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?

You said the magic words:

So, I installed wordpress on my website

Which means:

The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.
