Php7 Default web stack

[key_six]

hello,

i will be change the default php Default web stack. i have nethserver 7.6 with php 5.4 default webstack.
but i have some problems with old php handler. its possible run php7 as default ? what is the best way to change it.
i cant find any option on webgui.
best case i can controll in webgui php-version via vhost.

because i have some problems with secure and freebdx. freebdx version 14.0.13.4 and i cant reset session as example.

i have found in the old webgui 980 port the php settings over stephdl rep. its installed and i have select as default php7 but it doesnt work fine.
server header say
Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips PHP/5.4.16

I think you can use php-scl from @stephdl.
For that you have to install stephdl repository first. Have a look here:

https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=stephdl_repository

After that you can install php-scl with the commands at the following wiki-link:

Even with the option of php-scl, I agree there should be a new(er) base version for php in NS. I know we follow upstream on this but we also can not ignore the official php support:
https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
php5 (all versions!) are eol since 1 jan 2019
php7.0 is also eol since 1 jan 2019
php7.1 already entered security updates only
php7.2 is out of active support and enters security updates only on dec 1st 2019

I know RH supports the eol versions that are shipped with the distro (and CentOS follows that path), but still… we encounter loads of applications that just need a newer version of php.

I guess we are just depending on RH on this…

Even with the option of php-scl, I agree there should be a new(er) base version for php in NS.

I’m not a huge fan of RedHat’s methodology here, but it’s pretty common among other “stable”, server-oriented OSs (see also Debian, FreeBSD, etc.), and I do understand the logic for it. But why is it a problem, such that we’d need a newer base version? Install php-scl, set the default version to 7.2 (or whatever), and you’re good to go.

server header say
Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) OpenSSL/1.0.2k-fips PHP/5.4.16

What the server headers say doesn’t matter. If you’ve set the root folder’s version as desired (see below):

…then that’s the version that’s running there. If you want to test, create a file there called test.php with contents of <?php phpinfo(); ?>. Browse to it, and you’ll see something like this:

i have some problems with secure and freebdx.

FreePBX 14 works with PHP5.6, see FreePBX wiki.

Like many other applications on Nethserver, FreePBX uses php-fpm in /etc/httpd/fpbx-conf/httpd.conf, line 9.

freebdx version 14.0.13.4 and i cant reset session as example.

Sorry, what do you mean with reset session?

To run fwconsole with PHP 5.6:

scl enable rh-php56 fwconsole

i have successfully switched php dealers via webgui. thx @ll

all have now a current php version. only with freepbx … i always have one and the same session in the webgui.
unfortunately i can’t log in. also the command “fwconsole unlock sessionid” returns the following error it would be an invalid session. even after a reload i always have the same session.
i have tried to install and uninstall freepbx several times. unfortunately without success.
i always see the webgui but can’t login. i think it is a chmod problem ?
here all log excerpts:

i think it is a chmod problem ?

You may try to set permissions with fwconsole or set permissions of /var/www/html/freepbx/admin/modules/pm2/node manually.

FreePBX - there was an error - just minutes after fresh install

Sometimes I’ve seen this, but wasn’t able to reproduce. I’ll try again. meanwile, you can fix by launching scl enable rh-php56 -- fwconsole chown
