I am trying to upgrade my apache2 php on Ubuntu 15.10 from php5 to php7. I've read a lot of instructions, but did not understand how to do it, because a lot of instructions are for Ubuntu 14 and so some "apt-get" commands are not working.

What do I need to do on Ubuntu 15.10 to upgrade my apache's php version to php7? When trying to run 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php-7.0

I am getting the error: "ValueError: SSL support not available "

When trying to self compile, I get the following error when running "make":

libtool: link: `ext/gd/libgd/wbmp.lo' is not a valid libtool object
Makefile:288: recipe for target 'sapi/fpm/php-fpm' failed
make: *** [sapi/fpm/php-fpm] Error 1

I came to the cinclusion to install Ubuntu 14 lts, because Ubuntu 15 sucks a lot...

php7 is not in the "default" repositories of Ubuntu 15.10, which leaves youn with at least two options:

  1. Use a ppa anyways
    • use ppa:ondrej/php if you want php5 and php7 to coexist
  2. Compile php7 yourself

Your are probably missing HTTPS support in apt. So run sudo apt-get install apt-tranport-https before adding the PPA.
