How to enable a second PHP version for one site

How-to Websites and PHP phpphp-fpmversionslicense

Install extra PHP versions from the provider repository and choose a version per site; needs a License.

The Free tier runs one PHP version, switchable at any time. With a License you can run several versions side by side and choose one per site.

Steps

1. Make sure the node has a License (apply one).
2. In Server, PHP, enable the provider's package repository. The installer configures it but leaves it disabled, and enabling it is an explicit admin action.
3. Install the extra version you need from that repository.
4. Set the node's default version in the same screen. It is used when a site does not choose its own.
5. Open Websites, site, PHP options and pick the version for that site.
6. Reload the site and check the version in a phpinfo() page you delete afterwards.

On the command line, panel manejador-php fpm shows or sets the handler.

What to know

• Each client runs its own PHP-FPM master per version, under its own user, with its own opcache.
• If the license lapses the node consolidates to one version (details).
• Per-site extensions are managed under Access, PHP extensions.
