[LUG]Re: Php version

[zleap via list <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks,  

In my control panel I can choose between versions with a point release so for this 8.4, 8.5.  So not 8.5.11, 8.5.12

It looks like they have updated something as I said it is 8.5.11 currently, so I can wait a little longer.

I am not sure what the correct terminology is for everything. e.g 8.5.11 and 8.5.12 

I will check what version they are running again tomorrow and see if it has changed.

Thanks,

Paul

No, 8.5.12 is the patched version (but yes, that's the correct way to check).

Check in your hosting panel if that version is available, and if it isn't get on to your hosting provider ASAP

Hi

Given the current issue with php, I logged in to my hosting control panel,

If I goto terminal 

Last login: Thu Oct 22 07:54:37 BST 2026

So according to that I am running 8.5.11, am I correct in thinking that

a) this is the correct way to check?

b) 8.5.11 is the updated patched version

c) it is safe to take my site (at least) out of maintenance mode? I recently updated my site to Grav2 which requires the server to be running 8.3 or above

Thanks,

Paul
