Upgrading PHP Version
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y upgrade
A reboot is important after any upgrade.
sudo systemctl reboot
After a few minutes SSH back into your server
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lsb-release ca-certificates apt-transport-https software-properties-common -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
Hit enter key when prompted to add the repository
sudo apt update
sudo apt install php8.0
sudo apt-get install -qq curl debconf-utils php-pear php8.0-curl php8.0-dev php8.0-gd php8.0-mbstring php8.0-zip php8.0-mysql php8.0-xml php8.0-fpm php8.0-intl php8.0-bcmath php8.0-cli php8.0-opcache
sudo service apache2 stop
Next lets edit NGINX to use new PHP8
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Find fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/***.sock;
*** will be your sitename, unit3d or php7.4 for the most part
Replace fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/***.sock; with fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;.
Save and exit.
Test config sudo nginx -t
*If you didnt mess up you will see
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
sudo systemctl reload nginx
sudo systemctl reload php8.0-fpm
sudo apt purge '^php7.4.*'
You should now be running PHP8 and can confirm by checking your staff dashboard.
