# Upgrading Icinga Web 2 <a id="upgrading"></a>
Upgrading Icinga Web 2 is quite straightforward. Usually the only manual steps involved are schema updates for the
Icinga Web 2 database.
Specific version upgrades are described below. Please note that upgrades are incremental. An upgrade from
v2.6 to v2.8 requires to follow the instructions for v2.7 too.
Specific version upgrades are described below. Please note that version updates are incremental. An upgrade from
v2.3 to v2.5 requires to follow the instructions for v2.4 too.
## Upgrading to Icinga Web 2 2.8.x
**Changes in packaging and dependencies**
Valid for distributions:
* RHEL / CentOS 7
* Upgrade to PHP 7.3 via RedHat SCL
After upgrading to version 2.8.0 you'll get the new `rh-php73` dependency installed. This is a drop-in replacement
for the previous `rh-php71` dependency and only requires the setup of a new fpm service and possibly some copying
of customized configurations.
**php.ini or php-fpm settings** you have tuned in the past need to be copied over to the new path:
From `/etc/opt/rh/rh-php71/` to `/etc/opt/rh/rh-php73/`.
Don't forget to also install any additional **php-modules** for PHP 7.3 you've had previously installed
for e.g. Icinga Web 2 modules.
There's also a new **service** included which replaces the previous one for php-fpm:
Stop the old service: `systemctl stop rh-php71-php-fpm.service`
Start the new service: `systemctl start rh-php73-php-fpm.service`
You can now safely remove the previous dependency if you like:
`yum remove rh-php71*`
**Discontinued package updates**
Icinga Web 2 v2.8+ is not supported on these platforms:
* RHEL / CentOS 6
* Debian 8 Jessie
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)
Please consider an upgrade of your central Icinga system to a newer distribution release.

currently supported distributions.
