v3.10.4 - WordOps stable release

iignatios

Try to add PHP8.0 relevant update manually to Nginx. Change upstream.conf, wpfc-php81.conf (applicable if enabled FastCGI) and site config files manually to PHP8.0

Lucky007 Thanks a lot for your reply.
Yes, I have FastCGI. How can I do these? wo edit my website?
I am a newbie.
The other way is to build another new server. But when i try this and change DNS (cloudflare) with the new IP i see the old website. I'm confused.

If the wordops installed PHP8.0 on your server but sites not updated to PHP8.0, you can manually update the sites to use PHP8.0. For this, I use WinSCP for editing files, not use the SSH. The putty (ssh) is used for restart, reload nginx, PHP, etc. I'm not an expert in this subject, all these are learned from Googling. If there is any mistake please correct me.

First, verify your server updated to PHP8.0 by navigating to the following directory.

/etc/php/8.0/

check php8.0 process running on your server running following command line.

sudo service php8.0-fpm status

The response should be,

● php8.1-fpm.service - The PHP 8.0 FastCGI Process Manager
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/php8.0-fpm.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

     CGroup: /system.slice/php8.0-fpm.service
             └─12355 php-fpm: master process (/etc/php/8.0/fpm/php-fpm.conf)

Navigate to the "/etc/nginx/" directory open the file, "upstream.conf" file, and check it has the following lines. If it doesn't have add it.

#-------------------------------
# PHP 8.0
#-------------------------------
# PHP 8.0 upstream with load-balancing on two unix sockets
upstream php80 {
    least_conn;
    server unix:/var/run/php/php80-fpm.sock;
    server unix:/var/run/php/php80-two-fpm.sock;
    keepalive 5;
}
# PHP 8.0 debug
upstream debug80 {
    # Debug Pool
    server 127.0.0.1:9175;
}

Then go to the "/etc/php/8.1/fpm/pool.d/" directory and check it has the following files,

debug.conf
www.conf
www-two.conf

Then navigate to "/etc/nginx/common/" directory and check whether it has "wpfc-php81.conf" file. If not create a file and add the following lines.

# WPFC NGINX CONFIGURATION - WordOps 3.14.0
# DO NOT MODIFY, ALL CHANGES WILL BE LOST AFTER AN WordOps (wo) UPDATE
# $skip_cache variable set in /etc/nginx/conf.d/map-wp.conf

add_header X-fastcgi-cache $upstream_cache_status;
# Use cached or actual file if they exists, Otherwise pass request to WordPress
location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
  try_files $uri =404;
  include fastcgi_params;
  fastcgi_pass php81;
  fastcgi_cache_bypass $skip_cache;
  fastcgi_no_cache $skip_cache;
  fastcgi_cache WORDPRESS;
}
location ~ /purge(/.*) {
  fastcgi_cache_purge WORDPRESS "$scheme$request_method$host$1";
  access_log off;
}

Then open your site config files in "/etc/nginx/sites-available" and replace

    include common/wpfc-php74.conf;
    include common/wpcommon-php74.conf;

with

    include common/wpfc-php81.conf;
    include common/wpcommon-php81.conf;

Then run the following command to check nginx errors.

nginx -t

if everything ok, restart nginx and php8.0-fpm service.

sudo service nginx restart && sudo service php8.0-fpm restart

That's all.

If you use FastCGI disk cache, you have to add a custom location in the www.conf and www-two.conf files and wp-config.php. You can use this tutorial for that.

I think you have to use wo site update [<site_name>] [options] for install PHP8.0. https://docs.wordops.net/commands/site/#site-update

To update your site to PHP8.0, run

wo site update [<site_name>] --php80

Then it automatically installs php8.0 and update the site to PHP8.0

First, make a server backup and test. IF anything goes wrong, you can simply undo the changes. Is your server has PHP8.0?

Is there any 8.0 directory in /etc/php/ directory?

iignatios after update to php8?

I got the same issue only for a single site. Don't know if this would work for you. What I have done is flush FastCGI cache, Redis, and flush Cloudflare cache and change the theme to default. Then everything worked. Again used the premium theme.

Enable PHP8.0 to debug.

Check site logs in /var/log/nginx/ and /var/log/php if it has any errors.

I think it is better if you open a new thread for this issue. This is just an announcement thread.
