Since a long time PHP 5.6 is EOL and does not receive any further updates, not even security updates.
It´s time to update the emps stack to a modern version of php.This need to be done by virtualizor. (because of code checking, re-encrypt files with ioncube and so on)

Hi,

Sir we have committed the mysql related chnages and it will be there in 3.0.4

Once it is out we can update the EMPS to latest verison of PHP.

So you can say that the wait is about to finish.
Sorry for the delay in process.

Hey.

The update is now released but when do you plan now to update PHP and other 3rd Party Software like MySQL? I would really prefer it to use updated software and not already long time outdated one.

Thanks
JanDragon

This is very worrying.
The version of php 5.6 already had its end of life in January 2019n and are you still planning the change ?

Virtualizor is a great tool, but it needs to update itself more frequently and optimize its performance.

Hi,

Sir PHP 7.4 is out now.

Where can I do the update?
Is there any procedure?

Hi,

You can view the updated version of php on Configuration->Server info page.
If its not updated yet, then you can wait for the cron to execute.
You can view emps upgrade cron time in cron file :

cat /etc/cron.d/virtualizor

Or you can use the command manually to update to new EMPs on your servers :

(check version)
cat /usr/local/emps/version (must be 4.0)

/usr/local/emps/bin/php /usr/local/virtualizor/scripts/emps.php upgrade

(check updated version)
cat /usr/local/emps/version (should be 4.1)

Hello Guys,
we got the Problem, that your Admin Interface on Port 4085 is blank. a simple white-page. After checking the logs we find out, that we got problems with the ioncube loader. we tried to run an virtualisor upgrade via ssh, but it does't work for sure..
/temp/ioncube# /usr/local/emps/bin/php /usr/local/virtualizor/scripts/emps.php upgrade
PHP Fatal error: The file /usr/local/virtualizor/scripts/emps.php was encoded by the ionCube Encoder for PHP 5.6 and cannot run under PHP 7.1 or later.
Please ask the provider of the script to provide a version encoded with the ionCube Encoder for PHP 7.1. in Unknown on line 0
root@h2873823:~/temp/ioncube# cat /usr/local/emps/version
4.1

we checket the php.ini. where the ioncube loader 5.3.so is loaded.

any ideas? (i already copied the ionloader 5.6 to the same location of the 5.3.so file and changed the version in php.ini file. but after a restart we got the following error:
root@h2873823:~/temp/ioncube# /usr/local/emps/bin/fpmctl restart
