XF 2.0 Installing on subdomain (problem with PHP version)

[KhanTastic]

Dear friends,

I have version XF 2.0.5 and like to install on my subdomain, because main main domain has wordpress site & I have PHP version PHP 7.4 for that, now I am installing my XF forum on subdomain, the installation does not work because I have PHP 7.4 on main domain. When I change the PHP 7.4 then installation works fine but I do not want to lose my PHP version for main site, then how i can install XF on the subdomain which requires lower PHP version than PHP 7.4.

Appreciate your help.

Best regards,
Cheers

Set a different PHP version for each domain.

Easy to do if you have the multi php manager in cPanel.

Otherwise contact your host if you aren't sure how to do it.

I know in cPanel how to change PHP version but my cPanel shows only main domain like mydomain.com and does not show the subdomain there

You can extract the PHP handler information from the .htaccess file which cPanel writes to, and manually add that the .htaccess file in the new folder / subdomain folder.

It's in the file, you can view it through the cPanel file manager, or download a copy and view it locally.

It will look something like this:

# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php73” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
  AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php73___lsphp .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

Yes I placed the following codes in my .htaccess file and it worked Thanks a lot

<IfModule mime_module>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php72 .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
