Step 3
Restart apache server and check php version via command :
service httpd restart php -v
It giving error in install php7.2
checking for cURL 7.10.5 or greater… configure: error: cURL version 7.10.5 or later is required to compile php with cURL support
in which OS you’re trying and why you’ve using such outdated curl ?

Hi,
I tested cwp on ip (without making any account) and it was working. Now i created one account and trying to install wp. PHP is not working for new account/user. I tested two files. One php and html. html is working fine. Please suggest what to do. I tried everything on this blog and on cwp forum.
Thanks,

Hi SANDY
Thank you for your great tutorial.
Update buttons in YUM manager are inactive in CWP ( they only available in Pro ).
Is possible update manually? if yes, how?
Just run this command
yum update
Thanks a lot
Works fine
No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
You’re doing wrong or missed some steps
To Uninstall any php version? which commandline?
Hello James,
the process will be automatic, it will be replaced by the php version which you’re installing
Thank you so much. I have used a lot of your tutorials. I’ve bookmarked your website and keep coming back for more. Can you do a tutorial on how we can add memcached to php in “PHP Selector”? With PHP Switcher, we have the options to add all the extensions and so on but in PHP Selector we don’t have that option. I already installed memcached and redis with PHP Switcher but it doesn’t work for other PHP versions from the PHP Selector.
Hello TN,
soon i’ll post the tutorial
Thank you. I will be looking for it.
here you go :
