500 error right after PHP version change/update

If you see "500" or "internal server error" right after PHP upgrade, that means your PHP scripts are not compatible with selected version. Please downgrade to previous version then upgrade your PHP scripts. You must backup website data and MySQL data bases via cPanel > Backup > Generate full cPanel backup then backup MySQL data bases prior upgrade.
