Greetings //Edit Hmh...dont changed anything..phpinfo() now says again its php5....any idea?
Nobody ? It would be enough when anybody can say me how to configure php7 as multi php version - i would activate it for all customers.
If you run Nginx as webserver, you can add a different fastcgi_pass value to different virtual hosts. This parameter can be the PHP7 socket or the PHP5.6 socket. Es. for PHP7 fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php7.0-fpm.sock; for PHP5.6 fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php5-fpm.sock; In this way, you can specify which is the php version to be run. Regards, L.
Hi. Just from personal experience about a month ago on a LAMP ubuntu 14.04 server, I highly recommend to not try removing php5. Just redirect everything to php7, but do not uninstall anything. Regards
