PHP 7.4 Update for Linux

Marcos Feliciano 1

How do I update PHP minor versions?

According to a previous post, the PHP minor version update for 7.4 (For Windows) would be rolled out to app services in February 2020.

At present time, August 2020, it is not available for Linux yet or either I was not able to fine any doc informing that, a web app I'm running in East US is still showing as version 7.2.13.

From command line az webapp list-runtimes --linux, I still don't see the version 7.4 available for Linux, only for Windows

Do I have to undertake any specific action for the minor version upgrade to roll out to my instance?

Apologies if this is documented somewhere, I've not been able to find or locate the relevant docs.

Hi @Marcos Feliciano ,

You're correct, PHP 7.4 for Linux is not yet available. Also, 7.4 and 7.3 are actually "major" versions. 7.3.31 would be considered a minor version (the .31). There should be an announcement made on the App Service Team Blog when it becomes available for Linux.

How to update your app to target a different version of PHP: The version of PHP provided by app service can be modified through the Azure Portal: Configuration>General Settings>Stack Settings>Minor Version

Hope that helps.

Hi Grace,

Thank you so much for your reply, I went to the setting path you gave me, but this option is not available for me.

I'm looking the official documentation on this settings, but I'm not being able to find, would be able to help on sharing the documentation on that or passing the commands to accomplish the upgrade, as I'm being able to find either.

This option used to be a drop-down on the same path you provided, but now it not available and with CLI 2.0 didn't find yet the correct commands and properties.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

7.4 is a minor version, 7 is a major version.
7.4.X or any X.X.X are patch versions as far as I know.
Otherwise I would recommend an update of the UI in Azure portal (and elsewhere).
The absence of 7.4 is starting to send bad signals i respect of Linus App Services in Azure.

Should say 7.4 is a minor version, 7 is a major version.
