwrapper/php72-fcgiplus .php

PHP Version 7.1:
FCGIWrapper /home/httpd/phpwrapper/php71-fcgiplus .php

PHP Version 7.0:
FCGIWrapper /home/httpd/phpwrapper/php70-fcgiplus .php

PHP Version 5.6:
FCGIWrapper /home/httpd/phpwrapper/php56-fcgiplus .php
