Installing PHP 5.5 on RHEL 7 and CentOS 7
=========================================
PHP 5.4 has been end-of-life since September 2015 and is no longer supported by the PHP team. RHEL 7 still ships with PHP 5.4, and Red Hat supports it. Nextcloud also supports PHP 5.4, so upgrading is not required. However, it is highly recommended to upgrade to PHP 5.5+ for best security and performance.
**Before upgrading, evaluate all of your PHP apps for compatibility with PHP 5.5.**
RHEL 7 Upgrade to PHP 5.5
-------------------------
To upgrade to PHP 5.5, you must use the Software Collections (SCL) repository to be in compliance with your RHEL support contract, and not any other third-party repository. Follow these steps to install PHP 5.5 from SCL. First you must use your Subscription Manager to enable SCL::
subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-eus-rpms
Then install PHP 5.5 and these modules::
yum install php55 php55-php php55-php-gd php55-php-mbstring
You must also install the updated database module for your database. This installs the new PHP 5.5 module for MySQL/MariaDB::
yum install php55-php-mysqlnd
If you are using the Nextcloud LDAP app, you need this module::
yum install php55-php-ldap
Disable loading the old PHP Apache modules by changing their names::
mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/php54.off
mv /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-php54.off
Copy the PHP 5.5 Apache modules into place::
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.d/php55-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-php55-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/modules/libphp55-php5.so /etc/httpd/modules/
Then restart Apache::
service httpd restart
Verify with ``phpinfo`` that your Apache server is using PHP 5.5 and loading the
correct modules; see :ref:`label-phpinfo` to learn how to use phpinfo.
CentOS 7 Upgrade to PHP 5.5
---------------------------
To upgrade to PHP 5.5, use the Red Hat Software Collections (SCL) repository.
**Before upgrading, evaluate all of your PHP apps for compatibility with PHP 5.5.**
Follow these steps to install PHP 5.5 from SCL. First install the SCL repository::
yum install centos-release-scl
Then install PHP 5.5 and these modules::
yum install php55 php55-php php55-php-gd php55-php-mbstring
You must also install the updated database module for your database. This installs the new PHP 5.5 module for MySQL/MariaDB::
yum install php55-php-mysqlnd
If you are using the Nextcloud LDAP app, you need this module::
yum install php55-php-ldap
Disable loading the old PHP Apache modules by changing their names::
mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/php54.off
mv /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-php54.off
Copy the PHP 5.5 Apache modules into place::
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.d/php55-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-php55-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/modules/libphp55-php5.so /etc/httpd/modules/
Then restart Apache::
service httpd restart
Verify with ``phpinfo`` that your Apache server is using PHP 5.5 and loading the
correct modules; see :ref:`label-phpinfo` to learn how to use ``phpinfo``.
