How to enable php55?
Hi all,
I have a rhel 6.7 system with php53, 54, and 55 installed. Just installed 55 but I am having a hard time getting php55 to stay enabled. I found this article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1451783
however when I log off and back on the system php is not enabled. I have also ran source /opt/rh/php55/enable but I still have the same results when I log off.
How can I get this to stay enabled?
Thanks!

Hi Gary,
You need to, for example, put the source /opt/rh/php55/enable command into your .bashrc file, so that it's run whenever you start a shell. See also Permanently Enable a Software Collection.

Thanks Robert. I actually added an alias to point to the correct php version in my bashrc which worked!

Well, yes, but then the environment variables won't be correct, and that could lead to problems. See How can I make a Red Hat Software Collection persist after a reboot/logout? for an explanation.

Also, some collections (such as servers or databases) contain init scripts, which you can use to enable them permanently. See Running a System Service from a Software Collection.
