sudo service apache2 stop
Next lets edit NGINX to use new PHP8
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Find fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/***.sock;
*** will be your site name, unit3d or php7.4 for the most part
Replace fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/***.sock; with fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;.
Save and exit.
Test config sudo nginx -t
*If you didn't mess up you will see
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
sudo systemctl reload nginx
sudo systemctl reload php8.0-fpm
sudo apt purge '^php7.4.*'
You should now be running PHP8 and can confirm by checking your staff dashboard.
