Cant change PHP

  • Hello all,

    I`ve recently changed servers and need to update the pages on my site, but each time i try to update the PHP is a post or page it will not update and either goes to a page saying this if i try updating or previewing page :

    This error (HTTP 501 Not Implemented or HTTP 505 Version Not Supported) means that the website you are visiting doesn’t currently have the ability to display the webpage, or support the HTTP version used to request the page.

    Or when i try to update it in a widget, the update circle will just spin for as long as i leave it..

    any suggestions? ive tried this 100s of times still the same outcome,

    tried deactivating all plug in`s still nothing.

    Thanks for any help

    the reason its giving the error tho is because the files are in a different place now (as i`ve moved servers)

    All i want to do is change this part of text (/home/fhlinux008/e/exercisesupplies.co.uk/user/htdocs/comparison/external.php)

    as its not there anymore, its in a new location and needs updating. but i cant change it to fix the problem, as everytime i try to update in my wordpress panel, it sends me to the 501 page, then when i try again nothing has changed.

    So you moved the database and it includes the path:
    /home/fhlinux008/e/exercisesupplies.co.uk/user/htdocs/comparison/external.php
    ?
    Which refers to the old host “fasthost”?

    So to fix, you could uninstall the plugin and ensure that all references to it are deleted from database. Then reinstall and it *should* rebuild the path with the new server info.
    Alternatively, talk to the host again (I know they’ve not been helpful but be patient) and ask them what the path should be. Then search the database and replace the path with the correct one.

    This is my problem i cannot change the code, wordpress wont let me!!!

    I have deleted the plugin, tried to add the code but wont let me, if i take out all php then the page will update as soon as i add php it wont let me update..

    thanks

    Yep, I hear you.
    If this plugin did a clean uninstall, it’d be nice. It’s unlikely.

    So I think you need to do a little database editing.
    Buried somewhere in the database is that path to your old Fasthost directory:
    /home/fhlinux008/e/exercisesupplies.co.uk/user/htdocs/comparison/external.php

    You need to find that little bastard and delete it.

    To do that, I’d suggest going into the CPanel and finding PHPmyAdmin in the database section. Navigate to your database and login.

    For some reason, my phpMyAdmin isn’t working. I’m trying to replicate the problem so I can solve it. Will let you know if I succeed.

    Can’t find it. Giving up for the night.

    I think you should ask the plugin developer how to delete that path.

    I had a similar probem and chased it for a week, only to find out that I had my UTC and UTF setting wrong. I was supposed to be UTC-8 and UTF-8 under “setting” “reading”and I was UTC-7 “settings” General” and guess what? When i changed it to UTC-8 and UTF-8 like it should have been in the first place all my problems I was having saving things went away. I hope this helps.
