Resolved Is it safe to Install PHP 7 in VM manually?

[Didik Tri Susanto]

i've set my plesk to use php 5.6, managed in hosting settings inside plesk. But if i run php -v after I SSH vm, it showed me PHP 5.3. I've successfully manually upgraded to php 5.6 via remi repo.

My question, is it safe to remove php5.6 and install php 7 manually? I was failed to upgrade to php 7 because conflict in php-common version. But if i removed php packaged, i am affraid this action is affected php version in plesk.

Plesk Version: 12.0.18
PHP Supported plesk:
PHP 5.2
PHP 5.3
PHP 5.4
PHP 5.5
PHP 5.6
PHP5 (from OS vendor)

What about upgrade to Plesk Onyx where PHP7.0 and PHP7.1 can be used out of the box?

Hello,

PHP 7 is available in Plesk 12.5 .It would be much easy if you can upgrade your Plesk.

Have a look at this article:

Thanks

Why do you suggest upgrade to old 12.5 version instead of latest Plesk Onyx?

Hi Igor,
I thought it would be more error free to upgrade from Plesk 12.0.8 to 12.5 , than going for a direct upgrade to Plesk Onyx.

Thanks

Direct upgrade is supported and no any reasons to avoid it.
