ea-php56 - Centos8

Michaelit
Hi, i install and configure a new Centos8 and WHM/cPanel 92 installation with easy apache 4. I really need to have ea-php56 package installed however i receive the following result: [CODE=bash]yum install ea-php56 Last metadata expiration check: 0:06:23 ago on Sat Feb 6 11:43:57 2021. No match for argument: ea-php56 Error: Unable to find a match: ea-php56
Can you please help me for that? One more question as for the release date of 94 version in productive way. Is this date available to public?

    Centos 8 supports php 7.2 and above. For lower versions you have to use cloudlinux-php selector. :(

    I can not believe that i must pay more for that. Unable that there is no any alternative. This is for an encrypted php5.6 compatible software where i can not edit and make it compatible with php 7x

    You would be better with CentOS 7 anyway as support for CentOS 8 will end in a year :(

    Can you please give me more information about that? If i move to Centos 7 will ea4 support 5.6 version of php?

    Yes PHP 5.6 is still supported by default without CloudLinux on CentOS 7 and CentOS 7 is still supported by cPanel by the end of 2024.

    cPanel supports CentOS 8 till the end of it's lifecycle i.e 2021 Dec 31 (About/Product - CentOS Wiki) CloudLinux do offer extended support for CentOS 6 which is EOL already for an extra price: CloudLinux OS is/will be free.

    Thank you @andrew.n, unfortunately cloudlinux is not free of charge. I can see almost 170 dollars/year for one server. I will try centos 7 + whm as it's important to keep having 5.6 version of php as well. I assumed that centos 8 lifecycle will be longer than centos 7 that's why i followed the option of whm and centos 8.

    CloudLinux OS is free of charge, not CloudLinux. CentOS 8 lifecycle was cut short due to Redhat. You can read more about it here:

    Aha i see " As we already maintain CloudLinux OS, we plan to release a free, open-sourced, community-driven, 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL" 8 (and future releases) in the Q1 of 2021. "

    @Michaelit CloudLinux has already released the beta version and can be downloaded from AlmaLinux - Forever-Free Enterprise-Grade Operating System and soon it will be production-ready :)

    @Michaelit - you'll want to be on version 94 in order to take advantage of CentOS 8, as 92 only had experimental support for CentOS 8. I was able to install version 94 on CentOS 8 and I could install and remove all the normal PHP versions available in the interface.

    Yes, it does. Centos 7 + Cpanel supports PHP versions prior to 7.2, including 5.6, as well as MySQL 5.7 which has an EOL of 21 Oct. 2023. Centos 8 (+ AlmaLinux) + Cpanel does not support either of those.

    Thank you all for your instructions. I finally did that and it's working great! This thread could be marked as SOLVED.
