Default PHP Version
Incident Report for Pantheon Operations
Postmortem

On 11 August, 2020 at around 6am PDT an issue is observed on ~1% sites having default PHP version of 5.3 and that neither had pantheon.yaml file nor upstream.pantheon.yaml file. The issue was caused due to a new change which surfaced an underlying bug in specific sites causing them to default to PHP 7.2 instead of PHP 5.3.

The change was reverted at around 8am PDT and by 2am PDT on 12 August, 2020 all affected sites were fixed.

We will be fixing the bug and taking measures to ensure this does not happen again.

Investigating
We are currently investigating an issue affecting sites previously running PHP 5.x without a pantheon.yml file. These have defaulted to PHP 7.2 and we are working to correct this. As a workaround, add a pantheon.yml file as described in our docs here: https://pantheon.io/docs/php-versions#configure-php-version
