Disabling alt-phpXX versions from MultiPHP Manager’s dropdown list

Issue

How to 'hide' alt-php versions from MultiPHP Manager?

Environment

• CloudLinux OS 6/7/8
• cPanel with MultiPHP Manager

Solution

Edit the /opt/alt/alt-php-config/alt-php.cfg file.

In this example, we keep the alt-php72 visible in the list only:

[MultiPHP Manager]
alt-php44 = no
alt-php51 = no
alt-php52 = no
alt-php53 = no
alt-php54 = no
alt-php55 = no
alt-php56 = no
alt-php70 = no
alt-php71 = no
alt-php72 = yes

Once you edit it, run the /opt/alt/alt-php-config/multiphp_reconfigure.py script; it manages SCL prefixes for the Alt-PHP in /etc/scl/prefixes.
