Unable to install Wordpress because of old PHP version

0

I just tried to install Wordpress on the site but when I try to access it says the following: Your server is running PHP version 5.3.27 but WordPress 5.2.2 requires at least 5.6.20.... I tried to find a PHP upgrade option on CPanel but I didn't find... cannot be accessed to : site/wp-admin

2Is this a server you are managing yourself? If not, please ask the administrator to update it for you. – slhck – 2019-09-02T14:02:20.827

The server is not mine but I am a web designer, so i have access to cPanel.I don't know how to upgrade the version – Nina – 2019-09-02T14:24:23.507

I'm voting to close this question. It has nothing to do with computer software in our scope -- you have to ask the administrator or the hoster to update the (very outdated) version or switch to another host. – slhck – 2019-09-03T07:32:30.173

There are several links available to solve this issue. But what i think is that you might need to update the cPannel iteself.

If you have multiPHP Manager installed it could be present here cPanel>>Software>>MutiPHP Manager

Idk how to update cPanel... – Nina – 2019-09-02T13:42:57.290

This is not a complete answer. Please [edit] your post to provide a solution. Saying that there are "several links available" is not enough. – slhck – 2019-09-02T14:01:57.187

Can you please tell me the version number of the cpannel. Looks to me that cpannel is quite dated. – Dhruv – 2019-09-02T14:15:41.487

11.40.0 (build 26) – Nina – 2019-09-02T14:20:32.340

That is a dated version form 2014 !! Please check weather you can update the cpannel using the following link
