In this tutorial we’ll cover php 7.3 installation manually via commands on CWP server, it is pretty easy to build the php from source which will drastically increase the performance and stability. To build from source/manually you need to follow this tutorial step by step to achieve php 7.3 version installation. PHP 7.3 required addition configs like libzip please follow the tutorial step by step (don’t miss any)
PHP 5.6/7.0/7.1/7.2 : https://www.uxlinux.com/how-to-install-build-php-5-6-7-0-7-1-7-2-manually-on-cwp-centos-web-panel/
Step 1
Install the dependencies :
yum -y install gcc make gcc-c++ cpp kernel-headers.x86_64 libxml2-devel openssl-devel bzip2-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel freetype-devel openldap-devel postgresql-devel aspell-devel net-snmp-devel libxslt-devel libc-client-devel icu libicu libicu-devel gmp-devel curl-devel libmcrypt-devel pcre-devel sqlite-devel db4-devel enchant-devel libXpm-devel mysql-devel readline-devel libedit-devel recode-devel libtidy-devel libtool-ltdl-devel
Step 2
Install EPEL :
yum install epel-release
Then install some more dependencies and remove the libzip package :
rpm -e --nodeps libzip libzip-devel yum -y install cmake3 cmake zlib-devel --enablerepo=epel
Installing Latest version Libzip from source :
cd /usr/local/src rm -rf libzip* wget https://libzip.org/download/libzip-1.5.1.tar.gz tar zxvf libzip* cd libzip* mkdir build cd build /usr/bin/cmake3 .. make && make install
Step 3
Installing php 7.3:
rm -rf /usr/local/php-7-3 mkdir -p /usr/local/php-7-3 cd /usr/local/php-7-3 wget http://php.net/distributions/php-7.3.25.tar.gz tar zxvf php-7.3.25.tar.gz cd php-7.3.25 ./configure --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php --with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/php/php.d --with-zlib=/usr --enable-mbstring --enable-zip --enable-bcmath --enable-pcntl --enable-ftp --enable-exif --enable-calendar --enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-wddx --with-tidy --with-curl --with-iconv --with-gmp --with-pspell --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --enable-gd-jis-conv --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr --with-openssl --with-pdo-mysql=/usr --with-gettext=/usr --with-bz2=/usr --with-mysqli --enable-soap --enable-phar --with-xsl --with-xmlrpc --with-kerberos --enable-posix --enable-sockets --with-pcre-regex --with-libdir=lib64 --with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --enable-shmop --enable-intl --with-icu-dir=/usr --with-imap --with-imap-ssl --with-litespeed --with-pgsql=/usr/lib64/pgsql --with-pdo-pgsql make && make install
Step 4
Restart apache server and check php version via command :
service httpd restart php -v
Please note you don’t need to run every time STEP 1 and STEP 2 if you done it previously.
Hello,
I am facing the following error “virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
make: *** [ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.lo] Error 1”. When i am trying to execute the command “make && make install”.
Any suggestions?
Hi its due too low ram, you need to create swap memory try this tutorial
https://www.uxlinux.com/create-and-add-swap-on-linux-os-cwp-centos-webpanel-and-vesta-cp/
I got some error “configure: error: PDO_MYSQL configure failed, MySQL 4.1 needed. Please check config.log for more information.
” can you help me?
Hello Fauzan,
I was facing the same error, the below mentioned point worked for me:
find the line –with-pdo-mysql=/usr and replace /usr with mysqlnd
result: –with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd
Is it possible to install PHP 7.3 for a directory with PHP 7.2 already installed for the rest?
This function was taken, a shame.
yes possible for that you need php selector/fpm, this can be done only when you’ve pro license.
É possível instalar o PHP 7.3 para um diretório com o PHP 7.2 já instalado para o restante?
Essa função foi tirada, uma pena.
Hi sandeep, thx for the tutorial.
A question, do you know how can I install pdo-dblib? since in the same cwp forums a lot of ppl asked but noone could get it done.
Thx
hi you can post the request in the forum : https://forum.mysterydata.com/
Hi,
I ran every command without any issue and at last the command “php -v” still shows php 5.6
[root@servconfig php-7.3.16]# php -v
PHP 5.6.37 (cli) (built: Jul 20 2018 06:10:33)
Check the build output for the php where it is failing. Ensure you’ve atleast 1.5-2 gb of ram available.
Configuring extensions
checking for strings.h… (cached) yes
checking io.h usability… no
checking io.h presence… no
checking for io.h… no
checking for strtoll… yes
checking for atoll… yes
checking whether to enable LIBXML support… yes
checking libxml2 install dir… no
checking for xml2-config path…
checking for pkg-config… /usr/bin/pkg-config
configure: error: libxml2 not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.
Install this pacakges and try again
yum install libxml2-devel libxml2
how to add also php-fpm ?
I followed this tutorial but now I get an error 500 when accessing my wordpress site.
The web error log is:
[Tue Mar 03 11:16:53.055631 2020] [:error] [pid 10392:tid 140492691740416] [client 193.57.40.38:41874] Caused by SystemException in API_Linux.cpp:444: execve() for program "/opt/alt/php56/usr/bin/php-cgi" failed: No such file or directory

it seems you’re low on ram and php build are failing, check the php build log

Hi, Thanks for great tutorials. I’ve created a list of your tutorials for CWP Manuals. I’m a newbee for control panels and server planet.
There are some points which I couldn’t understand those ;
1-Why do I need CWP if I can do it manually some important part of it.
2-Can I still control them with CWP Panel If I folllow your php, redis or memcahed tuorials which are explained cleanly on your website.
3-On the other hand, cwp is out of date. For example , Redis comes V:3.x(Latest version:5.x) postgresql comes with V:9x (Latest version:11.x). phpPGadmin is not stable and has problems.
Do you advice to install redis and postgresql manually…
Thanks
sudo rpm -e –nodeps libzip
getting result:
error: package libzip is not installed
this is normal, the command will remove if libzip is installed
Hey nach langem qualvollem testen u. fehlversuchen, habe ich mal deine Version probiert.
Echt Super u. einfach , vielen Dank für dein Tutorial, einfacher gehts wirklich nicht mehr.. 😉
Thank you so much for the tutorial.
I encountered this
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory make: *** [ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.lo] Error 1
and solved it by adding –disable-fileinfo at the end on the ./configure command
i.e
./configure –with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php –with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/php/php.d –with-zlib=/usr –enable-mbstring –enable-zip –enable-bcmath –enable-pcntl –enable-ftp –enable-exif –enable-calendar –enable-sysvmsg –enable-sysvsem –enable-sysvshm –enable-wddx –with-tidy –with-curl –with-iconv –with-gmp –with-pspell –with-gd –with-jpeg-dir=/usr –with-freetype-dir=/usr –with-png-dir=/usr –enable-gd-jis-conv –with-zlib-dir=/usr –with-xpm-dir=/usr –with-openssl –with-pdo-mysql=/usr –with-gettext=/usr –with-bz2=/usr –with-mysqli –enable-soap –enable-phar –with-xsl –with-xmlrpc –with-kerberos –enable-posix –enable-sockets –with-pcre-regex –with-libdir=lib64 –with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock –enable-shmop –enable-intl –with-icu-dir=/usr –with-imap –with-imap-ssl –with-litespeed –with-pgsql=/usr/lib64/pgsql –with-pdo-pgsql –disable-fileinfo
