How to install roundcube and phpmyadmin on php7+php-fpm?

[Pim]

Hi. Thank you for your guide.

I have that problem after install:

Code: Select all

Error: php70w-common conflicts with php-common-5.6.32-1.el7.remi.x86_64

[shishupal]

Is there any notification to get PHP 7 default on next update??

[M4nDrK]

i follow and works fine thanks. but. now i need same instructions for nginx + apache plz.

[baijianpeng]

I read another article which provided a new way to update default PHP 5.6.x to PHP7 on CentOS 7, it also introduced some skills to optimize VestaCP as well :

https://vpsguide.net/tutorials/vps-tuto ... -centos-7/


Hope someone will compare these two methods and tell us which is better?

Thank you.

For those interested in getting RoundCube working with PHP 7 in CentOS 7 here you go:

Remove all traces of PHP 5.x (including RoundCube):

Code: Select all

yum remove php

Now install PHP 7.0 using the code in the first post (also follow all of the steps in the first post, this is just here for completeness sake):

Code: Select all

yum -y --enablerepo=remi install php70 php70-php php70-php-pear php70-php-bcmath php70-php-pecl-jsond-devel php70-php-mysqlnd php70-php-gd php70-php-common php70-php-fpm php70-php-intl php70-php-cli php70-php php70-php-xml php70-php-opcache php70-php-pecl-apcu php70-php-pecl-jsond php70-php-pdo php70-php-gmp php70-php-process php70-php-pecl-imagick php70-php-devel php70-php-mbstring

Now download the latest version of the RoundCube RPM (as of this post):

Code: Select all

wget ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/remi/enterprise/7/test/x86_64/roundcubemail-1.3.0-2.el7.remi.noarch.rpm

Now install RoundCube:

Code: Select all

rpm -i --nodeps roundcubemail-1.3.0-2.el7.remi.noarch.rpm

Run these commands (the version in the URLs will most likely change so make sure it matches the current version of VestaCP):

Code: Select all

wget c.vestacp.com/0.9.8/rhel/httpd-webmail.conf -O /etc/httpd/conf.d/roundcubemail.conf
wget c.vestacp.com/0.9.8/rhel/roundcube-main.conf -O /etc/roundcubemail/main.inc.php
wget c.vestacp.com/0.9.8/rhel/roundcube-db.conf -O /etc/roundcubemail/db.inc.php
wget c.vestacp.com/0.9.8/rhel/roundcube-driver.php -O  /usr/share/roundcubemail/plugins/password/drivers/vesta.php
wget c.vestacp.com/0.9.8/rhel/roundcube-pw.conf -O /usr/share/roundcubemail/plugins/password/config.inc.php
chmod a+r /etc/roundcubemail/*

Now just restart Apache and nginx (not sure if both are needed but it can't hurt):

Code: Select all

service httpd restart;service nginx restart

And RoundCube is working again. Enjoy! :D

After two weeks I found your answer and that was the only correct answer for default vestacp installation. With my thanks.

How update php 7 to 7.1/7.2 after using this manual for uprate from 5.6 to php 7?

Do the same as with php70, you can yum search php72 and it will list all the packages. Then install ones required. Finally do all the same as wtih php70, just replace php70 keyword with php72. I've got it working. But vesta still has php-fpm greyed out.

Update:

Noticed that php7*w packages work better then without w.

Vesta still has php-fpm greyed out? So that means, I guess, there are now two versions of php, the old one of php70, and the freshly installed one of php72, and the greyed php is under Vesta's control, and the newly installed php70 is not?

Is there any notification to get PHP 7 default on next update??

My current installation, nginx+php-fpm style, produces php v5.33, a bit lower than v5.6. I also hope there soon will be an update to push the old ver to the current one, so that I can install phpBB v3.2 easily.

It's not that easy to unload the shipped php-fpm v5.33 and replace it with a more freshed one, ver 7.x, although v5.6 is the minimum of phpBB v3.2 installation.

[SS88]

This will install PHP 7.2. It will replace old PHP versions.

If you have REMI Repository you can skip this step.

Code: Select all

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

Then enable Remi

Code: Select all

yum --enablerepo=remi update remi-release

Now remove old PHP and install PHP7

Code: Select all

service php-fpm stop
yum -y --enablerepo=remi install php72-php php72-php-pear php72-php-bcmath php72-php-pecl-jsond-devel php72-php-mysqlnd php72-php-gd php72-php-common php72-php-fpm php72-php-intl php72-php-cli php72-php php72-php-xml php72-php-opcache php72-php-pecl-apcu php72-php-pecl-jsond php72-php-pdo php72-php-gmp php72-php-process php72-php-pecl-imagick php72-php-devel php72-php-mbstring

Remove and re-link new PHP 7.2

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/bin/php
ln -s /usr/bin/php72 /usr/bin/php

Test if we have PHP 7.2

Code: Select all

php -v

Output should be (take note of PHP 7.2!!)

Code: Select all

[root@tiny system]# php -v
PHP 7.2.3 (cli) (built: Mar  2 2018 12:24:56) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.2.3, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

Now open up new PHP-FPM.conf ( /etc/opt/remi/php72/php-fpm.conf ) file and change line 11 to:

Code: Select all

include=/etc/php-fpm.d/*.conf

Start PHP-FPM

Code: Select all

service php72-php-fpm start

Remove old systemctl php-fpm and link to new one

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm.service
ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/php72-php-fpm.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm.service

Reload systemctl daemon

Code: Select all

systemctl daemon-reload

[baoang]

This will install PHP 7.2. It will replace old PHP versions.
......
Remove old systemctl php-fpm and link to new one

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm.service
ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/php72-php-fpm.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm.service

Reload systemctl daemon

Code: Select all

systemctl daemon-reload

Thanks! SS88, very detailed description on the operation.

Mine is on CentOS v6.9, and misses systemctl:(

That's why I try to figure out if I could take a shortcut to get a remi
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=16403

Actually, my installation is nginx+php-fpm, mysql, ... no mail, no DNS, no remi, almost a bare one.

This will install PHP 7.2. It will replace old PHP versions.

Hello. Thanks for the guide but I'm having some issues. I did all the steps and basically the problem is when I run 'php -v', I get PHP 7.2.X, but my actual websites are still running PHP 5.6 (I'm checking via phpinfo).

To go further, I followed the guide without issue up until where you say to "Start PHP-FPM". But this is what I get when I attempt that:

Code: Select all

[root@server01]# service php72-php-fpm start

Do you have any idea what is going wrong? I did this on a fresh VestaCP install on CentOS 7. Can you verify what settings I should have chosen when running vst-install.sh? Like for WEB what should I have picked (nginx + apache, nginx + php-fpm)? I want to be running Apache as the main web server.
