PHP7 on plesk 12

[deanodino1]

I use opensuse os, and so am stuck using plesk 12 because it is not longer suppported. Is it possible to update php to 7? I know I can't update within the panel and previously I have used freelancers to update php. I have been told by my hosting company (1and1) that I can't update to PHP7. Generally, I try not to listen to everything they say because they have been wrong so often. So are they right this time or wrong? Due to the fact I am stuck on plesk 12 I cannot update to PHP7?

Thanks for reading the thread and helping if you can.

Hi deanodino1,

To install the required PHP version, please follow steps described in this article https://kb.odin.com/en/118378 . But we do not guarantee that such customization will be functioning normally.

My install of Plesk 12.5 has the option to install PHP 7. The link you provide, by the way, brings a "404" result.

Peace,
Gene

Hello Gene,
Fixed in previous message.

I have installed PHP 7.0.1, with the latest Plesk 12.5.x update.

Most of my domains work well. I had to update a couple of WordPress plugins, a trivial matter.

Performance is noticeably better.

But I also have two domains with forums that have private/upgraded areas where we distributed some of our radio shows. We use an authenticated RSS feed (requires member name and password) based on a PHP script. With some help from the forums, we got it to work with PHP 5.6.16 and PHP-FPM over Apache.

When I switch to PHP 7.0.1, however, same setting otherwise, authentication fails. Anyone knowledgeable in PHP 7 differences who might look over our script and explain what needs to be changed? (We're back to PHP 5.6.16 until this is sorted out.)

Peace,
Gene

@Gene,

In essence, your question is off-topic, in the sense that it does not align with the question(s) of the thread starter.

Anyway, to respond to your question

I have to emphasize that nobody can really state anything usefull, if the contents of the script are not known.

Please start a separate topic thread, with the information necessary to answer your question.

Regards....

PS I personally would like to give the advice that you have a look at the script yourself and, at the same time, have a look at php.net, a site with clear instructions and information.

I don't think I'm necessarily knowledgeable enough in PHP to do that, but I'll post try. And I will post the script in a separate thread.
