Does i-MSCP support PHP7?

  • Hi all,


    I am considering to update my Debian 8.2 PHP 5.6 version to 7.0. Do you have any idea if the i-MSCP will run under PHP 7.0?



    Thanks,
    Sven


    P.S.: Sorry if this is the wrong subforum, but I didn't find anything that suits to that topic.

    With the PhpSwitcher plugin yes (currently with the Fcgid Apache2 httpd server implementation). A version with PHP-FPM support is planned for this week. Final tests are currently in progress ;)


    Edit: i-MSCP itself (the panel) is not ready for PHP 7.0. At least, we have not tested with PHP 7.0 yet). The PhpSwitcher plugin allows provide PHP 7.0 (and also 4.4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6) for your customers without changing default PHP version that is provided by Debian.


    Edit: Thread moved to i-MSCP support area / General discussion

  • Hi,


    wow, thanks for the quick answer. I didn't know about the PHP Switcher Plugin. So, I think I killed two birds with one stone. Keep PHP 5.6 in the system to break nothing essential and use PHP7 performance improvements for my site.


    As I am no PHP developer: what is the difference between PHP FPM and PHP Fcgid?


    Thanks,
    Sven

    Both Fcgid and PHP-FPM are FastCGI processes managers. Fcgid is an Apache module while FPM is provided by PHP itself.


    Generally, FPM provides better performances (better processes management).
