PhpMyAdmin after php upgrade shows Internal Server Error

Hestia doesn’t use mpm_prefork anymore, it uses mpm_event and also, doesn’t use php module.

What I would do:

Remove php apache libraries (if you have libapache2-mod-php8.0 remove it too):

apt remove libapache2-mod-php8.2 libapache2-mod-php8.3

Remove php 8.0 and install 8.2:

v-delete-web-php 8.0
v-add-web-php 8.2

Disable php and mpm_prefork modules. Enable mpm_event and restart apache2:

a2dismod php
a2dismod mpm_prefork
a2enmod mpm_event
systemctl restart apache2

If doesn’t work, check that your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file looks like this:

# It is split into several files forming the configuration hierarchy outlined
# below, all located in the /etc/apache2/ directory:
#
#       /etc/apache2/
#       |-- apache2.conf
#       |       `--  ports.conf
#       |-- mods-enabled
#       |       |-- *.load
#       |       `-- *.conf
#       |-- conf.d
#       |       `-- *
