Hi There,

I am trying to change the default php version from 4 to 5 in one of my virtual server, but after I had saved the change (sucessfuly), I access again the very same option and it still showing me that the default php version is 4.

On the other hand, If I try to change the default php version to 5 at the Server Templates Option I get an error message saying:  
"Failed to save server template : Missing or invalid Apache user"

Any idea on how to fix it?

BTW, is there any option where I could disable/uninstall completely the php4 in my entire server / settings?

Thank you,\<br\>\<br\>Post edited by: Renato, at: 2007/09/13 05:39

Ok,

If you have the same problem,  
(according to Jamie it is a bug and will  
be fixed in the next release)…

You have to access /etc/apache2/sites-availables  
and look for \<yourdomain\>.conf file

change the line:  
FCGIWrapper /home/\<your usename\>/fcgi-bin/php4.fcgi .php

to:  
FCGIWrapper /home/\<your usename\>/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php
