I upgrade my PHP in LAMP Ubuntu 14 server to PHP 7 following the tutorial - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-php-7-on-ubuntu-14-04
However after testing the application for 2 days, I wanted to downgrade it back to the original php version because of many unexpected errors in composer packages.

Would be helpful if anyone can share the details.
From php5.6 to php7.0:
Apache:
sudo a2dismod php5.6 ; sudo a2enmod php7.0 ; sudo service apache2 restart
CLI:
sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.0
From php7.0 to php5.6:
Apache:
sudo a2dismod php7.0 ; sudo a2enmod php5.6 ; sudo service apache2 restart
CLI:
sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php5.6
This worked for me:
edit nginx conf to run php5:
change: fastcgipass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock
to: fastcgipass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
sudo apt-get update
install php5:
sudo apt-get install php5-fpm php5-mysql
This work fine for me
From php5.6 to php7.0 :
Apache:
sudo a2dismod php5.6 ; sudo a2enmod php7.0 ; sudo service apache2 restart
CLI:
update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.0
from php7.0 to php5.6 :
Apache:
sudo a2dismod php7.0 ; sudo a2enmod php5.6 ; sudo service apache2 restart
CLI:
sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php5.6
I am getting this error while installing php5-fpm on ubuntu 16.04 nginx server after removing php7 Package php5-fpm is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
Package php5-MySQL is not available but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

E: Package 'php5-fpm' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'php5-mysql' has no installation candidate
Your image doesn't seem to show any problems other than the misspelling of the package name (it's php7.0).
This worked for me
