I apprently installed the old version of PHP on my Centos8 server

rtcary · 02-28-2020, 02:41 PM

I have version 7.2 installed using yum and need to uninstall it. Since I'm not a Linux guru (once I get my new version of Centos running, I'll forget it - outside of updates) I not sure how to uninstall it.

I used this yum command to install it:

yum install php php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-opcache php-gd php-xml php-mbstring -y

Can I just use

yum uninstall php

or do I need to remove other parts?

I'll be using the REMI 7.3 version.

Many takns for the assistance...

I think it's

Code:

yum remove 
or
yum erase

but man yum or yum help is where the answer lies.

You should probably remove all the packages you installed before installing the higher version.

Well, technically you should be using dnf (dandified yum) with 8.x, but yum still works, so whatever.

You can just do a

Code:

dnf remove php php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-opcache php-gd php-xml php-mbstring

, dnf (and yum that preceeded it) automatically removes any orphans that were pulled in for a package that has been removed.
