[LUG]Re: Php version

 

I think it doesn't

Switched to 8.4 using the select php version
typed php -ver at the terminal

PHP 8.4.26
You would think given the patches have been released, that they would have updated everything properly to protect customers.

If you choose php  8.4 does it take you to 8.4.27 ?

That is the fixed version for the 8.4 train.

Thanks,  I think i have my domain via portfast,  so I think i can get to dns from there, however I have-e no idea how to do what you suggested, sorry. l I am just stuck. 

I have emailed Grant S  who helped set this up,  that is all i can do.

All this is just very very stressful

They appear to have gone out of their way to make themselves as difficult to contact as possible. Even the FAQ has very few actual answers. That would set alarm bells ringing for me.
Are you able to access the DNS? If so, I would suggest putting everything behind CloudFlare, who are blocking malicious requests.

Hi
As I said Grant S set this up and I can't get hold of him,   looks like the hosting company is oceanus or I https://oceanus.hostns.io <https://oceanus.hostns.io>. 

I think the website is here
https://my.oceanichost.com/order/forms/ <https://my.oceanichost.com/ order/forms/> 

I can't figure out how to contact them,

Paul

I would urge them to do this ASAP, and in the meantime you should back all your stuff up. This is literally the biggest vulnerability in the history of PHP

   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

   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
   user@host <#m_-5533009068970156847_NOP> removed for security ~]$
   php -v
   PHP 8.5.11 (cli) (built: Oct 21 2026 00:00:00) (NTS)
   Copyright (c) The PHP Group

   by ionCube Ltd.
       with Zend OPcache v8.5.11, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

   user@host

   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
