Hi,

Anyone running PHP 7 on RHEL 7 or CentOS 7?

I'm seeing it can be done by starting with a blank install of CentOS 7 
and basically do the following  A couple steps are left out like 
starting each and securing MariaDB.



     start out with no apache, php, or mysql/mariadb installed on Centos 
7
     run update
     run sudo yum install httpd
     run sudo yum install mariadb-server mariadb
     run rpm -Uvh 
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
     run rpm -Uvh 
https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm
     yum install php70w php70w-opcache


I think I am currently using the epel repository so no problem here.  I 
have not heard of webtatic.

Any thoughts of the down side of doing something like this on a 
production box?

Thank you for your insight.

Keith
