The issue with the message:

Your server is running PHP version 4.4.9 but WordPress 3.3.1 requires at least 5.2.4.

can be solved by adding two lines of code to .htaccess file:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

per this post

https://gabediaz.com/blog/running-php-5-for-wordpress-with-11-hosting/

I was missing a semicolon at the end of:

define(‘NONCE_SALT’, ‘put your unique phrase here’);

So now I get the message:

Your server is running PHP version 4.4.9 but WordPress 3.3.1 requires at least 5.2.4.
