Upgrading PHP

Panel Version	PHP Version
1.0.0 - 1.2.0	^7.3 \| ^7.4
1.3.0	^7.4 \| ^8.0

Install PHP 7.4

In order to install PHP 7.4, you will need to run the following command.

apt -y install php7.4 php7.4-{cli,gd,mysql,pdo,mbstring,tokenizer,bcmath,xml,fpm,curl,zip}

Once you have installed PHP 7.4, you will need to update your webserver configuration.

Update Composer

As of Panel@1.3.0 we require composer v2. To update composer you will need to run the following command.

composer self-update --2

Webserver Configuration

NGINX

After upgrading to PHP 7.4, you will most likely need to update your NGINX configuration.

By default, your webserver configuration should be located at /etc/nginx/sites-available/nginx.conf.

You can open the file by using nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/nginx.conf, once the file is open you will need to replace fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock; with fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; (this line will be located towards the end of the file).

Once you have edited the file, you will need to reload nginx. You can do this by running the following command

systemctl reload nginx

If you were upgrading your Panel you may now continue that process. 1.X.X Upgrade Guide
