Symptoms

Root password is not changed for KVM VPS despite the successful message.

Cause

Wrong PHP version is used by SolusVM:

# php -v
PHP 5.6.30 (cli) (built: Jul 13 2020 08:30:53)
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
with the ionCube PHP Loader (enabled) + Intrusion Protection from ioncube24.com (unconfigured) v6.0.9, Copyright (c) 2002-2016, by ionCube Ltd.

Resolution

  1. Access affected SolusVM slave node over SSH.

  2. Update svmstack-php package:

    # yum update svmstack-php* -y

  3. Switch to svmstack PHP 7.XX by creating symbolic link /usr/bin/php to the corresponding binary:

    # mv /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/backup-php
    # ln -s /usr/local/svmstack/php7/bin/php /usr/bin/php
