Hello everyone,
I just searched the forum but haven't found an answer. As php5.6 is becoming more and more outdated, I wanted to upgrade it to version 7.1.During the first setup, the installer asked me which version. Unfortunately, I chose 5.6. Now when rerunning the setup, I don't get the option anymore to install 7.1. I don't want to spoil my actual environnement, but I haven't found a HowTo to safely upgrade. So any help is appreciated.
Is it a good idea to install 7.1 for everyone or should I stick with phpswitcher?
You need rerun the distribution installer with the --reconfigure option and php item:
As long as you provide older PHP versions (5.6 , 7.0) to your clients through the PhpSwitcher plugin, that should be OK. Regarding PHP versions that are not longer supported by upstream PHP team (5.3 , 5.4, 5.5), the choice is up to you.
