php compiling for 1 hour

[Namaste]

I am updating php from default 5.6 to 8.1.  On one server its been an hour so far, and the other server 30 minutes.  Both servers have no websites.

[Starburst]

Yea, go from 5.6 to 7.4, then from 7.4 to 8.x

If the sites down' need anything below 7.4, then you might want to look at using AlmaLinux 9.5 instead of 8.10.

[Namaste]

So I got up today and both servers had not been updated to the 8.1 php.  More disasters.  I will try the incremental method.

I tried the 2 step doxy do and it worked. mpita

Yea, I've had to do that for awhile, apparently CWP doesn't like to jump that far in 1 go.

I hate to ask what your "More disasters" are...
