Windows Server Question
 

Is anyone here familiar with windows server? I do not suppose I can use a local php.ini to pick a installed version of php for a forum directory?

Asked the host to switch it and they said this:
PHP 5.4 is already loaded on your server. They would just need to set vbulltin to that version. Here is the path to that version: C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.4

I don't know what your question is to be honest?
I assume you mean the php.ini file?
Are you asking if you can have a php version for a selected folder on the server? If so, then yes, you can do that.

Yes I mean the php.ini but I am talking about placing one locally inside the forum directory so just the forum would use php5.4..

I do not have access to the server to change the config.

Windows does not use htaccess.. Otherwise I would just use it to use the correct version of php.

In the past 10 or 15 years i have worked on Windows server maybe 5 times.

Thanks

This will work on Windows server?

No, as IfModule and VirtualHost are apache configs.
You probably need to use web.config

Yeah but need to access the server for that via remote and I cannot do that. I hate windows server.

Not sure if it's possible, but take a look at this: https://www.iis.net/learn/applicatio...is-7-and-above

Yeah Dave, Thanks. I cannot do that because I do not have access. The host is telling me I need to change a setting in Vbulletin to point to the other version of php..... That is news to me. lol

Thanks buddy

That's a bit unusual... the website software controlling with PHP version is used... never heard of that before. As far as I know it's only possible the other way around.

Yeah, they changed it. They had to change the php.ini only I did not have root access and they kept saying we had to change Vbulletin to point to the other version.. I thought maybe I could do so with htaccess but not a windows server.

All good now though.

Thanks much,
Rich

Time to find a new host, they dont seem to have a clue how things work .....
