PHP Update with OVH

[Hayo Gebauer]

this might be a little bit off-topic:

Is anyone using OVH for there website?
I am having trouble upgrading the PHP in order to update to a newer version of Wordpress.
I did set the php to 7.0 in the OVH user panel, but the wordpress panel tells me I am still using 5.4 and thus am unable to update.

Anyone else have this issue?

Is there any way to contact OVH?
Looks like an error on the hoster’s end to me.

@edgrbnz I'll try that

Just for anyone reading this, I solved the problem, got a walkthrough from OVH, had to adjust the read/write rights of a specific file in my ftp root directory.

Hi @Hayo-Gebauer , i just encountered the same problem as yours and i just spent all the day trying to solve it and i found your post here,
How did you solved the problem? i did all the upgrading but wordpress doesn't recognize them.

Many thanks in advance for your help

@Filippo hey, I called customer service (in this case OVH) they gave me a step by step guide on what to edit (over the phone) so I can't recall what it was, best you call your provider
