Update PHP version – BlueHost

[AbZu2]

All attempts by my hosting server (Bluehost) to update my current version of PHP is being blocked by BPS Pro.

[Root File Quarantine Logged: 19/10/2016 13:41]
Quarantined Filename: info.php
Quarantine Path: /home3/xxxxx/public_html/wp-content/bps-backup/quarantine/root-files/info.php
Restore Path: /home3/xxxxx/public_html/info.php

Reading the troubleshooting steps it seams that creating a whitelist is the solution. “a whitelist (exclude) rule can be quickly and easily created using BPS Pro Custom Code to allow (whitelist) whatever is being blocked in another Plugin or Theme” Clueless as to what to whitelist or to how go about it. ¿?

Would appreciate information on how to solve this problem. TIA

4. Go to B-Core > htaccess File Editor page > Your Current Root htaccess File tab > copy the BlueHost php/php.ini handler htaccess code that was created at the top of your Root htaccess file by BlueHost.
5. Go to Custom Code > paste your BlueHost php/php.ini handler htaccess code to this Custom Code text box:  CUSTOM CODE TOP PHP/PHP.INI HANDLER/CACHE CODE
6. Click the Save Root Custom Code button.

Lost on:
4. Go to B-Core > htaccess File Editor page > Your Current Root htaccess File tab > copy the BlueHost php/php.ini handler htaccess code that was created at the top of your Root htaccess file by BlueHost.

Am I to copy all of the contents in  Your Current Root htaccess
It begins with:

# Use PHP5.4 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54s .php
# BULLETPROOF PRO 12.4 SECURE .HTACCESS 

# CUSTOM CODE TOP PHP/PHP.INI HANDLER/CACHE CODE
# BEGIN WEBSITE SPEED BOOST
# Time cheat sheet in seconds
# A86400 = 1 day
# A172800 = 2 days
# A2419200 = 1 month
# A4838400 = 2 months
# A29030400 = 1 year

Nope, don’t copy your entire root htaccess file code. Just copy the BlueHost php/php.ini handler code that was added/created at the very top of your Root htaccess file:

# Use PHP5.4 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54s .php

[AbZu2]

Custom Code text box:  CUSTOM CODE TOP PHP/PHP.INI HANDLER/CACHE CODE
begins with:

# BEGIN WEBSITE SPEED BOOST
# Time cheat sheet in seconds
# A86400 = 1 day
# A172800 = 2 days
# A2419200 = 1 month
# A4838400 = 2 months
# A29030400 = 1 year

I assume it is correct to paste the BlueHost php/php.ini handler code (# included) as the first line.

[AITpro Admin]

Yep, correct.  Your BlueHost php/php.ini handler code should be pasted above your Speed Boost Cache code in the CUSTOM CODE TOP PHP/PHP.INI HANDLER/CACHE CODE text box.

Slowly but surely getting to the end of this process. Excuse me for the dumb question, so where do I find the:

9. Run the Pre-Installation and Setup Wizard again.

[AITpro Admin]

Go to the BPS Pro Setup main menu > Setup Wizard submenu.

Success at last. As always, thanks for the excellent support and rapid replies.
