DirectAdmin PHP Selector

DirectAdmin often provides a PHP Selector in the control panel that allows you to change PHP versions without rebooting the server.

  1. Log in to DirectAdmin at https://vda1600.is.cc:2222
  2. Look for 'PHP Version' or 'PHP Selector' in the control panel
  3. Select PHP 8.2 or the highest available version
  4. Apply the changes

.htaccess PHP Version Control

You can try to set the PHP version using .htaccess:

# For Apache with mod_php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php82 .php

# For Apache with mod_fcgid
AddHandler fcgid-script .php
FcgidWrapper /opt/alt/php82/usr/bin/php-cgi .php

# For Apache with mod_proxy_fcgi

SetHandler "proxy:unix:/opt/alt/php82/usr/var/run/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"


# For Apache with mod_suphp

suPHP_ConfigPath /opt/alt/php82/etc/php.ini

Creating Test .htaccess File

✅ Test .htaccess file created.

Creating PHP Version Test File

✅ PHP test file created at /php_test.php.

Conclusion

In most cases, you don't need to reboot the server to change PHP versions. Instead:

  1. Use DirectAdmin's PHP Selector if available
  2. Configure .htaccess to specify the PHP version
  3. Check if the changes take effect by visiting /php_test.php

If these methods don't work, contact InterServer support to help you enable PHP 8.2 for your account.
