Issue How to disable old system php Version 5.4 in Plesk Obisidian and Upgrade to New

[sall10]

Hello,

im using Plesk Obsidian 18.0.27 with Centos 7.8. I still have the system PHP 5.4.16 active on my server. All my Domains are using already 7.3.

Can someone please let me know, how can I activate PHP 7.3 for Plesk and deactivate old PHP5.4 ? After testing then, how to erase safely all old outdated Php Versions?

Thx

I have the sane situation:

# plesk version
Product version: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.27.0
OS version: CentOS 7.8.2003 x86_64

# php -v
PHP 5.4.45 (cli) (built: Aug 23 2016 14:31:52)

It is system php from OS vendor, Plesk doesn't ship it. You just not use it for your hosting and use modern PHP versions from Plesk.
If it is critical for you and if the system does not have newer versions of PHP packages in official repositories - it should be compiled manually or installed from 3rd-party repositories.

Thanks Igor. Just to understand correctly, the system php version can not be just set like the hosting php versions?

You can. But it is really bad idea to use ancient, unsupported and EOLed PHP 5.x version.

Sorry, I meant how can I use newer system php version like 7.3 as system php version in plesk obsidian? to get rid of the ancient 5.x
