April 2019

Well, earlier today, I got a reminder that I had not upgraded PHP. Indeed, unlike most of my installs, the virtual host running my WordPress sites was installed from a Live CD, and was running the dated PHP 5.4 version which CentOS/RHEL 7 comes with as a part of their base. It is a joy of running an operating system which comes with "long term support", aka LTS.

While the title may indicate that this is a core dump post, I won't quite say that it clears that hurdle... quite... But it is definitely a frustration which has raised its head a few times, and over the past 24 hours, went from a minor nuisance to a major frustration.
