I have been using Vesta for past 8 years running PHP 5.6. The app I am running only works on 5.6 and below.
I purchased a new VPS yesterday and installed Hestia on it and I can see that it is a much improved version of Vesta. However, there is no way to change the PHP version from the default 8.2 so it appears.
I tried installing 5.6 via SSL and did so successfully but upon checking my domain I see that version 8.2 is still running even after reboot.
Is there some way I can get 5.6 to run with Hestia?
Also, is it possible to create a user package which only allows them phpmyadmin access to databases they themselves have created and if so how do I set that up please?
I don’t know what you did, I suppose you installed php using apt but that is not the right way to do it, the right way is to use Hestia’s command v-add-web-php
v-add-web-php 5.6
If you want to use php 5.6 as the default php version:
If i use this to change to 8.0 on an wordpress cuz some pluging don`t work with latest version ? will affect the website in any way ? if i change the version now ?
If the plugins on your wordpress doesn’t work with for example 8.2 but they work with 8.0 and your wordpress works too with that version, just edit your web domain and change the php version to 8.0, there is no need to change the default php version.
