Hi there,

I love DirectAdmin and have been using it for around 3 years now.

We have a managed VPS by quite a big hosting provider. We use DirectAdmin / Squirrelmail.

We want to upgrade PHP 5.3 to PHP 5.4, but our hosting provider says: 'we cannot support it on our managed servers til they say it's stable'.

Is that true? And when will there be a stable version of DirectAdmin for PHP 5.4?

Thanks!

The only issue for 5.4 is that there is no zend guard (zend optimizer) for it but it has nothing to do with directadmin

Yes, it works under PHP 5.4, but the provider says it's still not an official 'stable' release? There are a few issues left with the DA (2.0) script itself and apache configurations?
 
Your hosting provider are idiots. Php 5.4 is already stable. Many hosting providers already use it.

It's not about PHP 5.4, it's about DirectAdmin which should work under PHP 5.4.

Our hosting provider says: It's not possible to upgrade to PHP 5.4 because DirectAdmin has no official stable release for PHP 5.4 yet.

That is not correct, your hosting provider is wrong. PHP 5.4.x in DirectAdmin is stable. You can upgrade to PHP 5.4.x in custombuild 1.2.x
 
Yes, 5.4 could be stable, but I think it will be a while before they upgrade it. Because that is not something they can do without letting the users prepare. PHP Change can affect customers's websites since there are always changes.

If your hosting provider won't do it, then do it yourself, or hire someone to do it for you.

Custombuild 1.2 and 2.0 should both support php 5.4

If you want to change its not really rocket science.

Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set custombuild 1.2
./build set php5_ver 5.4
./build update
./build clean
./build php d

I really wouldnt recommend php 5.4 though for production server. There are too many removed php functions and many scripts dont run on 5.4.
