Currently php is set for 5.4. I tried several flavors of upgrades, but non of them seem to work including the “multiple versions” directions. I even almost broke my server trying.
From a cli , the newer version may work but in Virtualmin, not even detected. Now, phpMyAdmin is needing at least php 5.5 or higher. Ideas, suggestion, and instructions that work AND not break virtualmin would be good.
Note that they’ve been updated within the last few weeks, so if you haven’t tried it recently, you may have better luck now.
There is a caveat – there is a bug in Virtualmin that prevents it from detecting PHP 5.6 when installed as a second PHP version. But it should detect all PHP versions prior to that, such as 5.5. This bug will be corrected soon.
If you want to load PHP 5.6 and virtualmin to see it, you have to create a symlink in l/opt/rh/ called php56 pointing to rh-php56, then virtualmin will see it.
#ln /opt/rh/ ln -s rh-php56 php56
mcrypt is either in the package already installed or I added rh-php56-php-mcrypt from remi-php56more repo, just cant remember right now, but I do have it running.
