Unable to update PHP 5.6.37 to 7.4

[AdnanSarwar01]

Hello,
I recently installed CWP and it came with PHP 5.6 installed.

I went to CWP > PHP Settings > Switcher and selected 7.4.26 and rebuilt it.

Even after hours, the version is still the same 5.6.x

What's wrong in here? Can you please help?

I tried to change version for like 3-4 times (different days). But it's still not updated. Please assist me. Thanks

Try 7.3 instead.  I had the same problem.

I tried to update to 7.3.33 but still after an hour - NO Success!

Are you using OpenVZ as your environment?

Probably some modules are missing, like Lip Sodium, you need to check your logs.

Change the PHP version and run in your ssh: tail -f /var/log/php-rebuild.log.

If you follow the installation logs, you may find the problems there.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm using KVM.

Anyways the problem is solved.

After searching a lot. I first ran this command to install the missing libraries.

Code Select Expand

yum install oniguruma oniguruma-devel gcc make gcc-c++ cpp kernel-headers.x86_64 libxml2-devel openssl-devel bzip2-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel freetype-devel openldap-devel postgresql-devel aspell-devel net-snmp-devel libxslt-devel libc-client-devel libicu-devel gmp-devel curl-devel libmcrypt-devel pcre-devel sqlite-devel db4-devel enchant-devel libXpm-devel mysql-devel readline-devel libedit-devel recode-devel libtidy-devel libtool-ltdl-devel libwebp libwebp-devel expat expat-devel

Then as per your suggestion, I ran this command to install sodium for php74 (Yes, it was missing and was not previously installed)

sudo yum --enablerepo=remi-php74 install php-sodium

Then I went to the PHP version Switcher and again rebuilt and now it was built successfully and now my CWP is using 7.4.26
