We have a new AlmaLinux with Cpanel version 116.0  server.   We have ordered this server for migrating our old Centos 6 server.    We had some websites which works only with php 7.0 and php 7.1.  With latest server,  I am unable to find an option to install php 7.0 or php 7.1. I can see latest Easy apache supports only from PHP 7.2 +

We need few months to upgrade existing websites to work with latest php.  Is it possible to install php 7.0 and 7.1 with AlmaLinux 8 ?

  The only way to get PHP 7.1 and below supported is by installing Cloudlinux (cloudlinux.com).

  You have 2 options.

   

  Using the Imunify360 hardened php feature.

  Activating the hardened PHP feature by installing Cloudlinux.

  Hi,

  The above mentioned methods are paid solutions.  We are already paying cpanel for its license.  In my case this was an emergency situation as old server got crashed all of a sudden and we had to move everything to new one for maintaining the UP time.   While proceeding with the migration we have noticed that latest WHM doesn't support old php versions.    Meanwhile other paid control panels like Plesk and Direct Admin supports from php 7.0

  Plesk doesn't support PHP 7.0 either on Almalinux nor Directadmin (although with a paid Pro Pack addon it might be possible on DA).
