Recently installed a new server with WHM version v96.0.11 and noticed that php 5.6 is no longer available so I was wondering if it is possible to copy it from another server that has it installed

  Hi @microvax, If you want to use PHP 5.6, best to use the hardened version of PHP 5.6 that comes as part of the Cloudlnux package. Hope that helps.

  @microvax - it's definitely more secure to use the CloudLinux version if you need to run older versions of the PHP software. However, I created a build just now on 96.0.11 and I do see all the versions available in EasyApache. We have the full list of what is supported here:

  If you are using Centos 7 you can add it via easyapache 4. If you are using centos 8 or almalinux 8 you cannot use versions below 7.2. You need to use Cloudlinux.

  Do you know if CloudLinux OS 8.4 is yet released for production?

  That error message is just letting you know that your AlamLinux packages are already updated past the CloudLinux packages. Since CloudLinux performs additional security hardening and testing, they may run a few days behind the latest releases. It would be good to reach out to them directly for official details on that, or wait a few days and try the work again.
