Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is missing lsphp71

[Idaho]

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, LSWS deb repo is:

deb http://rpms.litespeedtech.com/debian/ focal main

Oldest PHP version in focal repo is lsphp72. I couldn't see any information that on Ubuntu 20.04 (which is supported by LS) any PHP version older than 7.2 is not supported.

Is there any way to install lsphp71 on focal?

Ubuntu 20.04 does not support LSPHP71. If you need to use lsphp71 I'd recommend either updating your scripts or switching your distro to Ubuntu 18/CentOS 7.

PHP71 in general is EOL and not receiving any security updates and using it is a security hazard and not recommended.

Thank you for confirming. It seems that LSWS documentation should be updated, because it says:

"All versions from php52 to php56 and php70 to php74 are available."

Thank you for confirming. It seems that LSWS documentation should be updated, because it says:

Documentation isn't wrong. LiteSpeed supports all listed PHP versions, but if OS doesn't then it is not a fault of LSWS.

I disagree. Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't support PHP 7.0 but lsphp70 is available on Ubuntu 18.04. LS run it's own repo, it's up to LS what PHP versions are in it. Ondrej's PPA allows to install PHP 7.1 on Ubuntu 20.04, so it's possible. Lack of lsphp71 on focal is LS decision and it's not based on technical reasons.
