Rollback php 7 to previous version

[Twincarb]

Hi,

Is there a way that I can rollback from php 7.0.6 to PHP 7.0.5 as there is an issue with using 7.0.6 with a Joomla forum component. The developers have confirmed it's been fixed in PHP 7.0.7 but that is only in RC at the moment.

My server is a centos 7 box.

Thanks in advance

Hi Twincarb,

to rollback to a previous Plesk - PHP - version, you might use "yum" ( with the string "history", you are able to list the previous operations ):

First, check the installed "plesk-php" packages :

rpm -qa | grep "plesk-php" ​

or/and

List the installed "plesk-php" packages :

yum list installed | grep -i plesk-php​

Next, list the history for one or more specific package(s) ( here "plesk-php70" - packages) :

yum history plesk-php70​

Next, wiith the list of the IDs, you have the possibility to view the operations :

yum history info X ( where X is the number of the desired history ID )​

Next, you are able to "undo" a yum - operation with the command :

yum history undo X ( where X is the number of the desired history ID )​

After the "undo" command, you may now list again the history for the desired package ( here "plesk-php70" ) and could check again the depending operations :

yum history plesk-php70
yum history info X ( where X is the number of the desired history ID )​

Because you don't want to update/upgrade the package "plesk-php70" ( and it's depending packages ) automatically, you can now set this package to "hold" in your configuration file "/etc/yum.conf" :

exclude=plesk-php70*

Please remember this special, unique configuration, because it will prevent automatic yum-updates/upgrades, as well as patches/updates/upgrades for the Plesk autoinstaller, depending to your "hold" exceptions. Pls. keep an eye on

https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/12.5/change-log/​

... so you may delete any possible, unique exceptions in case that you would like to update/upgrade the package again.

Thanks for the swift response

Will give it a dry run on a vps that is upto date, but not in use.

I tend to keep a close eye on the plesk change-log, as that way I know what's changing and have a good idea of where to look if things don't work as expected.
