I would like to update PHP 7.0.2.6 to the latest 7.2 version on my CentOS 7 server (with DirectAdmin installed) via SSH. I found many procedures on the internet, but none of them seems to work. I was told the procedure should look like this:

1. yum install epel-release


2. rpm -Uvh http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
   


3. yum list installed php*


4. yum remove php*


5. yum install --enablerepo=remi-php72 php php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl


6. php-mysql php-ldap php-zip php-fileinfo


7. php -v

I get stuck with step 4, giving the result below. Any thoughts what could be the issue here?

[root@vps ~]# yum list installed php*

Additional information:

[root@vps ~]# dir -A

.bash_logout epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm setup-ius.sh
.bash_profile .pki .spamassassin
.bashrc remi-release-7.rpm .ssh
.cshrc remi-release-7.rpm.1 .tcshrc

Result step 5:

On DirectAdmin's site, it specifically states not to install or upgrade PHP (or Apache) via the package manager.

Instead, you will need to do it via the CustomBuild script.

There are instructions at this link and I'll give an overview in case the link changes or becomes unavailable:

https://www.transip.eu/knowledgebase/entry/420-directadmin-want-update-the-version/

cd to where the custombuild directory is located which will contain the build script.

Run ./build version to make sure that it is version 2.0. If it is, then skip this next part. If it's not, then

mv custombuild custombuild_1.x
wget -O custombuild.tar.gz http://files.directadmin.com/services/custombuil/2.0/custombuild.tar.gz
tar xvzf custombuild.tar.gz
cd custombuild

Update PHP

./build set php1_release 7.2
./build update
./build php d

Check the software versions to make sure that PHP has been updated:

./build versions

httpd will normally restart but if it doesn't, you can do it manually.

Try - yum list installed | grep php
