Nexcess offers a PHP upgrade tool within my.nexcess.net to help evaluate and complete a successful PHP upgrade. The upgrade tool will scan your entire site and let you know if your site is compatible with the upgrade. If not, it will send you an email to let you know what to update in your site to make your upgrade seamless. We will walk you through upgrading to PHP 7.0 in this article.

  1. Log in to my.nexcess.net.
  2. Click on dashboard to open the site you wish to upgrade PHP from the portal.
  3. In the portal Environment tab it will show the PHP version. Select the PHP version in the dropdown. Select the PHP version you want to change it to. 
  4. A popup will display which will allow you to change the PHP version on your site.
  5. If any PHP conflicts are found when running the compatibility check then a message will display in the portal. 
  6. When the PHP version change has been made the PHP version will be reflected in the portal environment tab of your site. 

Once your upgrade is complete your site will run faster & be far safer.
