HI,
I have two instances of PHP running parallel. How can I uninstall compete php instances on Redhat Linux server.
I am looking for respective commands.
Thanks,

I very much doubt it..
Why do you think this is your problem? What is going wrong?
Since I am pointing to PHP version 7.3.12 but when I do php version info it is showing as 7.4.0.
First I have installed 7.4.0 but unfortunately moodle is not supporting that version so I installed 7.3.12 which moodle recommended ,but still when i look for version information it is showing as 7.4.0

How are you checking the version? Is this the Moodle installer?
How did you install PHP? Are you sure the 'downgrade' to 7.3 actually worked?

Hi,
I did not downgraded from 7.4 to 7.3 , I just uninstalled 7.4 and I installed 7.3.12 . Yes this is Moodle Installer.

Please issue:
uname -an
yum repolist
cat /etc/redhat-release
So we can find out info about server ... true RedHat Enterprise (commercial) or CentOS - 7 or 8?
Are you remotely hosted? Dedicated VPS or shared? Providers do offer application via cPanel/other for customers to use different versions of PHP per directory.
Above info would make a difference in giving specific commands for installing/un-installing etc. PHP - or seeing what's available via package manager (yum) and which/what repo.

The command line php command is NOT the same as the web-based one. They can be different versions. Are you using the web installer or the command-line installer.
When you uninstalled 7.4 and installed 7.3 (I would call that downgrading but whatever) did you do this for both the command line and the web versions?
When you uninstalled 7.4 and installed 7.3 (I would call that downgrading but whatever) did you do this for both the command line and the web versions?
I use through command line command .
Noticed your command for checking version had ./ in front of php. ./ means present working directory. What directory were you in?
Best (?) to use: which php
That will show which cli php system finds ... or at least one of them - first one in environment path of root user.
If it shows: /usr/bin/php
Then try command with /usr/bin/php -v
What do you get?
'SoS', Ken
I am not getting nothing.
[root@prdlmsmo01 bin]# ./php -v
-bash: ./php: No such file or directory
[root@prdlmsmo01 bin]# pwd
/usr/bin
But WHEN I EXECUTE from apache bin I am getting following results.
[root@prdlmsmo01 apache]# cd bin/

Well, you have true RedHat Enterprise 7 (commercial).
Do maintain your subscriptions to the repos for it.
When those subscriptions expire, no updates possible.
Can see some things you need to investigate and fix:
Repository rhel-7-server-optional-rpms is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository rhel-7-server-rpms is listed more than once in the configuration
should be listed only once to avoid package manager confusion.
Can also see you are using third party repos:
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 13,384
remi-safe Safe Remi's RPM repository for Enterpri 3,653
ius/x86_64 IUS for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64 714
cisofy for auditing-hardening compliance? Guess cause .gov domain.
First, the php cli should be found from anywhere on the system - unless cisofy has
done something to system.
So ... from any location on server, like in /root right after you login as root,
one should be able to do: php -v
and see php (cli) version.
Find out which php is found first using:
which php
That is dependent upon env paths.
As root, env |grep PATH [ENTER] - case sensitive.
The various directories in the paths are separated by a ':'
Example from CentOS 7 (not same as your server):
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
So if I use just php -v the path above would be searched in order seen for a php executable.
Since you have apache installed in /opt/ (it appears).
You could also have multiple versions of php in /opt/
find / -name php
will take a long time to execute, but that command should show php locations in your entire system.
NOT all of what that shows is the CLI php.
Mine, for example, a CentOS 7 (not RHEL 7), shows a few like:
/usr/lib64/google-cloud-sdk/platform/ext-runtime/php
/usr/lib64/php
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/php
/usr/share/php
/usr/include/php-zts/php
/usr/include/php
NONE of those found above are php executables ... lib64,share,include aren't places where linux normally puts executables.
Looking for /something/bin/ directories
On my CentOS 7 system, above finds one:
/usr/bin/php
If I type full path to php with -v switch:
[root@sos]# /usr/bin/php -v

That's what you are looking for.
Also, system keeps a history of commands issued. Assuming you used yum to install php and if the history is still there, issue:
history |grep yum
should show the yum command you used to install php.

First ... you need to get training or find a resource for how to admin your RHEL 7 server. These forums are supposed to be about moodle.
With that **strong sugggestion** in mind ...
** you are looking for 'bin' directories.
You've shown only the one found in
/usr/local/bin/php -v
is 7.4.0 (cli)
What does:
/usr/local/php7/bin/php -v
show?
What does:
/opt/apache/php-7.3.12/sapi/cli/php -v
show
I would assume (maybe incorrectly) 'sapi' means 'secure api'???? and that
/opt/apache/php-7.3.12/sapi/cli/php -v
would show PHP 7.3.12 (cli)
What of how installed (yum package manager or other)?
System keeps a history of commands issued.
history |grep yum
Looking for yum commands you issued to install software and *in particular* PHP and possibly apache.
Remember, the goal is to find a compatible version of php-cli ... that's php-cli ... repeat ... that's php-cli.
In your Moodle config then you will know what path to set for php-cli. And also what path to php executable for your cron job for the moodle which is set outside of Moodle config.
