With eNom's Web Hosting you have the ability to mix and match php4 and php5, as well as asp.Net 1.1 and 2.0 You can do this on a per host header basis, meaning each domain that points to a phyiscally different folder on the server can have a different version associated to it. You can even create you own custom php.ini file for each seperate version (covered in a different weHow for clarity)

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Internet access
  • Enom Web hosting account

Step1
Login to the hosting control panel using your hosting account name and the password you chose at purchase. URL is http://webhosting.enom.com
Step2
Click on the Advanced Menu Item.
Step3
The IIS Settings sub tab will be selected. You should now see a listing of all of the seperate "Site Pointer" host header sites you have. Each one of these can be individually set and mix and matched for different versions of each php and .Net
Step4
Click on the "Mangage" link for the site you would like to change.
Step5
You will notice now that the tabs on top have been activated. Click on the "Site Info" tab
Step6
Here you can select the version of PHP and ASP.NET that you would like to use. Once you hit submit the changes take effect instantly.

Congratulations - You are all done!

Tips & Warnings

  • If you are running PHP4, do not use MySQL5, and if you are using PHP5 do not use PHP4 - each version of MySQL uses different responses to PHP code that is not correctly interpreted by the other language. Even if your code is correct it will generate a connection error since php doesnt know how to interpret the response correctly.
