Have you changed the “Backend template” on your web domain?

danonanon · June 3, 2020, 4:35pm

I have a different. I didn’ go with default things, I used it
https://gabizz.github.io/hestiacp-scriptline-generator/

There is no apache and I didn’t tick --multiphp
Maybe that’s why I don’t have the menu drop-down menu?

I can tick php7.4 in different menu but my sites continues work on php 7.3

Can you add additional php versions from https://panel:8083/edit/server Web Server Tab?

I aslo can’t change the theme… there’s no option to make it black…IDK why. cause I didn’t install apache or something?

Looks good, Does php 7.4 show up now in the backend dropdown when editing a web domain?

If it isn’t there, try uninstalling php7.4 from the edit server settings page and then re-adding it, as some packages might have been fetched during the install and php7.4 ended up partially installed

How do you check which php version is active? do you have a phpinfo page on that website? I hope you are not using the cli to check it.

I reinstalled the panel, used your advices and it’s all ok for now.

Please tell me how to install php-mods?
Just to install from the command line?

Raphael · June 4, 2020, 8:16am

yes, just use apt install phpx.x-modname.

Switched to the Dark theme too?

danonanon · June 8, 2020, 7:12pm

Yes. It was hard to find where to switch really.

after upgrading to php7.4 and moving everything to php7.4 How do I remove php7.3 if i wanted it gone? its just a grey check… an I missing something?

eris · June 25, 2020, 6:14am

Roundcube is still using 7.3 so you can’t remove it

djav1985 · June 25, 2020, 6:15am

can that be changed? In the config? Also if i don’t use the default php7.4 template for backend it puts php 7.3 in my apache configs… even if i take the 7.4 template and alter it the alterd one makes everything run 7.3. How is hestia set up to decide the php version used?

eris · June 25, 2020, 8:39am

You will need to modify the config for the webmail domains this can be found in

/usr/local/hestia/data/templates/mail

And then remove php7.3 and replace it with 7.4

If that is done remove php7.3 via apt-get remove.

But. but those templates will be reset after upgrade / update of hestia
