How to Maintain Multiple PHP Execution Engines

BoostonCP supports multiple simultaneous PHP versions. Follow this manual to manage the global PHP pool on your server.

Step 1: Open the PHP Hub

Navigate to PHP Settings in the Admin Panel sidebar.

Step 2: Auditing Active Versions

The main ledger displays all PHP versions currently installed (e.g., 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3). For each version, you can monitor the Service Heartbeat. Ensure the status is RUNNING.

Step 3: Installing a New Version

  1. If a version is missing, navigate to the App Store.
  2. Install the required PHP version (e.g., PHP 8.4).
  3. Once installed, it will automatically appear in the PHP Settings ledger for configuration.
