Can php only be installed in a linux hosting package? I have a Windows hosting package, and php doesn’t come up at all in the add-on languages.

thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. i was beginning to believe godaddy was so incredibly barbaric that they hadn’t yet upgrade to PHP5. the interface to change 4 -> 5 is not where i thought it’d be and the rule in the .htaccess sealed the deal. thanks so much.

Wow thanks for the help. I was about to go crazy trying to enable php5, godaddys help files seem to fail. Thanks again.

HI One wrinkle: In Godddy Account manager go into ‘Add Applications’ option and click php5 box to enable it to recognize both php4 and php5 extenions you have already had set up.

thanks for the info!

Thanks! I was trying to get the Drupal Backup & Migrate module going and got the long error ending in “…/destinations.s3.inc on line 24″

Googled that, got “only supports PHP5″ from the developer reply to a similar bug. So yup, now I’ve used your good instructions!
Thanks! -John Pfeiffer

didn’t really work for me, maybe I need to wait longer but after an hour, I expected it to be done. What didn’t seem to work was when I went into the file extention i see php4 and php 5. I clicked the custom then back to default, clicked edit and clicked ok. then back to custom and nothing. It did do a popup saying it was saved but I havn’t seen the chang in my Joomla system info. I’m tired and have to get some mass effect2 going so maybe in the morning it’ll work. Strange things w/ godaddy. I miss the days of Blue Domino….
