Updating to 16.04.1 LTS

!Heyo Sentora Community!

So silly me, I upgraded my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server to 16.04.1 LTS after receiving the notification it was now a recommended upgrade, and I forgot that Sentora relied very heavily on PHP5.

Seeing as they've gone out of their way to make PHP5 a nuisance to install on Ubuntu 16, is there a recommended way to get Sentora Panel working again? I previously had it setup running on panel.mywebsite.com, but now it just loads a blank page and I can only assume it's a php5 related issue (not using the actually installed php7). Funny enough most of the other domains on my site load properly (such as mywebsite.com, proxy.mywebsite.com, etc.)

Is there a way to salvage this without needing a fresh install in order to work with PHP7 or am I SOL and need to go back to PHP5 by manually adding the PPA repo's, etc.?

Thanks!

Edit:
Alright so for any of those wishing to switch to PHP7 and run into this issue, it was as simple as running:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql

Not sure if there are more issues spawned by this, but I'll update this as I test everything out!

Thanks for the updated info.

SECURITY RISK: THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AT THIS TIME!
Suhosin is not available for php7 yet.
Sentora relies heavily on suhosin for security!

It would be best to stay with php5 w/suhosin.
