Linux Installation Manual: Section PHP; Should all "PHP 7.2" be "PHP 7.4"?

[Kerry Skinner]

Hi, 

I'm currently going through the installation manual for AtoM. I'm having some trouble in sub-section "PHP". Should all instances of PHP 7.2 simply be changed to PHP 7.4 throughout this section? 

Kind regards,

Kerry

Hi Kerry, 

Not for the current 2.6 releases, no. We have been aiming to upgrade to PHP 7.4 for the 2.7 release, but if you try using it now, you may encounter some bugs due to breaking changes in the PHP versions that haven't yet been addressed in the AtoM code.

Hi.

I'm trying to use the recommended PHP 7.2. However I'm having trouble getting it from the repository.  I have confirmed that I'm using Universal and Main but I'm getting the following errors:

  ~$ sudo apt install php7.2-cli php7.2-curl php7.2-json php7.2-ldap php7.2-mysql php7.2-opcache php7.2-readline php7.2-xml php7.2-fpm php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xsl php7.2-zip php-apcu

Where should I be looking for PHP 7.2? Has it been removed since security support is over? 

Kind regards,

Kerry

Hi Kerry, 

I'm guessing you're using Ubuntu 20.04 - we also haven't tested this Ubuntu version with 2.6, but I suspect it will be fine. PHP 7.2 is no longer the default in 20.04, so you'll need to install from a separate PPA if you want to use that version. See for example the response in this thread: 

• https://askubuntu.com/questions/1230869/cant-install-php-7-2-on-ubuntu-20-04
  

We'll also be upgrading AtoM to use Ubuntu 20.04 in the 2.7 release.
