Approximately 10 Minute Process
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Login to Plesk via your Zeniar Portal (Learn How)
2. From the left sidebar, click on Websites & Domains
3. Click on PHP Settings under the Dev Tools column
If you own more than a single domain, select the drop down arrow on the domain you wish to change the PHP settings for first.
4. Click on the drop down menu for the version and select the PHP Handler you require
If a PHP version is marked as (Outdated), we strongly advise against using it, as it may contain security vulnerabilities.
5. Select from the drop down menu how you would like PHP to run. We recommend for best performance to use FastCGI application served by Apache
6. Check to ensure that the rest of your PHP settings have carried over correctly
7. Once you are satisfied with your changes, click on OK or Apply to update your domain.
8. You should see a successful message advising the change has been applied without issues
