 * Why is the php54.error file being generated in my temp folder on my server. It
   is taking up all the space and essentially shuts the site down if I do not delete
   the file in time. I’ve already tried to switch themes and deactive all plugins
   and it still continues to generate and take up all of the space on my site.
 * Also php.ini file has logging off so I don’t know why it’s continuing to generate
   logs.
 * From other threads it looks like it’s a MySQL issue. We are also using IIS 7.
   Please advise.
 * Here is a snippet from the file :
 * WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query UPDATE `wp_options`
   SET `option_value` = ‘a:455:{s:32: …

 * You should be using 5.6 or better.

 * It is not a suggestion. WordPress requires version 5.6 or better.

 * Ok so here is my concern. We have over 10 websites using wordpress 5.4 php. And
   from what I am seeing it’s only one of our websites that is showing up[ in these
   log errors. Shouldn’t it be all websites if it requires it?

 * We’ve been having this issue for some time and I don’t believe it’s because of
   the version of PHP that is causing this.

 * I suggest you check with your host also. There apparently is something different
   about the setup for that particular site.
 * To run WordPress we recommend your host supports:
    PHP version 5.6 or greater
   MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.0 or greater That’s really
   it. We recommend Apache or Nginx as the most robust and featureful server for
   running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. That said,
   we can’t test every possible environment and each of the hosts on our hosting
   page supports the above and more with no problems.
 * Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP or MySQL
   versions, WordPress also works with PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions
   have reached official End Of Life and as such may expose your site to security
   vulnerabilities.
