I am running the may 8 xfce build and I can't seem to find a repo that has php7 available. I'm fairly new to Linux so I may just be looking in the wrong places. If php5 is all that's available that's fine, I just want to make sure before I install it.
Okay, so what repo do I have to add to get it? Right now when I do a sudo apt-get install for php7.0-cgi or php7.0-fpm I get "unable to locate package 'php-7.0-cgi' ".
you could try a sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
this will help you rebuild the build data cache from the repositories
maybe help you find a broken repo address.
