Hi there,

I'm using a different PHP (5.4.x) version. Now I would like to upgrade that to PHP 7.x but I could not do it anymore. So, is there any article/item to install PHP 7.x or upgrade PHP 5.4.x to PHP 7.x.? I just wanted to install or upgrade PHP 7 on a clean install but still I can't see any article item or thread at forums. Thanks for support.

Regards,
 
Hello,




1.
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update


2. Depending on your needs, run one of the following (a or b):

a.
Code: 
./build set php1_release 7.0
b.
Code: 
./build set php2_release 7.0


3. Install PHP:


Code: 
./build php d
 
Thanks Alex, that's very useful

Does PHP 7.x have any advantages oer php5x? and I should update for my DA?

Thank you very much but why does php -v on the command line still show my old version?
 
It might be because of two reasons:

1. PHP 7 failed to build
2. PHP 7 was installed as alternative version.

What do you see with:

Code: 
ls -lad /usr/local/php*/
?

Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/
./build options
?

You did not install PHP 7.0. Follow the guide once more and post here results (10-20 final lines from console) of the last command:

Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set php1_release 7.0
./build php d

You're running CustomBuild 1.x, to get PHP 7.0 installed you should switch your server to Custombuild 2.0.


Read CustomBuild 2.0 FAQ on how to do it:
https://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=44743


Then you can install PHP 7.0 following the guide

Hi,

Problem solved but now httpd stopped:

Code: 
Stopping httpd:                                            [FAILED]
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 50 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-phpmodules.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/mod_ruid2.so into server: /usr/lib/apache/mod_ruid2.so: undefined symbol: unixd_config
 
Error

Code: 
[root@server custombuild]# ./build php d
apache webserver configuration option is not compatible with php-fpm, lsphp or php-fastcgi PHP mode with mod_ruid2 enabled.

I got that error and this is my options.conf


Code: 
#PHP Settings
php1_release=5.6
php1_mode=mod_php
php2_release=7.0
php2_mode=php-fpm
opcache=no
htscanner=no
php_ini=no
php_timezone=Europe/London
php_ini_type=production
ioncube=no
zend=no
suhosin=no
x_mail_header=yes

#MySQL Settings
mysql=5.6
mariadb=10.0
mysql_inst=no
mysql_backup=yes
mysql_backup_dir=/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/mysql_backups
mysql_force_compile=no

#WEB Server Settings
webserver=apache
litespeed_serialno=trial
modsecurity=no
 
When you get an error:

Code: 
apache webserver configuration option is not compatible with php-fpm, lsphp or php-fastcgi PHP mode with mod_ruid2 enabled.

you should disable mod_ruid2 by running the following commands:

Code: 
./build set mod_ruid2 no

and then try again:

Code: 
./build php
 
is there a way to have default php5.6 but also have php7 for other sites within the same box ?
