Migrating CentOS 7 to PHP 7

Linux centos / centos 7 / php / php 7 / remi 17 Nov 2018 17 Nov 2018 Leave a comment

CentOS is a conservative distribution giving you the most stability and security, at the expense of newer features like the latest PHP release.

Fortunately there are ways around for getting a newer PHP by using one of the several repositories out there providing updated packages. My personal choice for this task is Remi’s Repository.

Migrating CentOS 6 to PHP 5.5

I make the assumption that you’re running PHP 5.3 (the currently newest PHP version officially available in CentOS 6) or perhaps PHP 5.4.

The switch can, theoretically, be done on live system – just prepare yourself for a bit of hiccups here and there (or perhaps even serious downtime).
