Hi all,

Ph74 is not available in NS7, only rh-ph73 and I hope that redhat is still maintened it as a software collection (need to be verified)

php74 comes from remi repository I have no idea on it, probably you installed it from my first attempt in nethgui to offer php-fpm

Rh-php73 is a community project

https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/jstanek/rh-php73/

Btw we have switched a lot of ns7 module to php80 from remi-safe

Hi @stephdl,

In my last installation of PHP (2020-03-21 for Zabbix), I followed your wiki page: php-scl [NethServer Wiki]

# yum install -y  http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/NethServer/7/x86_64/nethserver-stephdl-1.0.7-1.ns7.sdl.noarch.rpm

# yum install -y http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

# yum install -y nethserver-php-scl --enablerepo=stephdl

The results were:

# rpm -qa | grep scl-
scl-utils-20130529-19.el7.x86_64
nethserver-php-scl-1.3.0-1.ns7.sdl.x86_64
centos-release-scl-rh-2-3.el7.centos.noarch
centos-release-scl-2-3.el7.centos.noarch

# ls -ls /opt/remi

At the Rh-php73 community project: PHP 7.3 — Software Collections , the search results for EOL or end of life are empty.


But at: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhscl-rhel7
Product Life Cycle of Red Hat Software Collections for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

So, I think the best way is to use PHP-7.3 and forget PHP-7.4 ???

What about PHP-8 ???

The support of nethserver-php-scl is discontinued because it is designed for nethgui. I would propose to you switch to cockpit and you have for this purpose php80

Eventually you could fork the rpm to add the php80 and now also php81 (from my repo)
