[Loris-dev] Loris PHP version for CentO/S 6

[Christine Rogers]

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your message.
We are recommending installation of PHP 5.6 for best results with LORIS for
several reasons, including optimal compatibility with our upcoming spring
release.

We'll clarify this in our documentation for CentOS shortly, and please
don't hesitate to reach out with any further questions.
Best,
Christine
