What ALT-PHP versions and PHP extensions can CloudLinux v8.8.0 STANDARD kvm install?

[SAGARA]

Hello, I'm a cPanel user on the terminal.

But We've been renting a VPS for the past few years, which means I have to learn how to maintain my own WHM server.

When I see other people's cPanel virtual hosting, I want to learn how to install the same PHP version and PHP extensions, Can my OS do this?

PHP 8.0 to 8.5

Do you plan to use cPanel to sell hosting or just to host your own websites? The main purpose of CloudLinux with Hardened PHP is not just to provide different PHP versions/modules, but to provide the easy and fair way to assign resources to customers on shared hosting, and to make it more secure with CageFS.

If you want to sell shred hosting - CloudLinux OS + Hardened PHP is the option for you.

I currently only have a cPanel account using a single domain, We rented a VPS + CloudLinux + cPanel WHM simply because the virtual host couldn't accommodate my file size. (I don't think we're any different from regular cPanel users.)

However, we have indeed encountered a technical bottleneck.

I'm unsure if we have configured PHP + MariaDB correctly.

All I can say is that we need help right now.

Ah, you already have CloudLinux, that's a big difference. Installing additional PHP version is quite easy, just login to that server over ssh as root and run this commands:

yum groupinstall alt-php80

yum groupinstall alt-php83

Then check WHM > CloudLinux Manager > Selector to ensure they are enabled for end-customers (by default they are enabled, so should be good).

And so they become available to be used per hosting accounts.

Thank you for your reply.

Let me tell you about the current situation, A few days ago, my hosting company installed PHP versions 8.2 and 8.3 on PHP Selector for me.

I also installed some PHP versions and PHP extensions through EasyApache 4, This might cause a mysqli conflict between two different PHP versions.

Therefore, I will temporarily switch back to PHP 8.0 for use.

My Attachments lists the PHP Selector extensions installed by my hosting company, which differ from the extension lists installed by other hosting companies.

Can my OS version have the same PHP and extension features as everyone else?

Let me rephrase to ensure we are on the same page.

You previously had a shared cPanel account with some hosting.
Now, you rent your own VPS with CloudLinux OS and cPanel, hosting your website there.
You want to have the same PHP extensions installed as shown in the first screenshot from your previous hosting company.

Have you installed alt-php83 or alt-php84 using the commands I outlined in the previous step?

Currently, check WHM > MultiPHP Manager > System Settings for the PHP package selected for the desired PHP 8 version, and explicitly select alt-php8x there. Here is the screenshot for alt-php8.3 from our test server.
