A few days ago, someone asked me for advice about a slow website.
Upon analysis, the server wasn't the issue—it was running #Linux #CentOS7 on bare metal. However, the site was operating on PHP 5.4 (default for CentOS 7) and was entirely custom-made.
I suggested updating everything, especially since CentOS 7 is nearing its EOL, and transitioning the web application to work on PHP 8.
Their response? "We don't want to do it." They wanted me to set up a new, optimized server to run PHP 5.4. I explained the risks and the nonsensical nature of this, only to hear that they found someone willing to install PHP 5.4 on a new system. So, if I refused, they'd give the job to someone else.
I replied, "Good luck," and ended the conversation.
It saddens me that some in the IT world would opt for such shortcuts rather than striving for a more secure web.

The build went well.
Pretty pleased all my customisations have installed on rocky without an issue and I've now got a rocky linux #cpanel #dnsonly server v 108.0.4 running in my cluster.
Pretty pleased to be honest there is a upgrade path from #centos7 with a small learning curve.
