How to Re-calibrate Your Execution Environment

BoostonCP allows you to change your web server and PHP version instantly without manual configuration file editing.

Changing the PHP Version

  1. Find your domain in the website list and click the Settings (Gear) Icon.
  2. Go to the "PHP Version" tab.
  3. Select your target version from the dropdown (e.g., switching from 7.4 to 8.3).
  4. Click "Update PHP Version". The system will reload the FPM socket instantly.

Switching Web Servers (Nginx <-> Apache)

  1. Inside the domain settings modal, navigate to the "Webserver" tab.
  2. Select the new engine.
  3. Click "Switch Engine". BoostonCP will automatically migrate your VHost logic and restart the required services.
MANUAL TIP: If you switch to Apache, ensure your .htaccess files are present in the document root for custom routing rules to take effect.
