Topic: php 5.6 module not available?
Hello,
thank you Remi for everything that you do, it's truly an invaluable resource to the Linux web hosting community.
We are following the instructions in your Wizard (thank you, very useful!), but are running into an issue. All steps were followed, but 5.6 package does not appear to be available?
Instructions in Wizard indicate:
You have to enable the module stream for 5.6:
dnf module reset php
dnf module install php:remi-5.6
However that doesn't work - looks like only 7+ is available?

Nothing to do.
Complete!

can you please let us know? As per the Wizard, 5.6 module should still be available on the Alma/Centos8 distro
(We know it is end of life and support, but we have a legacy application that we need to bring up)
thank you,
