PPAs are software repositories designed for <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/ubuntu\">Ubuntu<\/a> users and are easier to install than other third-party repositories. PPAs are often used to distribute pre-release software so that it can be tested or the latest packages are not available in the default repositories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A PPA is maintained for <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/php\">PHP<\/a> installation on Ubuntu systems so we will use the commands below to add the PPA to your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo apt update\n$ sudo apt install software-properties-common\n$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>For this tutorial, we will be adding PHP 8.0 and PHP 7.4 using the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo apt update -y\n$ sudo apt install php8.0 php8.0-fpm -y\n$ sudo apt install php7.4 php7.4-fpm -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After installation, <strong>PHP-fpm<\/strong> services will be started automatically. Use the following commands to make sure both services are running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-batch\">$ sudo systemctl status php8.0-fpm\n$ sudo systemctl status php7.4-fpm<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations! You now have two versions of PHP on your Ubuntu system. That&#8217;s not all, you may want to follow this tutorial to see how to install PHP modules for each of these versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are configuring Apache with PHP then all you would need to do is point to the right <em>php.ini<\/em> file for the appropriate version as <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/php-configuration-files-location\/\">shown in this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the above installations, these would usually be the locations of the <em>php.ini<\/em> files:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">##PHP 8.0\n\/etc\/php\/8.0\/fpm\/php.ini\n\n##PHP 7.4\n\/etc\/php\/7.4\/fpm\/php.ini<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tutorial will show you how to install multiple PHP versions on a single Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or similar Linux system.
