Will you provide PHP 7 support in virtualmin?

@Didier Misson: You know that EOL for Ubuntu 15.10 is July 2016? That means you have only 7 months until the end of support for your version of Ubuntu. You should stay with 14.04 until 16 LTS is out.

Yeah we’ll have support for Ubuntu 16.04 around the time it comes out in April!

So when is PHP 7 support coming? Do you know an date?

I hope the Virtualmin team do not release it before it’s all been tested, just because of the pressure here.

Which I am sure they will not.

I don’t have a date, but it will be soon :slight_smile:

Are there any news for PHP 7 update for Virtualmin?
@andreychek

Stop asking. You all know an update is coming out already. That should be enough. Wait for an announcement. Rushing developers is one of the most annoying things anyone can do.

  1. It is not easy
  2. Testing takes time or do you prefer your server to crash and burn?

I will start asking as this page http://www.webmin.com/ says PHP7 is supported as of Virtualmin 5.0gpl
I upgraded but I don’t see any PHP7 upgrade, virtualmin package updates nor is it available in the webmin software packages (YUM, rpmfind.net)

Running on CentOS 6.7

Am I missing something?

PHP7 apparantly is not in the default repos coming with Webmin and Virtualmin. When adding remi repos PHP7 comes available, so do updates for the previous versions.

Is remi repo considered a stable repo enough to keep enabled (for future updates)?

I did install it from the repo on one server.
It also shows up and is working if i manually edit the php-fcgi init script
What i can not do - due to missing apache configuration files - set it up in

Server Configuration > PHP Versions

“Website options cannot be edited, as no Apache virtual host for xxxx.de port 80 was found!”

Any chance i can choose PHP version while using nginx?

Thanks

Seriously, having only one domain and subdomains, virtual min has been nothing but deep problems for every regard of my website management except maybe emails. So, Im thinking about completely uninstalling virtual min and installing of those new lemp stack or use something less complicated such as ispconfig. I had to do the same thing than you to make it work with php7 and virtual min is not worth the hassle for me personally.

there have always been issues with PHP… about long delays

but above all with the PHP FPM support

honestly, I’ve asked so many times that i’m hopeless now

Nov 29, 2011
It’s official. PHP-FPM is no longer marked as “experimental” as of PHP 5.4.0RC2.

we can even start since 2011 and don’t go back… since 2011 5 years passed

5 years, not 5 months…
and they don’t even provide a reason about this…what’s the source of so many difficulties to implement and so on…

php fpm is by that time basic part of PHP, precisely because is the best modern and efficient method to run PHP

@mikt, @colmomo, @7stars
You are in the wrong thread.

I don’t think so… the only wrong thing here is the lack of efficient php support, that is fundamental, nowadays and before…

and another problem is that they don’t even ask for help to some developers (since the open source, otherwise I don’t understand if it’s really open source…)…IF any problem. But what’s the real problem? Who knows… …

Do you even know how to program yourself? If yes, then contribute how to fix it… If not then shut up… If they rush it WITHOUT CHECKING MILLIONS OF LINES OF CODE WRITTEN BY A GROUP OF PEOPLE and your server crash then who are you going to blame?

Can’t wait, then install PHP 7 on a plain LAMP Stack.

I got PHP7 to work on Centos 7.2.1511 with nginx https2 and WOW I couldn’t be happier, my wordpress site is loading freakishly fast 3x faster even with a bunch of plugins activated.

I ended up going with ius repo since centos says its ok https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories and these are the commands I used.

cd ~ curl ‘https://setup.ius.io/’ -o setup-ius.sh

bash setup-ius.sh

yum remove php-fpm php-cli php-common (when i used apache I didn’t have to remove php 5.4 but with nginx I couldn’t get it to use php7 no matter what I did)

yum install php70u-fpm-nginx php70u-cli php70u-mysqlnd

yum install php70u-cli.x86_64 php70u-common.x86_64 php70u-fpm.x86_64 php70u-gd.x86_64 php70u-mbstring.x86_64 php70u-mcrypt.x86_64 php70u-mysqlnd.x86_64 php70u-opcache.x86_64 php70u-pdo.x86_64 php70u-pear.noarch php70u-process.x86_64 php70u-xml.x86_64 php70u-xmlrpc.x86_64 php70u-json.x86_64 php70u-imap.x86_64 php70u-gmp.x86_64 php70u-bcmath.x86_64 php70u-pecl-apcu.x86_64 php70u-pecl-imagick.x86_64 php70u-soap.x86_64 php70u-tidy.x86_64

I am new to Virtualmin (came from cpanel was constantly being attacked) friend recommend Virtualmin with changed default ports and I’ve become a true believer! I’ve been testing this dev server for about 3 weeks now and I’m planning to move it to a production server if it continues to run this good.

after the 5th month, isnt there an update ?

Yep do you have any information on the php 7 support?

Best

It’s already supported.
