=============================================
Installing PHP 5.6 on RHEL 6/7 and CentOS 6/7
=============================================
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS 6 still ship with PHP 5.3. Nextcloud
requires PHP 5.6 or better. There are several third-party repositories that
supply PHP 5.6, but you must use the Software Collections (SCL) repository to
be in compliance with your RHEL support contract, and not any other third-party
repository.
RHEL 6
------
Follow these steps to install PHP 5.6 from SCL. First you must use
your Subscription Manager to enable SCL in RHEL 6::
subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-server-rhscl-6-eus-rpms
For RHEL 7::
subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-eus-rpms
Then install PHP 5.6 and these modules::
yum install rh-php56 rh-php56-php rh-php56-php-gd rh-php56-php-mbstring
You must also install the updated database module for your database. This
installs the new PHP 5.6 module for MySQL/MariaDB::
yum install rh-php56-php-mysqlnd
If you are using the Nextcloud LDAP app, you need this module::
yum install rh-php56-php-ldap
Disable loading the old PHP 5.3 Apache module::
mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/php53.off
Copy the PHP 5.6 Apache modules into place::
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.d/rh-php56-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-rh-php56-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/modules/librh-php56-php5.so /etc/httpd/modules/
Then restart Apache::
service httpd restart
Verify with :ref:`label-phpinfo` that your Apache server is using PHP 5.6 and loading
the correct modules.
CentOS 6/7
----------
First install the SCL repo::
yum install centos-release-scl
Then install PHP 5.6 and these modules::
yum install rh-php56 rh-php56-php rh-php56-php-gd rh-php56-php-mbstring
You must also install the updated database module for your database. This
installs the new PHP 5.6 module for MySQL/MariaDB::
yum install rh-php56-php-mysqlnd
If you are using the Nextcloud LDAP app, you need this module::
yum install rh-php56-php-ldap
Disable loading the old PHP 5.3 Apache module::
mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/php53.off
Copy the PHP 5.6 Apache modules into place::
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.d/rh-php56-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-rh-php56-php.conf /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/
cp /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/modules/librh-php56-php5.so /etc/httpd/modules/
Finally, restart Apache::
service httpd restart
Verify with :ref:`label-phpinfo` that your Apache server is using PHP 5.6 and loading
the correct modules.
