I had already tried that. I created a Curl script to run in a browser, so that I can see what was going on with my wordpress sites. * ``` "; echo "URL: ".$url; curl_close($ch); ?> ``` * When I run it in a browser I get this – 301 Moved Permanently nginx Curl error: 0 URL: [https://www.wordpress.org/](https://www.wordpress.org/) * Strange, right? I know this is still wordpress.org address. Yes, I can ping wordpress.org and I can nslookup wordpress.org, no problems, on my locally hosted server. So, I wanted to get /opt/rh/httpd24 out of the picture, and changed things to use the RH core httpd apache. When I switch my site back to using /etc/httpd/ with rh-php56 everything resolves well in WordPress. When I switch my site back to using /etc/httpd/ with rh-php73 wordpress.org is unreachable, or moved in WordPress. * I have a RHEL OS support case open, but thought that I would post on a WordPress Forum to see if anyone here has had this problem. Thank you for your suggestion. I do appreciate it. - This reply was modified 5 years, 3 months ago by [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/). * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [How to update mysql, php, WordPress with minimal downtime](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-mysql-php-wordpress-with-minimal-downtime/) * Thread Starter [Mgilder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgilder/) * (@mgilder) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-mysql-php-wordpress-with-minimal-downtime/#post-13698677) * Hey, thank you RossMitchell, I was able to set everything up on my servers, so that I could quickly switch to rh-mariadb102, and php56. I had backed up each site, deactivated plugins, and then scheduled 45 minutes, late at night to bring the WP sites up to a point where I could update to wordpress 5.5.3, without any problems. I completed the task with time to spare. With WP at a current revision, I am now upgrading to php74, which I was able to verify would work with my WP sites using the php checker plugin. Easy peasy. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [How to update mysql, php, WordPress with minimal downtime](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-mysql-php-wordpress-with-minimal-downtime/) * Thread Starter [Mgilder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgilder/) * (@mgilder) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-mysql-php-wordpress-with-minimal-downtime/#post-13387968) * Surely there must be someone who has WordPress running on their own server and had to upgrade their php. How do I change a wordpress site to use a different version of php than it is currently using? * “WordPress 5.5.1 requires PHP version 5.6.20 or higher. You are running version 5.4.16.” * Is there a configuration file in a wordpress site to point it to use a different php install. I do not have cpanel, or a hosted site that provides tools to do this. I would need to manually configure a site to use the different version, from php-5.4 to php-5.6 version. Any help would be great. This is beyond the scope of a redhat support question, and more related to wordpress. I found how to install and setup wordpress with php-xx.x and mysql-xx.x, and how to use cpanel to change php, but have not seen how to manually change/configure WP to use another version of php. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [How to update mysql, php, WordPress with minimal downtime](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-mysql-php-wordpress-with-minimal-downtime/) * Thread Starter [Mgilder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mgilder/) * (@mgilder) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-update-mysql-php-wordpress-with-minimal-downtime/#post-13384169) * Thank you for responding so quickly. Can I ask you one question? What about the WordPress saying to upgrade the php? “WordPress 5.5.1 requires PHP version 5.6.20 or higher. You are running version 5.4.16.” * So, I installed the Optional repository for rh-php56. How do I have one of my wordpress sites use the rh-php56, while the other sites use the php-5.4.16? * I know that the rh-php56 requires httpd24, and can configure the conf file to run under the httpd24/conf.d. Where I can run httpd for the older sites, until I upgrade them, and httpd24 for the site that I want to run php-5.6. for. * Thank you again! Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
