    And this is the biggest problem with the current PHP cycle. There is no LTS version.
    PHP cycle is to short.

    With customized software, you can't always upgrade.
    Even if you really want to.

    Fortunately, there are always alternatives from third parties :)

    LTS sometimes is a myth - software and code is ever evolving and it depends on the environment it operates in and that can change over time with factors outside the LTS developers control.

    LTS for me is the key factor just like the Linux kernel.

    Edge and LTS.

    Something for everyone.

    Based on Edge (Fedora) or LTS code (RHEL), a supplier such as Red Hat can then offer a product within a controlled environment with hard guarantees.

    Again something for everyone.

    1.9.x
    10.1.x
    5.6.40 is official from PHP team or is a security backport from Remi. If im not mistaken, Remi does that for some time with EOL versions.

    From the PHP team.
    5.6 apparently has a serious problem, since it is EOL.
    You rarely see this kind of releases after EOL.

    not related to Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) as can be reviewed over here PHP PHP : List of security vulnerabilities

    It seems to me that it is important but not urgent. Otherwise it was certainly mentioned at CVE or the PHP changelog with CVE-number.

    I updated to 7.2.14 and got 502 error.

    Open php-fpm.conf
    Change
    Code:
    ;include=/usr/local/nginx/conf/phpfpmd/*.conf
    To
    Code:
    include=/usr/local/nginx/conf/phpfpmd/*.conf
    And it works again.
    (this for people who don't have time to search reason for 502) :D

    There may be other changes too...

    did you get a prompt to overwrite php-fpm.conf ? it could be you have custom settings and overwriting reset them.

    I'm quite sure, I didn't get prompt about overwrite.
