I am hosting several websites on Godaddy. (probably my first mistake)
My main website has a .htaccess file which blocks all TOR exit nodes, because it's been subject to alot of abuse from TOR users.
The second site is in its own folder and has its own domain. It has its own .htaccess file. It NEEDS this, because it is codeigniter based, and needs the data in the file for the URLs to work the way I need them to.
That said, if I use phpinfo() on the main domain, it shows php5.4, but when I use it on the codeigniter based site, which is one level down, it shows php5.2.17. I need the codeigniter site to use 5.3+, because I need to be able to do some work with DateTime methods which aren't otherwise available.
Anyway, after 3 phone calls and 2 hours of hold time, Godaddy tech support disabled the .htaccess files for both folders, and voila, codeigniter site was finally showing php5.4
I have tried having one enabled, the other disabled, and vise-versa, but the inner folder only has the correct php with both disabled. This is problematic, because I need both to be working. I will post both .htaccess files, hoping someone here can help me sort this out.
