Notes

  • On Ecenica Cloud Servers with CloudLinux all domains will be set to inherited PHP Version by default. This ensures Select PHP Version is the main control of your account PHP version, extensions and settings.
  • On Ecenica Cloud Servers with CloudLinux we strongly recommend selecting a alt-php version. E.g. alt-php74 from the drop-down selector. This ensures the PHP version you are running loads the extensions and settings you’ve set in Select PHP Version for your account.
