PHP 8 installed by mistake and became default. Is this a problem?

Virtualmin
1

Hello,

I created a new server on Debian 10 and Virtualmin GPL.
I am very new to Debian so I used online guides on how to add PHP 7.4, however, it appears that the guide also installed PHP 8.0 and enabled it automatically as the system default.
I can switch PHP versions on the Virtual Servers however I am concerned whether the default PHP v8 messes with virtualmin system as a whole.
Will I face problems down the line or shall I re-install the server again now?

Thank you

Hi,

No, you shouldn’t have any issues. However, it’s easy to remove it:

apt-get purge php8*
