Question Change default PHP version for Plesk Onyx on Ubuntu 16.04 Server

[cij]

Hi all,

I need to change the default PHP version from 7(PHP from OS vendor ) to 5.6. Is this possible?

Changing the PHP version for a subscription or a domain is not resolving my issue. I need to install the XMR extension for PHP5.6 to get my CMS working. But now I get the error message that PHP7 is installed on the server.

Thank you very much in advanced

Why you can't use Plesk PHP 5.6 version for your goal from /opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/ path instead of default OS php path?

# ll /opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/
