Need help upgrading php

[rkennedy]

I will deploy a RHEL 7 VM and install Nagios XI from source. Is this a supported configuration?

Yes - the issue is getting the PHP version up to 5.6 without the repositories. While it's possible, it goes against the repositories which is what we depend on.

Where are you seeing 5.6 in the official repositories?

I just tested on Centos 6.8, and it looks like PHP is still utilizing 5.3.3 -

On CentOS 7 it appears to be php-5.4.16

Yes installation from source on CentOS/RHEL 6/7 is supported. Here is our document:

Manual Installation Instructions

RHSCL packages are not supported by Nagios. That beginning said, other users have reported success using PHP 5.6.

It is not tested or vetted in any official manner from our end, nor can we help if problems arise as a result of switching to PHP 5.6.
