Here are a couple of things we run into while installing PHPmotion on different providers. If you can find the solution to your problem we're glad we could help!

There are two or three steps to be done to ensure a problem free install. First find out what php version your server runs on and download the corresponding phpmotion zip file. Make sure the php settings in cPanel match. Some hosts allow both php 4 and 5 to run on some/all their servers.

If you want to use PHP5 then in cPanel click on "PHP Configuration", select PHP 5 from the dropdown menu then click Update. In this case 'The  ".php" file extension will be processed by PHP 5'.

If you try to run the php5 version script as php system default or PHP 4 then you'll get this error:

"Fatal error: phpSHIELD Loader - script was encoded for another version of zend engine in /home/path/public_html/classes/config.php on line 2"

Download and unpack PHPMOTION_PHP5.zip and edit this line in classes\config.inc.php

$path_to_php  = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

You need to find out the exact php path from your web hosting provider and replace it in the previous line, for GlowHost this is /usr/local/bin/php

Also, the PHPmotion documentation is a bit incorrect, all the required directories must be set to 755 instead of 777 and all the files to 644.

You may proceed to setup now. Good luck!
