Can I update this zabbix?

[renanrdrigues]

Someone has updated PHP and it's showing a lot of errors, I'm not an expert in Linux or PHP to try to fix it, but I wanted to know if updating everything could at least work some things that are having problems.


Zabbix 3.2.7
PHP 7.2.34
CentOS 7

Hiho, houly moly! ;O

For Zabbix 3.2 the required PHP version is 5.4 or later, but we are in 2025...
I don't know all release dates, but i think without a time machine or being an Zabbix Dev, the easier solution is unistall any PHP package, reinstall PHP 5.4, restart everything and cross fingers

Obs.: if you have your Zabbix on VM with backup or snapshot, you can restore it. If you haven't that is the perfect time to think about disaster recovery. Maybe use containers, implement a cluster...

Hope you can solve this or someone know another way. Good luck!

do you have a tutorial on how I can remove php and install it again?

I have a backup of the VM.

To list PHP installed packages on CentOS

#rpm -qa | grep php

Once you know the php “package(s) name(s)”, remove them

#rpm -e PackageName
