Change Composer PHP Version Path Plesk

RESOLVED :

For plesk users you need to make nano .bash_profile when you are in the file add this line : 

PATH=/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin:$PATH

it will work for ssh users !!

for root ssh user you can do : 

export PATH=/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin:$PATH;

Hope it will help

I try to say to composer that now he needs to look on the php version 7.1 wish is installed on my plesk serveur.

how i could do this ? i am not a pro in commands line.. i think i need to add this line

export PATH=/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin:$PATH; in my .bashrc file but i really don’t know how to access to this and how to add the line.

hope someone could help me for this, thanks a lot in advance.

Actually i need to do manualy this to update composer :

export PATH=/opt/plesk/php/7.1/bin:$PATH; php composer.phar update

    A slightly alternative version if it may help anyone:

    Create an alias for composer and store it in /etc/profile.d (so it is available to all users)

    cd /etc/profile.d
nano composer7.sh

    In your file put this (adjusting for version & composer location):

    alias composer7='/opt/plesk/php/7.0/bin/php /usr/local/bin/composer.phar'

    Save the file and login again.

    Your script can now be used from command line even if your installation of Plesk is running a different version of php. Now you can execute it like:

    composer7 update

    I had the same problem with both Composer and WP CLI in a Plesk Onyx environment

    Problem 1
    – This package requires php ^7.2 but your PHP version (5.4.16) does not satisfy that requirement.

    And something similar when trying to run WP CLI 

    php -v

    PHP 7.2.23 (cli) (built: Sep 27 2019 11:40:34) ( NTS )

    Solved it with a symlink like so,

    after loggin in on the right domain with ssh:

    cd /usr/bin
mv php php_OLD
ln -s /opt/plesk/php/7.2/bin/php php

    and after testing cleaning up:

    rm php_OLD

    I discoverd only very slowly that the php binary which both applications use is in /usr/bin

    So what the code does is:

    • go to that directory
    • rename php for backup purpose
    • create a symlink to the correct path of the right plesk php binary

    worked instantly

    hope this helps someone to solve this puzzle quicker than I did…
