Upgrading PHP when using CloudLinux

random

October 25, 2016 05:43

Hello, I would like to upgrade the 'native' version of PHP on the server from 5.4 to 5.6. The server is running CLOUDLINUX 6.8 x86_64 standard " host WHM 58.0 (build 32) Some of my clients have used the PHP selector to change the PHP version for their sites to either 5.3, 5.5 or 5.6. Most of these are on 5.3 (perhaps about 20) whilst only 2 or 3 accounts are using 5.5 and 5.6. How will it work? When I upgrade PHP in WHM using EasyApache 3, does it mean that all the accounts currently on 'native' setting will automaticallly use the new 'native' PHP version 5.6? Will the clients that have used the PHP selector retain the version that they have chosen or will they also be moved to 5.6? What is the best (safest for my clients) way to upgrade? Is it enough to simply upgrade PHP via EasyApache and CloudLinux will simply 'adjust itself' to the new version? Having never upgraded PHP on a CloudLinux server before, I am not sure about the procedure. I have asked the same questions to the CloudLinux people but they have refused to answer, saying this has nothing to do with CloudLinux. Thank you. Pascal

If I were you, I'd just use the EA4 profile that provides Apache only without PHP, and make sure the correct handlers are installed. We purposely shied away from using the CL PHP selector to prevent issues like this. A more complex solution, and one that you may want to consider if you have the means to do so, is to go ahead and install a full EA4 profile and then 'convert' the users to use the corresponding version of PHP provided by cPanel. This will only not work if you have people using PHP 5.3 or older, which is not provided by EA4.

Hello Vanessa, Thank you for your reply. I am a bit reluctant to upgrade to EA4 at the moment as I have heard there are still some issues to be ironed out. I may be wrong but I would prefer to wait a little longer for that.

If you're not upgrading to EA4, just run easyapache as normal. I've never seen it cause an issue with CL's PHP selector.

I was hoping it might be as simple as that. Thank you.

Attention: There is a bug in the cPanel v. 58 Build 32 Reconstruction: Fresh system with cPanel + Cloudlinux + CageFS + PHP Selector 1) Run Easyapache 4 to add as example "env" 2) PHP Selector is ignored. Fix it... Run Easyapache 4 again. Same issue

No it is not addressed. They said yesterday.. yes you can run easyapache 4 in cpanel.. now same... php selector offline means all websites with an internal error 500: Attention: There is a bug in the cPanel v. 58 Build 32 Reconstruction: Fresh system with cPanel + Cloudlinux + CageFS + PHP Selector 1) Run Easyapache 4 to add as example "env" 2) PHP Selector is ignored. Fix it... with a console build
/usr/local/bin/ea_install_profile --install /etc/cpanel/ea4/profiles/vendor/cloudlinux/allphp_cl_lsapi.json
Run Easyapache 4 again. Same issue

Hello, Could you let us know the output from /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log when your websites display the "500" internal server error? Also, you are welcome to open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look. Ensure you post the ticket number here if you choose to do so. Documentation regarding the use of PHP Selector with EasyApache 4 is offered at: PHP Selector > Control Panel Integration > cPanel In particular, here's a quote from this document regarding inherit setting: QUIRKS: When changing System default PHP version, administrator should take into consideration the following quirk. For example, if a user has chosen PHP 5.3 for domain and System default PHP version is PHP 5.5, then PHP Selector will not be used for user domain. In this case, if administrator switches System default PHP version from 5.5 to 5.3, then PHP Selector will be activated for user domain and PHP version chosen in PHP Selector will be applied for domain. That is why it is recommended for administrator to avoid changing System default PHP version to PHP version that is already used by users. At the same time it is recommended for users to choose inherit for domain and use PHP Selector to choose PHP version. In this case PHP version chosen in PHP Selector will be always applied for domain.
Thank you.

Hello, This suggests you are missing a couple of PHP modules for PHP 7. You can use the following commands to install these modules:
yum install ea-php70-php-calendar yum install ea-php70-php-gmp
If this doesn't help, open a support ticket using the link in my signature so we can take a closer look. Thank you.
