Hello,

I have installed php7.4 (and also php8). But they do not appear in Virtualmin as possibilities. Even after a ā€œvirtualmin check-configā€.

Any idea ?

Thank you

virtualmin check-config

The following PHP versions are available : 5.6.40 (/usr/bin/php5-cgi), 7.1.33 (/usr/bin/php-cgi7.1), 5.6 (mod_php)

Hello and welcome to the community, @antoineschmitt

Two important things:

  1. get rid of mod_php
  2. use the official documentation at Multiple PHP Versions ā€“ Virtualmin
3

Hello,
thank you for your answer.

I had followed exactly the official documentation.
How do I ā€œget ridā€ of mod_php (none of my virtual servers use it) ?

Thank you

Not possible. The official documentation does not tell you to install Mod PHP. It tells you to install an UNMODIFIED OS. It tells you flat out:

Do not pre-install or pre-configure any additional packages on your OS.

You then run this:
<wget https://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh>

And then this:
<sudo /bin/sh install.sh>

Thatā€™s it. If you did anything other than that, you messed up.

:wink: Actually, webmin/virtualmin was already installed on this system when I purchased this server (10 years ago), so I guess mod_php was preinstalled. I then upgraded to php7.1, like 2 years ago, which worked. But now when I try to upgrade to php7.4, it does not appear. Very strange.

7

none php7.4-cgi or php8.0-cgi installedā€¦ nor -fpm ā€¦ nor mod-php in that versionsā€¦ so virtualmin correctly doesnā€™t find itā€¦ install those too and do a recheck afterwards.
