lsphp74 on Ubuntu 24.04

[Walster]

Hi all,

I've recently migrated all my sites to an Ubuntu 24.04 base running PHP 8.x. Typically, as soon as I had done so, a client comes along with a site so old its incompatible with PHP 8.x . Previously I've been able to add lsphp74 (on 22.04) but I am unable to track down any info on if its available or indeed possible on 24.04.

Any ideas from you guys.

Many thanks.

Check the package list here: https://rpms.litespeedtech.com/debian/pool/main/noble/. As you can see, the oldest PHP package available for Ubuntu 24.04 on LS repo list is version 8.1. You may want to upgrade the site to support PHP 8, or you could try building PHP 7 on Ubuntu 24.04 yourself, but be aware that you might run into package dependency issues.

Thank for the reply Cold-Egg, did see the packages only went down to 8.1. Didnt really want to go down the Remi repo route and build for a site thats not been updated in 10 years with plugins that are no longer available. New build is the way.

Thanks again.

Hi @Cold-Egg,

I'm experiencing a similar issue with Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) and Noble (24.04) on arm64 architecture. It seems that packages like lsphp74-mysql, lsphp74-opcache, lsphp74-curl, lsphp74-intl, lsphp74-imap, and lsphp74-ldap are missing from the arm64 package list, although they are available in the amd64 package list.

As far as I understand, these packages were available previously but have been removed recently. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

 

[Cold-Egg]

The packages you mentioned should still be available for the Ubuntu 22.04 arm64 system, please confirm once more. As for Ubuntu 24.04, there has never been an lsphp74-* build available.

Some package such as lsphp74-redis exists in Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy, but not the ones im mentioning.

I checked these from here,

@imon
Please check the list, as you can see there's no php74 for Noble.
Jammy https://rpms.litespeedtech.com/debian/pool/main/jammy/
Noble https://rpms.litespeedtech.com/debian/pool/main/noble/

@Cold-Egg I'm aware that the packages exists, but apt cannot install it directly.

Command I'm running
```
apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends lsphp74 lsphp74-common lsphp74-mysql lsphp74-opcache lsphp74-curl lsphp74-intl lsphp74-imagick lsphp74-redis lsphp74-igbinary lsphp74-imap lsphp74-ldap
```

So it's about Ubunt 22.04 arm64 system with PHP74, I will give it a try and see how it goes.

 

[Cold-Egg]

Since I have Ubuntu 24.04 arm64 to test only, I'm not able to confirm the issue on Ubuntu 22.04 at the moment. Could you try `apt-get update` and install the package again? If it's still not working, please submit the issue to support@litespeedtech.com for further look.
