How to install PHP 7 on a cPanel\/WHM Server<\/p>\n


\nmkdir php7.0
\ncd php7.0
\nwget http:\/\/php.net\/distributions\/php-7.0.1.tar.gz
\ntar -xvf php-7.0.1.tar.gz
\ncd php-7.0.<\/code>
\nRun
\n
\n.\/configure \u2013help (to see all available options first)<\/p>\n

.\/configure --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --enable-exif --enable-ftp
\n--enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-libxml --enable-mbstring --enable-pdo=shared
\n --enable-sockets --enable-zip --prefix=\/usr\/local\/php70 --with-curl=\/opt\/curlssl\/
\n --with-freetype-dir=\/usr --with-gd --with-gettext --with-imap=\/opt\/php_with_imap_client\/
\n--with-imap-ssl=\/usr --with-jpeg-dir=\/usr --with-kerberos --with-libdir=lib64
\n--with-libxml-dir=\/opt\/xml2\/ --with-mcrypt=\/opt\/libmcrypt\/ --with-mysqli
\n--with-openssl=\/usr --with-openssl-dir=\/usr --with-pcre-regex=\/opt\/pcre
\n--with-pdo-mysql=shared --with-pdo-sqlite=shared --with-pic --with-png-dir=\/usr
\n--with-xpm-dir=\/usr --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=\/usr<\/p>\n

make
\nmake test
\nmake install<\/p>\n

cd \/usr\/local\/php70\/bin
\n<\/code>
\nTo see the new version:<\/p>\n

\n.\/php -v\n\nRunning .\/php -v in the \/usr\/local\/php70\/bin folder should give you something like this:\n  \nPHP 7.0.1 (cli) (built: Dec 18 2015 03:53:53) ( NTS )\nCopyright (c) 1997-2015 The PHP Group\nZend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2015 Zend Technologies\n<\/pre>\n
Here\u2019s some simple extensions added based on the basic php.ini template<\/p>\n

\ncp -f \/usr\/local\/php7.0\/php-7.0.1\/php.ini-production \/usr\/local\/php70\/lib\/php.ini<\/p>\n
echo \"extension=pdo.so\" >> \/usr\/local\/php70\/lib\/php.ini
\necho \"extension=pdo_mysql.so\" >> \/usr\/local\/php70\/lib\/php.ini
\necho \"zend_extension=opcache.so\" >> \/usr\/local\/php70\/lib\/php.ini<\/code><\/p>\n
At this point you can delete the \/usr\/local\/php7.0 folder (the source code)<\/p>\n
Now, we need to create a configuration file for apache in order to be able to add the php7 handler so, to do that, open up a new file:
\ntouch \/usr\/local\/apache\/conf\/php7.conf<\/code>
\nand paste the code below. (Don\u2019t forget to modify the \u201cDirectory\u201d path regex to suit your needs.)<\/p>\n
        vi \/usr\/local\/apache\/conf\/php7.conf
\n        <IfModule mod_suphp.c>
\n            <Directory ~ \"home\/user\/public_html\/\">
\n                AddType application\/x-httpd-php7 .php
\n                suPHP_AddHandler application\/x-httpd-php7
\n            <\/Directory>
\n        <\/IfModule><\/code><\/p>\n
To create a new handler in supPHP open up the suphp.conf: <\/p>\n
vim \/opt\/suphp\/etc\/suphp.conf<\/code><\/p>\n
Then add the new handler using the code below, at the end of the handlers list.<\/p>\n

\n;Handler for php-scripts
\n#... existing handlers are here ... put yours below them
\napplication\/x-httpd-php7=\"php:\/usr\/local\/php70\/bin\/php-cgi\"
\n<\/code><\/p>\n
Now let\u2019s add our handlers into the EasyApache\/cPanel\/WHM configuration without breaking anything… There are two options here. You either go into WHM and edit the post_virtualhost_global.conf file from there or you just run: <\/p>\n

\nvim \/usr\/local\/apache\/conf\/includes\/post_virtualhost_global.conf
\n<\/code><\/p>\n
and add the line below in that file and you should be all done.<\/p>\n

\ninclude \/usr\/local\/apache\/conf\/php7.conf
\n<\/code><\/p>\n
Now restart Apache and enjoy!<\/p>\n

\nservice httpd restart
\n<\/code><\/p>\n
