Invalid command 'php_admin_value'

Due to a problem I don’t remember, quite some time ago I had to change php from fpm to module. Now I am trying to revert back to its previous state, but I get an error message from Apache on restart:

# systemctl restart apache2
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xeu apache2.service" for details.

What should I change in camino.DOMAIN.TLD.conf? If I switch back to module everything works fine and I can restart.

how did you reverted from module to fpm?

3 
/usr/sbin/a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif
/usr/sbin/a2enconf php7.4-fpm 
/usr/sbin/a2dismod php7.4
systemctl restart apache2

I have tried too with same result:
/usr/sbin/a2enconf php8.2-fpm

Since this is a private website for personal use, I am going to delete it, restart Apache and recreate it…
