What issues are you running in to when trying to upgrade versions?
Upgrading PHP, or any software, often requires full removal of the existing packages to prevent the potential for package conflicts. More often than not, if you miss just one package, you’ll still end up hitting a wall with a package conflict.
I primarily use Ubuntu, and I find
apt(orapt-get) to make the process a little easier, though it’s not really all that different withyumand/ordnf.best of luck.
Im very sorry for the late reply @jtittle I resetted it and was having toruble with sessions but after days of work I finally got it working ?
Do you work for DigitalOcean or just a good samaritan? so far you have been very helpful.
Thx for the reply anyways and I suspect I might need your expertise in the future.
