PHP switcher not working on newly installed CWP.

[cyfocus]

I am trying to upgrade the default PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.4.x  but the PHP switcher is not working.   

Does anyone solve this?

There were no error.  It wasn't updating.  Did you try updating yours?

Looks like you don't pay much attention - scroll to the bottom,when you initiate a build and you'll see:

PHP Compiler Started in Background. You can monitor PHP rebuild from the console using command: tail -f /var/log/php-rebuild.log

Granted,it would be more useful/noticeable if the message box appeared at the top, given that screen automatically refreshes at the top. 
(My 1GB RAM VPS has now locked up reverting 7.4.11 to the last 5.4 build.. patience!)

10 minutes later..

tail -f /var/log/php-rebuild.log
You may want to add: /usr/local/lib/php to your php.ini include_path
/usr/local/src/php-build/php-5.4.45/build/shtool install -c ext/phar/phar.phar /usr/local/bin
ln -s -f /usr/local/bin/phar.phar /usr/local/bin/phar

Make Install DONE!
