Question

It is required to upgrade the php on the NG node to version 5.5 without using alt-php.

How can this be achieved?

Answer

Following instruction was tested on CloudLinux 6.5:

  1. Create a file php55.sh, put the following content in it, make it exectuable with chmod +x php55.sh, launch it with ./php55.sh:

    #!/bin/bash -x
set -e
yum install https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm -y
yum remove php-ioncube-loader -y
yum -y install t1lib yum-plugin-replace
yum replace php --replace-with php55w -y
service httpd restart
  2. Propagate changes to OA via PCP > Service Nodes > open required node > Apache extensions > Synchronize apache extensions
  3. Wait until spawned task is complete.

This will install necessary libs and remove obsolete ioncube-loader module (which is incompatible with PHP >5.3).

Substitute php55w with php54w to upgrade to version 5.4.
