Resolved Change default php version (from OS vendor)

[rodmark]

The default version of my plesk is at 5.4, and I wanted to use version 7.4, how can I make it the default?

When I run php -v on SSH it gives version 5.4 I intend to change it to 7.4.

Hi Igor, will this change users' settings too? I just wanted to change the main php, without affecting the restate customers. thx

It will not affect your customers. It just a replacement OS vendor PHP version with the latest Plesk PHP version.
As a possible alternative, you can upgrade OS vendor's PHP version (/usr/bin/php). It is Linux administrative task not related to Plesk.

Working for me :

$ which php
/usr/bin/php
$ mv /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/php-backup
$ ln -s /opt/plesk/php/7.3/bin/php /usr/bin/php
$ php -v

Working for me :

If your OS is debian-ish, better use update-alternatives, otherwise this could be overwritten on OS PHP update.
