Installing php 7.2 concerns

PabloC
I have a dedicated server with cPanel and EasyApache 4 55425 Now I want to add php 7.2 I am no expert, so I would like to know if I need to hire an expert to do it, or if following the instructions I can add php 7.2 by myself. 55417 Could anyone advice me on this matter? Thanks!

    Hi @PabloC You shouldn't need an expert to do this. Actually, once you select enable for PHP 7.2 EasyApache will automatically add dependencies as well as recompile apache for you. If you have any trouble though please let us know!

    Thanks! It seems to be that I have done it! 55433 What do I have to do now? restart Apache? anything else? Can I move sites to 7.2 right away? Thank you!

    Hi @PabloC You shouldn't have to do anything else! EasyApache4 should have taken care of anything potentially needing done for you. The only thing I would ensure before moving to PHP 7.2 is that you have all the necessary PHP extensions installed on PHP 7.2. You may want to mimic the extensions you have installed on other versions of PHP.

    Everything went perfectly, and I have installed the extensions I needed, and I already have 4 sites running on PHP 7.2 One last question: I need to install the extension for ImageMagick, and it is not on EasyApache's list. Could you be so kind as to tell me where to look for? Thanks so much!

    Disclaimer: I don't use, or have installed ImageMagic for EA-4 (I use Cloudlinux and imagick appears to be installed by default for the Alt-PHP versions) - the following informations is from articles on this forum (search for imagick), and what I have found by using a search engine, so research the installation until you feel confident to perform it. I believe you will need to install the imagick through the PHP Pecl installer WHM >> Software >> Module Installers >> "PHP Pecl" Installer >> select the PHP version you want it for > search for imagick and install You might find some tips in the threads , and carefully read @cPanelMichael posts from if it applies to you

    Thanks rpvw! I am trying, but I have been so far unable to install it. This is what I get: in the final lines it tells me that there's something missing, but I don't know what is it. I would appreciate if you could give me a hand with it. downloading imagick-3.4.3.tgz ...
