Hi,

I'm running an SL7.4 webserver with httpd24 and php71 from SoftwareCollections.

Install: yum-conf-softwarecollections

Then look at https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/ to see what software you can pull in via SoftwareCollections.

You'll want to "yum install" at least:

httpd24
rh-php71-php

These get installed to /opt/rh/httpd24 and /opt/rh/rh-php70.  Httpd24 gets installed as a systemd service called "httpd24-httpd.service", ie. "systemctl status -l httpd24-httpd.service".

Good luck!

Cheers, John Roberts

Subject: Best option for php version 7?

I want to set up a web server with PHP version 7, preferrably 7.1 or 
newer, which is not available in SL or EPEL.  What is the best (i.e. 
stable and kept up-to-date) place to get it?

thanks,
