SOLVED PHP version and EasyApache4

[LordLiverpool]

Hello cPanel

I installed CSF and it said my version of PHP (5.3) was a security risk and upgrade asap.

I tried to upgrade, but because I'm on EasyApache3 I need to upgrade to EasyApache4.

But when I tried to upgrade to EasyApache4 it said my version of PHP (5.3) wasn't supported. (see image attached)

Can anyone please help?

Hi,

Running PHP 5.3 is a security risk. It's been EOL since August of 2014. EasyApache 4 does not support this version of PHP. If you need it, we'd recommend using CloudLinux.

@cPJacob thanks for replying!

I need to update PHP, but I first need to update to EasyApache4, to update EasyApache4 I first need to update PHP.

I'm stuck in a loop of illogic. How do I break out?

Hi,

You can still upgrade to EA4, it just won't install PHP53. It's not a hard block

I took the plunge and it seemed to work (see screenshot)

How come I have both EasyApache3 and EasyApache4?

I'd have expected EA4 to remove EA3 on successfully installing itself, or am I missing something?

Howdy,

That's fine, the EA3 UI is disabled, but still showing in WHM as there's a 'backup' of EA3 available if you need to roll back.

Enjoy!
