Michael D. Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 We've got it installed, but we're wrestling with making it work correctly, once configured it's supposed to "just work" but it doesn't seem to be the case. Anybody wanting the nitty gritty details can look at http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=4894 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 This has been perfected and will be rolled out to all servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotalZen Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Are you saying everyone on shared will now be forced to use 5.3 then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael D. Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 No, it defaults to 5.2 and you can optionally choose 5.3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael D. Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 *Like*Just documenting the installation steps so that it can be automated and then it will be fully rolled out. I expect no longer than 2 hours. Once this is done I will make a KB article on how to choose 5.3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarkko Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I guess this means for me that "if it isn't broken, don't fix it", my sites are running stable so no need for 5.3, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHP 5.3 is faster and more efficient so you may check to see if your scripts are compatible. you could also try the "shotgun" method of simply changing to 5.3 and seeing if anything quits working as it's easy to switch back and forth.

Everything seems to have gone smooth on my account with this. To Jarkko, many of the advantages of the PHP 5.3 are in the coding backend with some new shortcuts, defining constants anywhere, namespaces, etc.. But there are also hosting advantages with better INI support which can now be user or directory specific. I think some of the syntax and setup has changed from how it was handled. I've skimmed over some details but I'm sure Mike knows about these things or is learning with the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarkko Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Thank for the info Mike and Snakeyez. I switched one of the sites to 5.3 via .htaccess but cpanel still shows that it is running PHP 5.2.14..
