在OVH上更改php版本

Question

My problem is that i need to change the version of php from 4.4.9 to 5.5 on an remote server on http://www.ovh.com/

But i can't seem to be able to achieve this goal!

I have tried the recommended steps http://www.ovh.com/fr/g1207.configurer-php-web

And included the following .ovhconfig file:

app.engine=php
app.engine.version=5.5
http.firewall=none
environment=production

But when i check by phpinfo() or the command php -v, it says that i am using the php version 4.4.9

![enter image description here][1]

I am trying to run a Symfony application, which is not possible with a php of version lower than 5.3

How do i fix this problem ?

You have to create a .htaccess file in /www/ and write into :

SetEnv PHP_VER 5.5
SetEnv REGISTER_GLOBALS 0
Header set cache-control "no-cache"

There is a .ovhconfig file (or create it) in the root of your FTP (before /www/) and write into :

app.engine=phpcgi
app.engine.version=auto

http.firewall=none
environment=development

Then go to the manager (v3 preferably because I'm not sure the function is available in the new interface yet) > Hébergement > Gestion de l'Accélérateur Géocache > Appuyer sur Valider pour vider le cache. (More explications here)

If this doesn't work, you should contact the OVH technical service.
