I want to learn laravel 4 and find starter kit using github that combine many class from others plus twitter bootstrap.
As traits available on php 5.4 I decide to find a host that support that version. As I have account on Bluehost I decide to try it. Bluehost provide php 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. By default you’ll see php 5.2 but you can enable other version. Here’s how to do that :
1. Login to bluehost cpanel
2. Find PHP Config
The option under Software/Services
Choose PHP 5.4 (single php.ini) and click save settings.
3. Try login via ssh
ssh access not provided by default. You need to request it first via support.
PHP cli will follow the setting. Here’s my login before change the version :
Using username “myacc”.
