PHP Upgrade across servers to 7.2.x - Shared/Reseller Hosting Only

  • November 30, 2018 by Tech #1

Dear Clients,

PHP 5.6 will be reaching its end of support at the end of 2018. The last php upgrade that we did was way back in 2018 (from php 5.3 to 5.4)

CPanel has recommended upgrade to PHP 7.2.x to apply some of the security fixes and enjoy its performance benefits. As you may be aware, some of your web application may not be compatible with this new version, especially those running in older or customized web applications. As such, please test your application to ensure the transition will work smoothly

We understand that this may cause some inconvenience to you. If you prefer to stay in PHP 5.6, we suggest to open us a ticket for possible customized VPS offering.

Here are some websites that documented well the changes in PHP:

1. http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.php

2. https://wpengine.com/resources/upgrading-to-php-7/ 


The planned migration of PHP will be as follow:

Indonesia Server (idc.bennykusman.com and jkt.bennykusman.com): 15 February 2019 - 11PM Singapore Time

Singapore Server (telin.bennykusman.com): 22 February 2019 - 11PM Singapore Time

US Server (la.bennykusman.com and phoenix.bennykusman.com): 1 March 2019 - 11PM Singapore Time


If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email support@sosys.net


Thank you


Kind Regards,
