I am trying to install MediaWiki 1.27 on CentOS7.2. CentOS7.2 comes with php 5.4. However, at least 5.5.9 is required for MediaWiki 1.27.

I have installed and enabled rh-php56 from SCL repo which installed php5.6 in parallel with CentOS stock php5.4.

Unfortunately, MediaWiki still gives me an error that I am running php5.4. Is there a way I can point MediaWiki to start using the newer php5.6 instead? Or am I better off replacing the stock php5.4 with php5.6 from Remi's repository?

Thank you!

  • Software Collections being a bit of a pain to work with sometimes, I always use Remi repo. But this is mostly asking for an opinion. – Michael Hampton Sep 07 '16 at 21:00

As answered on CentOS forum

If you use mod_php and have both php (base version) and rh-php56-php, only the first will be loaded, so need to be disable (comment the LoadModule in 10-php.conf) or uninstall it

If you use FPM, you have to stop php-fpm service and start the rh-php56-php-fpm service.
