HOWTO: Install PHP7.0 or PHP 7.2 on CentOS 7

[SS88]

Note: This is only for NGINX + PHP-FPM VestaCP installs.

PHP 7.2 install is located here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=12319&p=68007#p68007

BELOW IS PHP 7.0 INSTALL!

This tutorial REPLACES PHP 5.X COMPLETELY. Do NOT use it if you want multiple 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 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

Remove and re-link new PHP7

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/bin/php
ln -s /usr/bin/php70 /usr/bin/php

Test if we have PHP 7

Code: Select all

php -v

Output should be (take note of PHP 7!!)

Code: Select all

[root@tiny system]# php -v

hi, duy13,

I used your code, but I got following result:

Code: Select all

# php -v
PHP 7.0.11 (cli) (built: Sep 14 2016 08:28:52) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies

These is no "with Zend OPcache v7.0.9" in my installation. Why?

Do I need to install OPcache separately?

Thank you.

Remove roundcubemail as dependency.

hi, @edica,

You are right. When I following the topic author's steps, the "yum -y remove php" command will remove roundcubemail as dependency.

When I tried to re-install roundcubemail , it can not be done.

Why?

How to restore roundcubemail now?

Is it possible to upgrade to PHP7 WITHOUT losing roundcubemail ?

Thank you.

I don't know if you have done this but I updated the commands and removed "yum -y remove php" and now everything works as expected.

Today I tried your above steps again, when I run the following command, I got error:

Code: Select all

# service php-fpm stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop  php-fpm.service
Failed to stop php-fpm.service: Unit php-fpm.service not loaded.

Did I missed something?

Thank you.

PS: I think, "service ..." is a command on CentOS 6.x, right? On CentOS 7, you should use "systemctl ... ", right? Why you still use "service ... " command on CentOS7?
