Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.13
PHP version: 5.2.17 plus 5.3 (dual install)
MySQL version: 5.0.96-community
Host: dedicated server from host gator
Admin Tools version: none installed (hence the support tix)

Description of my issue:
I want to install Admin Tools in a site which has some components using php 5.2x. I have had the server techs install dual php versions so I can use php 5.3 but I need to add an 'htaccess' file with this line..

# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

I need to add this to the folder of the component which requires php 5.3 (admin tools) but just need to know exactly where I should put this htaccess file so I can install Admin Tools.

thanks!

Hello Jeff,

you really should consider updateALL your site to PHP 5.3
PHP 5.2 already hit its end of life, it's buggy and old; moreover there aren't backward compatibility issues (ie your 5.2 extension will work on 5.3, too).

So you really should update instead of using "fancy" ways to switch PHP versions ;)
