Yep. PHP7 (not 7.1), exclusively from IUS working for me. I used no webtatic after reading the cautions from the CentOS engineer, which is what I alluded to earlier in this thread. They seem to have a very strong negative opinion of webtatic, and if you read the comments he made, it makes sense not to use them.
Turns out you need the CentOS epel-release to use IUS:
https://ius.io/GettingStarted/
What was said regarding webtatic:
"We do not recommend use of the Webtatic repo under any circumstances."
Why?
"The webtatic repo contains many packages with names that conflict with the names of packages in CentOS base and updates repos. This means that it replaces packages supplied by CentOS without warning. Examine your /var/log/yum.log and see what else got updated at the same time as the php packages were installed (or afterwards). Use rpm -qi $packagename to check to make sure that the buildhost is a CentOS one and that the signing key is the CentOS one for each of those."
"The IUS Community repo is a better source of replacement packages since they are all named differently than the ones CentOS supply so you have to take explicit action to install them."

I had no idea about the issue with Webtatic so I'll keep that in mind
I will say though that I have used the Webtatic repo's to setup PHP7 on 10 separate CentOS7 boxes and more in development environments and have yet to run into issues with them yet. Do the IUS repositories give you everything necessary to run PHP7 yet? If they do I might switch to using them instead.

I appreciate the feedback. Got everything working.
Also, for what it's worth, CentOS strongly discourages use of webtactic repos. Information about this can be found here:
https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=52586&sid=eb663c9...
To get PHP5.6, I instead used what they appear to prefer and possibly support, the IUS repo (I missed your suggestion about using version 7, some of which is also on the repo below):
rpm -Uvh https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm

This is very easy, just export your current MySQL database and import it into the new MySQL server (Google should be your friend with this). Obviously you’ll need to make sure you have the same user / permissions / etc.
Then just copy your RRD directory into the same directory on the new server as it was on the existing one after you’ve installed Observium from SVN. Now would probably also be a good time to get PHP7 going – I can confirm these packages function properly with Observium on CentOS7: https://webtatic.com/packages/php70/ .

Are there instructions somewhere for moving Observium? I don't know how to migrate mysql. I was hoping there are concise Observium instructions, much like the excellent install page.

You'll need to also migrate and redirect your MySQL database too.

So I have my new CentOS7 system ready to go, moving from a CentOS6 VM. I thought I'd found it before, but I can't find instructions for moving observium to a different system (same x86_64 architecture). I can move the RRDs, but isn't there more to it, like migrating mysql data? I've looked through the documentation. Perhaps I'm just looking for the wrong text. Any links someone can point to, or instructions for moving from one host to another? Thanks. Bill
