How to install cPanel and CentOS 7 on OVH Dedicated Server ?

[azadhussnain]

Hello i recently purchased OVH RISE-GAME1 server with AMD Ryzen CPU, but i cannot see any CentOS 7 installation option, there is CentOS 8 option. Is there any way to install CentOS 7 on OVH server?

You have 2 options.

Introduce and install iso with kvm.

After installing vmware on the server, the operating system installation you want as a virtual server.

If its not available on their panel, then use the kvm console and install the required os iso

They have IPMI console, i have connected to IPMI but when I click on Virtual Media Wizard the Java Application suddenly closed, tried connecting via the web also, ISO file uploads till 1044KB and then it didn't upload.

I have tried Installing CentOS 8 and then migrating from CentOS 8 to AlmaLinux 8. The cPanel Installation works but PHP version 5.6 , 7.0 , 7.1 are not available and that is my problem if they're available i am ready to use AlmaLinux. I know we can use these PHP versions by installing CloudLinux, but i don't want CloudLinux. CloudLinux is paid and it itself uses much resources and i have to host 12 website with very high traffic and some softwares which uses too much memory.

If anyone have some solution please let me know.

you can install php 5.6 , 7.0 , 7.1 versions manually on any linux distros

@hmaddy - while that might install the older PHP software, it wouldn't have any connection with cPanel or EasyApache at all.

@azadhussnain - the operating system will physically not support the older versions. We have details on this here:

https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/360062821973-What-versions-of-PHP-are-available-in-EasyApache-4-on-AlmaLinux-8-

The oldest version you would be able to install is 7.2 without moving the CloudLinux.
