Upgrading to php 7

delebash · Post by **delebash** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 6:13 am

Ubuntu 14.04
VestaCp 0.9.8-14

I would like to test out Php 7 but am having trouble upgrading. I am very new to VPS so any help would be appreciated.
I also do not wish to use a PPA

I followed the instructions to install Php7 on zends site http://php7.zend.com/install-ubuntu.php, but now apache2 will not start becuase it wont pass configtest. I checked config and all I did was add the lines mentioned in zends site. I think there is a conflict between php7 and the install php 5.5.9 by VestaCP

If anyone can provide instructions on how to install/upgrade VestaCP's install of php5 to php 7, thanks. Also I know that VestaCP has its own instance of php, I am not trying to upgrade that, just the ones for any sites added by VestaCP

Thanks,
Dan

You can make php 7 from source and then use as php-cgi
http://www.zimuel.it/install-php-7/ - something like this.

You dont need remove it just install as aditional and add new template and you get php 5 and 7 working on same server, some websites may not work on php 7.
