How to replace php 5.4 with php 5.6.<\/p>\n

Before installing PHP 5.6, apply any existing updates available for your distribution:<\/p>\n

\n\n# yum check-update\n# yum update\n\n<\/pre>\n
Also, this is a good moment to get (and save somewhere) a list of our installed packages (in case we need to rollback):<\/p>\n
\n\n# rpm -qa |grep php\nphp-mbstring-5.4.16-36.1.el7_2.1.x86_64\nphp-mysql-5.4.16-36.1.el7_2.1.x86_64\n(...)\nphp-gd-5.4.16-36.1.el7_2.1.x86_64\nphp-odbc-5.4.16-36.1.el7_2.1.x86_64\n\n<\/pre>\n
Download and install the “repos” package:<\/p>\n
\n# wget http:\/\/rpms.famillecollet.com\/enterprise\/remi-release-7.rpm\n\n<\/pre>\n
\n\n# rpm -Uhv remi-release-7.rpm\n\n<\/pre>\n
Now enable the repository in Yum by setting enable=1 for the remi-php56 repo:<\/p>\n
\n\n# nano \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/remi.repo\n(...)\n\n[remi-php56]\nname=Remi's PHP 5.6 RPM repository for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch\nmirrorlist=http:\/\/rpms.remirepo.net\/enterprise\/7\/php56\/mirror\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi\n\n(...)\n\n<\/pre>\n
Replace PHP 5.4 with PHP 5.6
\nInstall the packages not as a Software Collection but as “Replacement Packages”:<\/p>\n
\n# yum update\n<\/pre>\n
This yum update command should upgrade all our PHP packages. If it does not upgrade them or we don’t have PHP already installed, then do:<\/p>\n
\n# yum --enablerepo=remi-php56 install php-cli\n<\/pre>\n
Yum will remove the old packages and install the new ones.<\/p>\n
Now, restart services:<\/p>\n
\n\n# systemctl restart httpd\n# systemctl restart nginx\n# systemctl restart php-fpm\n\n<\/pre>\n
if you receive an Nginx error, then you may need to reconfigure it. See: https:\/\/qbytes.cloud\/install-nginx-centos-7\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
