LAMP on DigitalOcean upgrade php to php7.0
Start with add repositories
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
but if you have some error about UTF-8 fix by
$ locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 $ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 $ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
and update apt-get
$ apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade
Install New PHP Versions
$ sudo apt-get install php7.0
install apache mod package with
$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.0
Now I could run sudo a2dismod php5 for disable php5 and enable php7 with.
$ sudo a2dismod php5 $ sudo a2enmod php7.0 $ sudo service apache2 restart
test with phpinfo() and end…
