Status update for PHP 7?
As of yesterday PHP 7.0.0 has been released, searching through the forums I haven't seen any messages about this so excuse me if I did miss that.
My question: When will it be available to install using EasyApache?

I know this is an old thread. But I find it unfortunate that PHP 7 is limited to EasyApache 4. I do not regard it as ready for production, since it is still beta. It would be fair to allow users of EA 3 to upgrade to PHP 7 without excuses. Also I might be willing to try EA 4 if it allowed you to simply import your EA 3 setup without change so you can start from the same setup and make changes, if need be, going forward. It doesn't appear you can do that now. Am I wrong? Peace, Gene 0 -
Hi Gene EA4 is going stable as of v58, which hits release in a few weeks. The EA3 -> EA4 migration script already imports your EA3 configuration and creates an EA4 profile of which you can provision easily. I'd recommend trying it out. We have no current plans to offer PHP 7 as it's almost deprecated. 0 -
I, of course, would mean PHP 7.0.7, which is the version I have on my former Plesk server. All right, so what you're saying is that when I set up EA4, it will simply copy my current EA3 setup, and not change a thing, unless I choose to go to PHP 7.x right? No danger? This is a production server. Peace, Gene 0 -
Gene, Yep, 7.0.7 is the version that EA4 is also running: root@cpanel [~]# rpm -qa | grep ea-php70 ea-php70-php-cli-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-php-curl-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-php-gd-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-runtime-7.0.7-1.1.x86_64 ea-php70-php-fpm-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-php-common-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-php-pdo-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-php-mbstring-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-php-xml-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-php-opcache-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-7.0.7-1.1.x86_64 ea-php70-php-posix-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-php-mysqlnd-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-php-ftp-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64 ea-php70-pear-1.10.1-2.2.noarch ea-php70-php-devel-7.0.7-1.3.x86_64
When you run the migration script, it will do it's best to do a full mapping from EA3 -> EA4, prompting you to let you know of any extensions / modules you have enabled in EA3 that aren't available in EA4 (most are deprecated / not used any longer, or just not compatible with Apache 2.4). While most migrations are seamless, you might find things need to be tweaked with your accounts, so it's best to do a full inspection of your accounts / domains immediately after migrating and watching the logs for any problems. There's a danger with any platform migrations, and a chance that things will not go 100% smoothly. If you're not familiar with EA4 or it's new locations, I'd recommend checking out0 -
If it goes bad, can you revert back to EA3 without having to reinvent wheels? Peace, Gene 0 -
Yes sir, there's a --revert function to the migrate script that will revert back and rebuild PHP. Here's some more information on it: How to Install or Uninstall EasyApache 4 - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation 0 -
Offhand, I'd like to see a preflight feature, where you see, before you make the move, the consequences in terms of models that aren't supported, etc. Peace, Gene 0
