What is the correct way to install PHP7? It does not seem to be in any of the main SLES Repositories. There is a version in the [opensuse.org](http://opensuse.org) OBS repository but I’m having issues with it and am wondering if there is a better supported option. Thanks Roger ---

I believe PHP7 is available via the Web and Scripting module for the former but not for the latter. If it is running SLES12 SP1 was it perhaps upgraded from SLES12 (SP0)? ## HTH.

> [@RogerIThomas;34561](#): > > What path(s) are you using with ‘zypper addrepo’ to gain access to “SLE-Module-Web-Scripting12-Updates for x86\_64 SP1” Hi I use SUSE Manager (so it’s a local repo), but if you log into SCC and check the system subscription it will show the mirror credentials and URL’s. Maybe subscribed to the wrong channel… Might be easier to nuke the current Web Subscription repos and add the product back with SUSEConnect pointing at SP1. ---

Well thanks for you replies, at least they have helped me prove that I’m not going mad. Within SCC I have my active subscription for “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for x86/AMD64/Intel64”, but under the available extension products I only have “Web and Scripting Module 12” listed and not a SP1 release. So the installation process is correctly connecting to the only possible repo, its just that its an out of date repo. If you have the time could you check your SCC to see if you see a later repo listed, it maybe that SUSE have only published to accounts with SUSE Manager in place at this time. I do see downloadable rpm patch files so I can a least do a deployment by hand. ---
