I have two virtual servers that I need to revert back to PHP 5.4 and can’t get them to change. They are existing servers. I can create a server with version 5.4, but I can’t change it once it is created.I have tried Server Configuration -> PHP Versions several times, but it changes nothing. Running …

Got it. When these virtual servers were added, we had a problem where only the home page showed up. Any links produced an nginx error. We solved it by changing the location line in the nginx config file and adding the following: fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$; Now I have no idea what it doe…

For the existing virtual servers, if you change PHP script execution mode from FPM to FCGId via Virtualmin | Server Configuration | Website Options, you might be able to select PHP 5.4 via Virtualmin | Server Configuration | PHP Versions

Well, that got it to change, but it went in the wrong direction. It is now defaulting to 7.3.

Thank you for trying to help me, however, please note that I am not really clear on a lot of this. For instance, what does CLI version of PHP mean? I just need the website on these servers to use PHP 5.4.

Ok, let’s try again. You have stated that after you changed PHP script execution mode from FPM to FCGId, you were able to select 5.4 as the version of PHP for your virtual servers. You also reported that your action of specifying 5.4 is being ‘ignored’. Can you tell us how you know this? How exactl…

I am running a file with the phpinfo() function in it. I run it on the individual virtual servers to tell what version it is using.

Also of note is there is no directory specified on the PHP Versions page. It is blank.

I see this on Virtualmin | Server Configuration | PHP Versions: [virtualmin-select-php-version] Is your screen any different from this?
