NetworkNewbie asked:
I have PHP 7.0 on my VPS with CentOS 6.10 and there is an application that needs PHP 7.1 and above. Also, there’s a separate application that uses a php function that is deprecated in PHP 7.1, so I need both PHP 7.0 and 7.1
I have the remi-php70 and remi-php71 repositories, but when I do the yum --enablerepo=remi-php71 install php71 it shows No package php71 available.
I also tried installing the centos-release-scl package, but it again says No package centos-release-scl available.
I have a different VPS with CentOS 6.9 and both packages are available on it.
I don’t know what’s different in CentOS 6.10. Could use some help.
My answer:
The remi PHP packages do not have names prefixed with php70- or php71-, but just php-. You cannot mix remi PHP packages of different PHP versions on the same system; if you really need this, use Software Collections PHP packages.
