Upgrade php 7.2 to 7.4 centos 7

Question

Hi all,

I host 2 WordPress sites using Apache(httpd) on my droplet and am getting the nagging message to upgrade my version of PHP. I’ve found some tutorials and article on installing PHP, but nothing regarding upgrading from one version of PHP to another, and nothing particularly for CentOS 8. Can anyone give me some pointers or offer any advice on how to safely upgrade from PHP 7.2 to 7.4?

Im a bit of a newbie at server administration and I was wondering if I could get some tips on updating my PHP version.

When I first setup my server, I followed a tutorial and managed to get php 7.2 up and going, but now I want to update the php 7.4 and im not really sure how.

I'm running a CentOS 7 box, and I setup my original PHP using the following commands;

yum install yum-utils
yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72

yum install php72 php-cli php72-php-fpm php72-php-gd php72-php-json php72-php-mbstring php72-php-mysqlnd php72-php-xml php72-php-xmlrpc php72-php-opcache php72-php-zip php72-php-soap php72-php-bcmath php72-php-imagick

systemctl start php72-php-fpm
systemctl enable php72-php-fpm

There were some files edited as well, for instance;

/etc/opt/remi/php72/php.ini
/etc/opt/remi/php72/php-fpm.d/www.conf

Any help would be really greatly appreciated.

Try this:

sudo yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum -y install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

Enable Remi and EPEL Repository Install both previously downloaded packages and enable Remi PHP 7 repo:

sudo yum -y install yum-utils
sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi-php74

sudo yum update
sudo yum install php php-cli

You can then install additional packages example:

sudo yum install php  php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-zip php-devel php-gd php-mcrypt php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath php-json'

Now check the version php -v

You should be asked whether you would like to keep your php.ini file unchanged or not during the install.
