When laravel 6 is available, it needs php 7.2 where as my staging server has 7.1 and i don’t want to change its version as i am afraid it may break existing projects so i decided to create a new vps and for flexibility decided to go with cyber panel where we can change php versions per project but unfortunately default php version seems to be 7.1
and when i try to connect with ssh, eventhough i have set project’s php version to 7.2….ssh still complains me about php version 7.1
and the fix for it seems to be changing default php version as below
php versions are located at /usr/local/lsws/lsphpXX/bin/php
so to change default php version to 7.2, all i had to do is cp /usr/local/lsws/lsphp72/bin/php /usr/bin
and it started working 🙂
