MultiPHP Manager with custom PHP runtime

[ksb.dev]

I have a requirement for a server to run on php82zend PHP runtime.

I have installed this using their zendphpctl program: Using the zendphpctl script

The PHP version appears to be installed when checking installed packages in yum.

Reading through the docs on EasyApache4, I found that MultiPHP Manager should recognize a "vendor-provided" version and allow me to edit INI and select PHP versions here. : EasyApache 4 FAQ | cPanel & WHM Documentation

But it also lists the caveat:

Not all vendor-provided PHP packages will contain all of the files that EasyApache 4’s MultiPHP system requires. You may experience additional limitations.

It then lists a few possible things that could cause this issue. I have gone through those 2 suggestions, but it still is not getting recognized. I tried restarting services, reboot, etc.

I'm wondering if there is a larger list or understanding on what is required to get this PHP version to get recognized. I don't mind searching through code either if that is all there is, I'm just not sure exactly where to look, or if that code is open source.

Hey there! I've reached out to our EasyApache team to see if they have additional thoughts on why this isn't working for you, and I'll let you know what I find out!

Hey there! I've been told "It needs to be an SCL RPM with a vendor prefix per the URL below. Looks like he’s installing a binary from a non-rpm installer."

How to Locate and Install a PHP Version or Extension | cPanel & WHM Documentation

This document explains how to locate and install a PHP version or a PHP extension.

Specifically this section: "These PHP versions must be a Software Collection Library (SCL) package and cannot start with the ea- prefix that EasyApache 4 uses."

@cPRex - thank you for looking into this!

I see I was using an abstraction program to help get this installed for us and maybe that was the issue.

I can see from the straight-forward installation instructions that it does mention using SCL RPM, but unfortunately I don't believe it uses a vendor prefix: sudo yum install httpd php82zend-php

Is that something I can work around? Or would that just be a deal breaker for the MultiPHP Manager?

Thanks for the help!

I believe that's the point where we reach it being a deal-breaker. There are some details about creating a custom RPM here:
