Adding/Enabling PHP 7.4 via EasyApache

[A Hartonian]

Hello,

Today I installed cPanel on a VPS and I noticed PHP version 7.4 is available in EasyApache. I assume you guys officially added this version.
Now, I have 20 other servers that are running on CloudLinux + cPanel, when I go to easyapache, I don't see the PHP 7.4 version for enabling.

I also ran /scripts/upcp —force but not luck.

How can I add php version 7.4 to EasyApache?

Thank you

Hello,

If you're using CloudLinux ea-php74 will be available when they update their repositories. On CentOS servers this is available via our EA4 repositories.

Cloudlinux has the php 7.4 long before cPanel adds it.
The problem is I can't see the php 7.4 in EasyApache. While the php selector have the php 7.4 enabled, so I can't enable any extension for this version which results in not working properly when it is selected by the user.

Cloudlinux had alt-php74 prior to cPanel having it. They have not yet added ea-php74 to their repositories. Since you have CloudLinux you need to use their alt-php74 PHP and extensions until they make ea-php74 available.
