A practical Online Audience guide covering how to change php version in stackcp.

Overview

This Online Audience guide explains how to change php version in stackcp for customers using StackCP. It is written for beginners and focuses on safe, practical steps you can follow before opening a support ticket.

Before you start

Make sure you have the correct login details and know which service you are working on. Use the Client Area, cPanel, EU cPanel, SonicPanel and AzuraCast links in the main menu when you need to access your service.

Steps

• Log in to your StackCP account using the details supplied for your hosting service.
• Open the section named in this guide.
• Select the correct domain before changing settings.
• Save your changes and test the website or email service.

Good practice

Take a screenshot before changing settings, copy any existing values, and test the service after each change. Avoid deleting files, DNS records, email accounts or databases unless you are sure they are no longer needed.

When to contact support

Contact Online Audience support if you see an error message, cannot access the panel, are unsure which server you are on, or the change could affect a live website, email service or radio stream.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Do not change several settings at once without taking notes.
• Do not share passwords or private keys in screenshots.
• Do not delete files, mailboxes, playlists, databases or users unless you have a backup and understand the result.

When to contact Online Audience
