This tutorial will walk you through the process of determining which PHP version your Plesk server is running and how to switch to a different PHP version.
Applications such as PHP must be managed through the Plesk interface on a server such as Plesk.
Follow the steps in this tutorial to update PHP and switch to a different version of PHP.
Requirements:
- A Plesk server and PHP have been installed.
- PHP is installed and, by default, running on a Standard Linux installation. If your server was configured with minimal installation, you will need to install and configure PHP before proceeding.
Check the Current PHP Version:
- Log into “Plesk”
- To see what version of PHP is currently being used on a domain, go to the “Websites and Domains” tab and search for the website you want to examine.
- When you select “Website and Domains,” the PHP version will be listed in the domain information.
Change PHP Version
- For the domain, you want to alter, go to “PHP Settings”
- You will be taken to that domain’s “PHP Settings” page. To see the available PHP versions, use the drop-down menu.
Note- Versions 7.3.27 and 7.4.16 are available on the server in this case. - After you’ve chosen your PHP version from the drop-down menu, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Apply” to save your changes.
If the PHP version you want isn’t available in the drop-down option then you can install it manually if you have root access to your Plesk panel.
