Make sure the following packages are installed.<\/h2>\n

Update your php-fpm web server configuration<\/h2>\n
I run lighttpd, but you’re more likely running nginx or apache.
\nIf you use php-fpm and you’ve configured your pool to be accessed via unix socket, you will have to update your server configuration from the old socket path: \"\/var\/run\/php5-fpm.sock\"<\/code>
\nto the new one \"\/var\/run\/php\/php7.0-fpm.sock\"<\/code><\/p>\n
this is how it looks for lighttpd:<\/p>\n
