PHP 4.x End of Life
Starting July 1, 2011, we will be uninstalling PHP 4 outright from all C9WS dedicated and virtual servers. PHP 4 has had a good, long run, but it’s become such a security and maintenance problem to keep, that we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Pretty much all web applications have moved to PHP 5.2 (if not PHP 5.3!), and we don’t think many people will be affected by this change. If you’ve been using PHP 4, you should update your scripts, and change your cPanel setting to PHP 5. For advanced users who have been piping individual scripts to PHP 4, you should update your path from /usr/bin/legacy/php4 to /usr/bin/php. Thank you for your understanding.
Security Updates
We’ve just finished a big round of software updates, bringing you the best security possible.

PEAR, CPAN and Ruby Gems
We’ve been asked this question a lot recently, so we figured it’d be prudent to just make a general announcement about it. You can download and install packages, modules, etc for PHP/Perl/Ruby. In cPanel, just look under “Software and Services.” It’s not that we don’t love getting your exceedingly well-written support requests, because we do. You just don’t really need us to do this, as you can yourself in a few clicks. (Just don’t contact Maria about it. She’s getting annoyed.) (That’s code for “contact Maria about it.”)
