Installing PHP 5.5

I’m trying to install PHP 5.5 on CentOS 6.7 x64 with the provided guide here:
https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/web/multiplephp#Installing_PHP_5.5_on_CentOS_6

Turns out the site hosting the repo isn’t responding on my end or my server’s end (https://www.softwarecollections.org/repos/rhscl/php55/epel-6-x86_64/noarch/rhscl-php55-epel-6-x86_64-1-2.noarch.rpm). So is this normal? Did softwarecollections just stop existing? What would I be recommended to do at this point?

Thanks!

BTW I’m using completely stock/latest Webmin & Virtualmin

Apparently the web server choked during an upgrade recently and it’s been down for two days.

This is all a little bit in flux as there are some changes in how those packages are being built and supported. They will soon be just part of the regular CentOS mirrors. At the moment you can get the normal php packages by reading

I ended up switching to debian 8 and will see how that goes. Thank you for the info though
