Uploading PHP installation files through File Manager will not upgrade the server\u2019s PHP runtime.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_menu_shows_85_not_8512_Is_that_normal\"><\/span>The menu shows 8.5, not 8.5.12. Is that normal?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nYes. Hosting controls commonly show a release series, while the server administrator manages its patch updates. Selecting 8.5 alone does not prove that the latest security patches are installed. Ask Support to confirm the actual package or vendor security fixes when necessary.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_site_shows_a_blank_page_critical_error_or_HTTP_500\"><\/span>My site shows a blank page, critical error or HTTP 500.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nRestore the previous PHP selection first. If available, check <strong>cPanel \u2192 Metrics \u2192 Errors<\/strong> and your application\u2019s error log for recent entries.
