Webserver Configuration
:::: tabs
::: tab "NGINX"
After upgrading to PHP 8.0, you will most likely need to update your NGINX configuration. Your configuration file
is most likely called pterodactyl.conf and located in the /etc/nginx/sites-available/ directory, or if on CentOS,
/etc/nginx/conf.d/.
Make sure to update the path in the command below to reflect the actual location of your configuration file.
sed -i -e 's/php7.[0-4]-fpm.sock/php8.0-fpm.sock/' /etc/nginx/sites-available/pterodactyl.conf
Once you have edited the file run the command below to reload nginx and apply your changes.
systemctl reload nginx
::: ::: tab "Apache" Run the commands below to disable PHP 7.4 and enable PHP 8.0 when serving requests. If you are upgrading from PHP 7.4 change the value in the command below to reflect that.
