How to Upgrade PHP from 5.4.16 to >= PHP 5.6.5 / PHP 7 on Centos 7?

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I am using centos 7 and it came with php 5.4.16. Now i have to install moodle moodle 3.2 which requires at least PHP 5.6.5.

I tried installing php from remi and IUS repositories but no luck. All i get is error: conflict with the previous install.

If i install any other version of php phpmyadmin won't work. (I tried on development server it didn't work)

By the way I tried googling a lot..but ended up with not working solutions. SO I had to create this.

How do I acheive moodle and phpmyadmin both working on my server ?

Any help is highly appreciated.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

There is a brief guide IUS Usage Guide. In short you can try following:

yum install yum-plugin-replace
yum replace php --replace-with php56u
