Snipe-IT PHP 5.6 upgrade to 7.1

DustinB3403

Hey all,

I'm trying to get this sorted out as soon php 5.X will be phased out, and php7.1 will be rolling in. I attempted this a while ago and something just downright broke.

httpd was running (and is) had to revert to get things back to running as none of the apache logging was where HinchK was thinking it should be.

The process I followed can be found here (excluding having to add the repo)

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to dig for these logs (used the installation script from way back when).

Thanks in advance

How did you get PHP 5.6 on there in the first place?

The installation process from the script.

The installation process from the script.

Then there is no easy method because that uses the IUS repo and PHP 5.6 is specifically installed.

Not from me. I've only had problems when using named versions of PHP like this.

@dustinb3403 Right, you can install php71 along side php56 like this.

Then you have to tell the application which to use.

Maybe this is where I was stuck, I removed 5.6, installed 7.1 and nothing was operating. How do I get snipe-it to use 7.1?

Never looked into it.

I assume this would be the way to remove 5.x and install 7.x

# Stop httpd and mariadb
systemctl stop httpd
systemctl stop mariadb

# Remove all php and php modules
yum -y remove php*

# Add IUS Repo (Unless already added)
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/IUS-COMMUNITY-GPG-KEY

# Install PHP 7.1
yum -y install php71u php71u-mysqlnd php71u-bcmath php71u-cli php71u-common php71u-embedded php71u-gd php71u-mbstring php71u-mcrypt php71u-ldap php71u-json php71u-simplexml

# Start httpd and mariadb
systemctl start httpd
systemctl start mariadb

Potentially, but brute force is never a fun thing.

Instead of upgrading, why not move to a fresh box with working PHP 7.1? Keep the two separate, just copy over the database.

Um... reinstall what? It only takes a minute. And if you scripted, or followed a script, or used Ansible, Salt, etc. it's just a push of a button away.

I've been doing it like this for everything but plex at home to get the kinks out before I migrate.

Yeah, a key thing I do for installs is do a test run and then do the final via automation so that I can always recreate at any time.

The scripted install uses PHP 5.6 on CentOS 7.

He would need to move to Fedora to get around that.

I just installed Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 the other day via the install.sh script and it's running PHP 7.1.13. The script kept failing on Fedora 27.

Damnit, I had it all workign. Did someone update snipe.sh again?
