Blesta / PHP 7.2 / Softaculous on cPanel - Solved

[katycomputer]

I have been running Blesta on a cPanel server running PHP 7.0, I'd like to get all the accounts on PHP 7.2. When you use Softaculous to install Blesta on cPanel any PHP upgrades break Blesta.

I am sharing a nice solution:

1. Wait until there is a Blesta update

2. Update server to latest PHP using EasyApache & MultiPHP Manager in WHM

3. Update Blesta script using Control Panel -> Softaculous -> Installations in CP

Everything is working - no mess, no fuss. I hope this helps someone.

What might be easier for them to implement is a PHP version check on login to blesta.  If the version has changed check if it needs to apply a patch for that version then ask, if ok, apply the patch files and continue.

What would also be good is if during install from Softaculous Blesta detects the PHP version for cPanel/that account and applies the patches itself when installing.

Softaculous detects the PHP version and applies the patches when installing Blesta, that's what allows my "solution" to work.
