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=eb663c9221a655ed0ec15b97314fe4db

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

 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.
