I am about to upgrade our server to Debian 10 from 8.11 (Jessie), can anyone tell me if i will have access to installing php 5.6 for individual clients, as an example in my current build php5 is the base installation but i am able to add 7.2 and 7.3 so clients on my server casn chose the php version that want.
My isue is I have one client with an old site that needs php 5.6 and i am concerned if i upgrade and i cant get 5.6 to run on the new build his site wont work and it will be my responsability if i cant get access to 5.6.
I need to be 100% sure before i go ahead.
Thanks in advance
Any idea when 7.4 will be available on CentOS distributions?
Wordpress currently telling me I should upgrade to 7.4, but no obvious ways to do so, sadly.
Hello Declan Carey
PHP 7.4 is already available for Plesk Obsidian, CentOS starting from 7.
Due to technical compatibility limitations, PHP 7.4 won't be supported by CentOS 6.
Hello Pete Corbett
In general, the in-place upgrade to Debian 10 wasn't tested and isn't officially supported.
For you to ensure, I would suggest the following action plan:
prepare a clone of the production server or prepare a test server with a similar configuration and perform the upgrade. After the upgrade check the functionality in question and only after that upgrade your production server.
Thank you for understanding.

Hi andy huang
Probably, PHP versions higher than 7.0 are not yet installed on your server. Check our this KB article.

We have Plesk Obsidian on Debian Stretch (9) but PHP 8.1 is not available. According to this KB, it should be:
We have Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.44 Update #3.
When will PHP 8.1 be available?
