CentOS 7.9 Core PHP 7.2 to 7.4 Upgrade

[thaubein]

We are currently running on PHP version 7.2 I’m trying to get us upgraded to release 7.4, and I’m running into the following error when I validate PHP.

Steps…

yum update -y
yum install epel-release
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum list installed php*
yum remove php*
yum install --enablerepo=remi-php72 php php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-zip php-fileinfo

php -v

yum install --enablerepo=remi-php72 php php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-

Whty are you enabling 7.2?

Sorry that was a mistake on my part, copied incorrectly.

yum install --enablerepo=remi-php74 php php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-

you need to remove 7.2

grep for 7.2 and remove all the packages

rpm -qa | grep PHP

and then yum install all of the 7.4 PHP packages

The following fixed the issue, hopefully this will help others…

yum list installed php72* or rpm -aq | grep -i php72*

yum remove installed php72*

yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

yum -y install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

yum -y install yum-utils

yum-config-manager --enable remi-php74

yum update

yum install php php-cli

yum install php php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-zip php-devel php-gd php-mcrypt php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath php-json

php -v

su - librenms
./daily.sh

systemctl restart httpd
