when run php -v , it still says,
PHP 7.4.33 (cli) (built: Jun 6 2024 16:44:50) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.4.33, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies
The reason for that is
It looks like PHP 7.4 is still being used as the default version on your system. To use PHP 8.2, you need to ensure that the new version is set as the default for both the CLI and the web server. Here are the steps to switch to PHP 8.2:
1.Check Installed PHP Versions
First, verify that PHP 8.2 is installed correctly:
php8.2 -v
2.Update Alternatives for CLI
Use the update-alternatives command to switch the default PHP CLI version:
sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php8.2
sudo update-alternatives --set phar /usr/bin/phar8.2
sudo update-alternatives --set phar.phar /usr/bin/phar.phar8.2
sudo update-alternatives --set phpize /usr/bin/phpize8.2
sudo update-alternatives --set php-config /usr/bin/php-config8.2
3.Verify PHP CLI Version
Check the PHP version to confirm it has been updated:
php -v
4.Configure PHP-FPM
Ensure that PHP 8.2 FPM is running:
sudo systemctl restart php8.2-fpm
5.Update Web Server Configuration
For Apache:
Disable PHP 7.4 and enable PHP 8.2:
sudo a2dismod php7.4
sudo a2enmod php8.2
sudo systemctl restart apache2
For Nginx:
Ensure your Nginx configuration points to the PHP 8.2 FPM socket:
nginx
server {
# Other configurations...
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
}
}
After making changes, restart Nginx:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
- Verify PHP Extensions
Verify that the required PHP extensions are installed:
php -m | grep -E 'mysqli|curl|mbstring|tokenizer|xml|gd|zip'
You should see output listing these extensions.
7.Update Composer Dependencies
With PHP 8.2 and the necessary extensions installed, you should now be able to update Composer dependencies for Flarum without issues:
composer update
By following these steps, you should be able to switch to PHP 8.2 and ensure that all necessary extensions are properly configured for Flarum.
where to find the Nginx configuration points to the PHP 8.2 FPM socket for yunohost server
In a Yunohost server, the Nginx configuration files are typically located in /etc/nginx. You will need to modify the relevant server block configuration to point to the PHP 8.2 FPM socket. Here's how you can do it:
Step-by-Step Guide
Find the Nginx Configuration File:
The main Nginx configuration file is /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, but you should look for the specific configuration file for your site or application. These are usually located in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ or /etc/nginx/sites-available/.
Edit the Configuration File:
Open the configuration file for your site. For example, if your site is configured in my_site.conf:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/my_site.conf
Locate the PHP-FPM Configuration:
Find the block that handles PHP files. It typically looks like this:
nginx
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
}
Update the fastcgi_pass Directive:
Change the fastcgi_pass line to use the PHP 8.2 FPM socket:
nginx
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
}
Save and Close the File:
Save the changes and close the editor. In nano, you can do this by pressing CTRL + O, then Enter, and CTRL + X.
Test the Nginx Configuration:
Test the Nginx configuration to ensure there are no syntax errors:
bash
sudo nginx -t
Reload Nginx:
If the configuration test is successful, reload Nginx to apply the changes:
bash
sudo systemctl reload nginx
Example Nginx Configuration for PHP 8.2
Here's a complete example of what your PHP block might look like after the update:
nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
root /var/www/your_site;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Notes
Ensure that the fastcgi-php.conf snippet is included in your configuration, as it sets necessary parameters for PHP processing.
The exact paths and filenames might differ based on your Yunohost configuration and how you have set up your web applications.
By following these steps, you can update your Nginx configuration to use PHP 8.2 FPM on a Yunohost server.
