   So, I installed wordpress on my website and tried accessing it and got this message:

   Your server is running PHP version 4.4.9 but WordPress 3.2.1 requires at least 5.2.4.

   My server is running php version 5 and 5.0 for mysql databases.

   I've looked around and saw that one should add this to the .htaccess file in the root directory in order to solve the problem ( if your host is godaddy):

   AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
   AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml

   I did not have an .htaccess file in my directory nor did I obtain one from downloading the 3.2.1 package again and again... So i created my own:

   # BEGIN WordPress

   AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
   AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml

   # END WordPress

   After uploading this and trying to access thesite.com/wordpress/ , it just downloaded the web page I was trying to access.
   Basically, it did not solve the problem.

   Does anybody have a solution?

   I have created wordpress site on goDaddy host without any problem earlier!

   to get the exact information on php create a file info.php

   and put the following code in that file

   <?php
   phpinfo();
   ?>

   save it and upload to your root dir.
   Reverse the .htaccess file thing.
   check the php information by http://yourDomainName.com/info.php

   Come back with those information.
