Centos 7 nginx php upgrading

Question

My currently running website works great and it currently using php 5.4.45 FPM/FastCGI, however I would like to upgrade to php 5.5.9+ for an api documentation subdomain that has that php requirement. after searching and trying different things for about 4 hours now and getting the result with yum update that no packages are found I'm not sure what to do? if I view available packages they are there yet if I try to updates I have no updates available..am I doing something wrong?

ok i got it to install but now I have a bad gateway error and it still says Im using 5.4.45 even tho 5.5.31 installed

Probably the PHP 5.5.9 packages have a different name from the php 5.4 packages, exactly to prevent people from accidentally upgrading to a different PHP release with `yum update` ; you may need to do something something like `yum install php-5.5`. I'm not quite sure exactly what you need. Do you want to have both the 5.4 and the 5.5 releases installed? — HBruijn, Jan 15 '16 at 09:45
well i got it to update i think using yum --noplugins --enablerepo=epel update and now my servers broken bad gateway error, — loveroflua, Jan 15 '16 at 09:49
Please use [Markdown](http://serverfault.com/editing-help) and/or the formatting options in the edit menu to properly type-set your posts to improve their readability. When you use cut-and-paste for posting console output please format it as "`code`" That improves readability immensely. — HBruijn, Jan 15 '16 at 10:47
I've been trying to figure how to do this formatting code thing forever here still don't understand it, i just press code and then paste and never works. — loveroflua, Jan 15 '16 at 10:49
Paste, then select the pasted section with your mouse and select `code` , or start a line with four spaces and it will be code, or use one of the limited html tags and place your console output between `

` :) — HBruijn, Jan 15 '16 at 11:42

Install the repo's

rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/epel-release.rpm
rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm

Remove any already installed package from the official repo's

yum remove php-*

Install the package from the external package

yum install php56w php56w-opcache php56w-fpm php56w-mysql

Then restart fpm.

did this and it installed version 5.6 of php but still says 5.4.45 when i do -v – loveroflua Jan 15 '16 at 10:32
Did you install from source ? – SvennD Jan 15 '16 at 11:01
I don't understand what you mean I setup this whole thing from google, I really have no idea what I'm doing I just need php 5.5.9+ and I cant get it lol – loveroflua Jan 15 '16 at 11:04
https://i.gyazo.com/4e25987ef212288e330505da494c37f3.png As you can see 5.6 is installed yet the website and terminal versions are 5.4 I don't understand the issue lol – loveroflua Jan 15 '16 at 11:32
follow where the binary is : "which php" then you will get some location /usr/bin/php do an ls to know where php is linked from. did you also "yum remove php-cli" ? – SvennD Jan 15 '16 at 11:36
did you also "yum remove php-cli" im afraid to do that as it may break my website again and it's hard for me to fix it, would u mind opening a private chat with me for some questions if u have time? it wants to remove the 5.6 version i installed only https://i.gyazo.com/b0146b9223967d3e3c1643ea7c280690.png – loveroflua Jan 15 '16 at 11:38
try : yum remove php-cli --disablerepo=webtatic – SvennD Jan 15 '16 at 11:58

FYI: problem solved by a big cleanup of manually installed version (built from sources), and clean installation of remi'repo RPM. – Remi Collet Jan 18 '16 at 07:58
