[wp-hackers] Lunarpages PHP5 Discussion

[Matt Patenaude]

Actually, (dv) users do have a PHP 5 option, and it's relatively  
simple to setup on a per-domain basis -- just create a copy of the  
FastCGI binary, and add a few vhost.conf entries (kind of like  
the .htaccess config options). It isn't exactly user-friendly, but if  
you feel you need a dedicated server, you probably know a thing or  
two about setting things up yourself. ;)

Personally, I just downloaded my own version of PHP 5 with Yum,  
because I wanted a newer version that was more easily updated (which  
is another easy option to getting PHP 5 on a (dv)).
