PHPMyAdmin stopped after the PHP downgrade
PHPMyAdmin stopped after the PHP downgrade
Hi There,
We have installed VestaCP on an Ubuntu server 18.04.2 LTS and been working perfectly after fine tuning all the errors. However, when we moved an some WordPress sites and found out one site was throwing errors due to php being higher version. So my colleague downgraded the PHP version from the latest to 5.6 and PHPMyadmin stopped working since then.
What I want is to fix the phpmyadmin as well as keep the older version of php to support the wordpress until the user upgrades it to the latest version. How can fix this?

Code: Select all
ls -l /etc/alternatives
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 2 11:03 php -> /usr/bin/php5.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar 2 11:07 php-cgi -> /usr/bin/php-cgi5.6

Re: PHPMyAdmin stopped after the PHP downgrade
This probably isn't the answer you want to hear, but you'd probably do better making the one Wordpress site work with PHP 7.2 or 7.3
PHP 5.6, 5.7 and 7.0 are no longer supported. https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php
You'll notice that Wordpress will actually run on earlier versions of PHP: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
So I'm guessing its one of the plugins which is not working. Try disabling plugins until you find which one it is. Try upgrading plugins to current versions.
