The other is through SSH: run the script <c>/scripts/easyapache</c> from a root-level SSH session.

 On the next screen you will select your Minor PHP version. Generally speaking you want to go with the latest available version, however you should check PHP's [[http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php|changelog]] to ensure the latest version does not have any major changes that will not break your scripts. If you find that it does, you can always run EasyApache again and downgrade a version. On the next screen you will select your Minor PHP version.
