Hi everyone,

I want to upgrade my PHP 5.6x to PHP 7 for my Directadmin

how to just upgrade PHP without updating other components?

Hi,

change your php version in the custumbuild options.conf with nano (or your favorite text editor)

nano /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf

change the line

php1_release=5.6

to

php1_release=7.0

save and quit.

build php

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build php y

Regards,

Great webaltern and thanks for the guide!

Just curious, after upgraded to PHP 7.0 then I can downgrade from PHP7 to PHP 5.6?

Is that possible? and can I do the same steps as you suggested above for downgrading from PHP7 to PHP 5.6?

You can change and use any combinations of PHP versions at any time: upgrade, downgrade to any available version.
