smec is there any way you can do just php 5.5 here is why.

oxwall runs fine on php 5.5

oxwall run intermittent (so so) on 5.6

oxwall on php 7 not tested

i think if you can get just php 5.5 you should be ok.

Hey there, smec. Got your PM. Kind of playing catch up here. I won't call myself an expert on running Oxwall on Bluehost but hopefully my past experiences can help a bit here. Ross and Dave can walk you through the more server-specific requirements, but here's what you need to get things running on Bluehost (assuming you have the right hardware/software):

First, you're correct. Bluehost only offers PHP 5.4 and a beta version of PHP 5.6. It's not ideal at the moment for Oxwall. Also, if you set your server to PHP 5.6 in PHP Config, the changes do not actually take place on your server. Don't ask me why, I'm not 100% certain. Instead, you need to add handlers to your .htaccess file.

Here's the Bluehost help article about this.

So in your .htaccess file, add the following lines of code and this will update your server to PHP 5.6:

# Use PHP5.6 as default

AddHandler application/x-httpd-phpbeta .php

This will properly set your server to PHP 5.6 on Bluehost.

----

Cron Job

Saw a lot in here about cron jobs. Not sure if this has been resolved yet, but if you go to Cron Jobs directly from your cPanel, you can set it up like so (see screenshot for details):

wget -q -O /dev/null http://www.yoursiteurl.com/ow_cron/run.php

Hopefully these items help you on your way!

No worries. I'm not of you or Ross caliber when it comes to troubleshooting but I'm starting to get PMs on Bluehost hosting stuff, so lending a hand where I can. Hopefully we'll create enough posts/resources on the forums so fellow Bluehost folks can get these issues resolved. The whole PHP 5.6 .htaccess handler thing is really tripping people up.

Please look at is what the choices I made good?

1* PHP 5.6 [Beta, check site functionality for compatibility after enabling]
All files with the extension .php will be handled by the PHP 5.6 engine.
Latest version of PHP.

2** PHP 5.6 (Single php.ini) [Beta, check site functionality for compatibility after enabling]
Same as PHP 5.6, but all subdirectories will use ~/public_html/php.ini

3*** PHP 5.6 (FastCGI) [Beta, check site functionality for compatibility after enabling]
All files with the extension .php will be handled by PHP 5.6 FastCGI processes.
FastCGI for PHP makes all your PHP applications run through mod_fastcgi instead of mod_suphp. This eliminates the overhead of loading the PHP interpreter on every hit. Since it is always in memory ready for the next hit, the responses will be generated faster.

You'll need the first choice, PHP 5.6 Beta. I experimented with PHP 5.6 Single php.ini and PHP 5.6 Fast CGI, but they do not work with Oxwall 1.8.3. But you have to make the choice via your .htaccess file with PHP handlers, not PHP Config. See my previous post for details.

yes I saw that when I change the php config that the .htaccess file also changes.and I saw the suport of bluehost do it for me a few days ago.

and now when i change my php config i have this change in my .htaccess here :

# Use PHPBETA as default

AddHandler application/x-httpd-phpbeta .php

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I do not know if I'm good or not by adding the following .htaccess file after changing the file.

to get this

# Use PHPBETA as default AddHandler application/x-httpd-phpbeta .php

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress

# For security reasons, Option followsymlinks cannot be overridden.

#Options +FollowSymLinks Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch RewriteEngine On AddEncoding gzip .gz AddEncoding gzip .gzip <FilesMatch "\.(js.gz|js.gzip)$"> ForceType text/javascript </FilesMatch>

<FilesMatch "\.(css.gz|css.gzip)$"> ForceType text/css </FilesMatch>

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index\.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_cron/run\.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/e500\.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/captcha\.php

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]

RewriteRule (.*) index.php

smec, that should be OK in theory. If there are any other server configuration issues (see Ross and Dave's posts), then you may still have a few issues unrelated to PHP version.

Also, note that anytime you update Oxwall, it'll rewrite your .htaccess file. This means that those handlers may be erased. So when updating, set your .htaccess permissions to 404 so it's not overwritten, then make updates manually to it if needed.

Let me know if this makes sense and I can go into detail if need be.

How're things looking right now?
