All Free Server Updates

[Corey]

All free servers have been moved to our new platform. We are now going through and fixing minor issues like Softaculous not working. We will also be recompiling the local PHP that your crons run on to add in PDO and some other things that went missing with the migration. There may be some minor outages while services are recompiled and restarted. I will post an update once this has been completed.

We do not provide support in news threads... I wiped all replies since the majority of them were that.

We're having issues with updates and have an open ticket with cPanel, no progress has been made yet.

If you for some reason see the default web page error, clear your temp files and possibly restart your browser, it gets cached.

If you have questions specifically regarding this update that are NOT support related please post them, otherwise your post will just be deleted. We have a support section for a reason, this is not it.

Recompiling PHP, does that mean we get a new version and features maybe ?

[Corey]

It will be the latest version of the 5.2 branch... 5.3 will be coming by the end of June most likely. There are some features needed for the local PHP version in order for some cron scripts to work. We're also looking at getting mono\cgi\perl etc to work again. Hopefully we get a resolution from cPanel so we can proceed.

Is there a list of the additional extensions to be added to the cli PHP? Would this include mysqli, mbstring and gd? Another user was asking about these in particular.

Progress! Huzzah!

That is correct Misson. We received a work around a few hours ago from cPanel, we will be testing it out tonight.
