We are changing the default PHP version on the Magma server from PHP 7.3 to PHP 7.4, please see the details of this upgrade below:
Server: Magma
Date: 10/01/2024
Time: 23:00 GMT
Duration: 5 minutes
The current default PHP 7.3 version is now end-of-life and many software packages such as WordPress now require at least PHP 7.4.
After the upgrade, sites previously using the default PHP 7.3 version will use PHP 7.4.
If your sites use an alternate PHP version then this will stay the same and won’t change.
The upgrade will take no longer than 5 minutes in total, with web services being affected for no more than 60 seconds during this time.
Most sites running the latest versions of software such as WordPress or Joomla shouldn’t experience any issues. If you need to stay on PHP 7.3 or you have issues after the upgrade, please add the following code to a .htaccess file to switch back: 7.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php73 .php
We also support
PHP Version: Htaccess Code:
5.3 AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php
5.6 AddType application/x-httpd-php56 .php
7.4 AddType application/x-httpd-php74 .php
8.0 AddType application/x-httpd-php80 .php
8.1 AddType application/x-httpd-php81 .php
