Can't access CP, Internal Server Error 500

Can’t access to Hestia CP at 8083 port, get error 500

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

Hestia CP VERSION=‘1.6.8’

In nginx-error.log:
2025/09/14 16:48:17 [crit] 903#0: 1 connect() to unix:/var/run/hestia-php.sock failed (2: No such file or directory) while connecting to upstream, client: 88.155.62.90, server: _, request: “GET / HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “fastcgi://unix:/var/run/hestia-php.sock:”, host: "paradise.org:8083”

I did this:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libz/libzip/libzip5_1.5.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libzip5_1.5.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

It didn’t helped.

My solution was (maybe it wil helpt someone else):
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade --fix-missing

systemctl status hestia?

Looks like you’re hestia service isnt running.
