You cannot. 7.2.X is end of life, also. If you must use an older, end of life version of PHP, stick with Rocky Linux 8. ---

I have already ready/installed with entire setup, suddenly this php issue arises, I hope some solution should be there to use older php version. ---

You have three options: - Use Rocky Linux 8 - Update your code to use the current PHP version offered by Rocky Linux 10 (currently 8.3) - Use remi, but update your code to use 7.4 as 7.2 has been retired (see [this page](https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2020/12/01/PHP-7.2-is-dead)). Please see [this page](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) for supported PHP versions. ---

> [@helpinghandindia](#): > > so, what is solution for my problem The proper sollution is to set up the app in a test environment that is running the latest official rocky php, and then careully check all warnings and errors, fixing them as you go, then simply copy the app back to live. Running some half backed conainer that’s full of spyware, and has an old version of php might also appear to work, but is that really a sustainable solution? ---

To summarize - EL-8 provides PHP 7.4 and 8.2 - EL-9 provides PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 - EL-10 provides PHP 8.3 My repository provides - PHP 5.6 to 7.3 with only critical security fixes and only for EL-8 - PHP 7.4 to 8.0 with all security fixes - PHP 8.1 to 8.4 (and 8.5), the upstream supported versiond Notice: Versions below 8.1 are not supported (by PHP project), especially with modern OpenSSL 3 So using something older than 7.4 is not serious > but not succeeded. What does that mean ? For my repo, see the [Wizard](https://rpms.remirepo.net/wizard/) > Can I use docker to resolve this issue ? Yes, you can read a very old [HowTo](https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2014/12/29/running-php-fpm-in-docker) In all cases, running anything older than 7.4 is not serious. You must update your app. ---

> [@helpinghandindia](#): > > I need to use this for routing purpose. You can/should/must configure routing with NetworkManager. For example with the `nmcli` tool. (Actually, firewall rules are involved in routing and that is with FirewallD or nftables services. The FirewallD can enable packet forwarding function in kernel in some cases. If not, then sysctl.) ---

First, “how to configure network in Rocky 10” is a separate topic from “PHP”. It should be in a separate thread. Second, do not look at / modify those files (directly). Do use the NetworkManager UI (nmcli, nmtui, GUI widget) or Ansible playbook to change the configuration. ---
