Doubt about update of PHP in the VPS...

[nos]

Hello, I have a Web mounted on XenForo with multiple AddOns. The web is in a VPS that runs CentOS and I want to update the PHP.

My doubt, if I update the PHP, can I have incompatibility problems or something? That is, can the Web stop working for this update?

I have CentOS 7 and I want to move from PHP 5.4 to 5.6


Greetings.

You'll have no issues. I've run 5.6, 7.0 and 7.1 will no problem.

Okey, what command do you recommend me for update the PHP?.


Thanks.

Do you only have cli access? No panel?

While some people will scream you should run the latest unstable version of 7.1. There is no reason not to update to 5.6.

And what command do you recommend me for update the PHP? .

Assuming you are using a repo with 5.6 on it...

yum upgrade php*

What snapshots do you want?.

A snapshot is another term for taking a backup of the VPS.
