Nginx running 2 PHP versions simultaneously

[j007w]

Operating system: CentOS
**OS version:**7

I’m running Nginx and have PHP 5.6, 7.2 and 7.4 installed. Even though I have selected 7.4 PHP-fcgid to be the default for each domain and in Server Templates, in running processes I see that some domains are running 7.2. A few are even running 7.2 and 7.4 simultaneously.

What do I need to do so that all domains only run 7.4?

Thanks!

Should I uninstall 5.6 and 7.2? I’ve been searching all over but haven’t found any articles regarding this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I’ve seen a couple of reports of this, but I can’t even imagine how it could happen.

Can you post the nginx config for this virtual host?

Hi Joe.

Thanks so much for helping me. Here’s what the config for one of the domains that are running multiple PHP versions. Please let me know your thoughts.

Does anyone have an idea what’s happening? Thanks
