Did you follow the documentation?

yes, i did, actually, i receive this error in the second step:

On Ubuntu

  1. Enable Ondrej/PHP repository
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php && apt-get update
  1. Install PHP packages
apt-get install php8.1-{cgi,cli,fpm,pdo,gd,mbstring,mysqlnd,opcache,curl,xml,zip}    <-------------------------- this
  • Replace php8.1 with the specific version, e.g., php8.3.
  • Check available PHP versions and extensions on the Ondrej PPA website or via apt-cache search --names-only ^php.

PHP 8.1 is the version that comes with Ubuntu 22 repository. If you have installed Virtualmin then this should have been installed already for you. No need to add another repository. So you could now have 2 conflicting versions of PHP 8.1.

5

yes you are right, i remember it. 8.1 must to work, but it wont work
any idea how to fix it?

Ensure that all necessary PHP modules are installed and enabled for PHP 8.1. Some modules might be different between PHP versions, so it’s important to install the correct ones. You can use php -m to list enabled modules.
