Well, from what I have read, it is sometimes tricky to get this working. But, here is a short tutorial on how to do it with  
PHP 5.5. I think it is nearly the same for 7.0. If this is your own server, you might want to back it up first.

One of the first comments mention what to use for PHP7.0… Hope this helps!
