    PHP version incompatibility with Hostgator

    Hi folks,

    I finally made it to the initial install step and when I put in my customer member, I get this message:

    "
    Due to the following errors, the install/upgrade can not continue:
    • vBulletin 5 requires PHP version 5.3.0 or greater. Your PHP is version 5.2.17, please ask your host to upgrade."
    I am using hostgator because many members have had a good experience with them, so I assume this must be an issue with my configuration rather than Hostgator. Any insight or advice would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Add to your .htaccess file the following two lines:

    # Use PHP 5.3
    AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php


    vB5 is unequivocally the best forum software, but not yet...

        No specific place for it.
        Put it to the end.
