Ver: CENTOS 7.9 kvm [ns1] v96.0.11

For the last 6+ months, when I remove PHP 7.3 in easyapache, it comes right back an unknown amount of time later.

Yesterday I removed PHP7 completely and selected PHP8 only. Was fine, then today, PHP 7.3 had snuck right back in.

Also when I changed all users to php8 in the php manager, it did not apply to them all, even though it said it did.

Hey hey! I can't say I've seen similar behavior on my end. Since those packages are all rpm-based now, there would have to be some type of install command to trigger them to reappear.

Do you see any evidence of them being reinstalled in /var/log/yum.log?

Yes, and 2 days ago I again removed it in Easyapache and it came back yesterday.

I'm wondering if you have a tool that is installing the WordPress cpaddon, and that is causing the other packages to be included as a dependency. The log is showing that *something* is triggering Yum to perform that work, although I can't say for sure what that is based on the output.

Thanks, I appreciate it. My coworkers do have wordpress for our front-end, so that clears it up.

Hello again! I removed all wordpress sites from my server but I still keep finding that cpanel reinstalls PHP 7.3 when I'm not looking.

PHP 7.3 and extensions. I just ran:

rpm -e wp-toolkit-cpanel

Let me see if it stops now.

It came back again. Well, it seems to not mess with anything so I will just leave it.
