Hi,
I tried to restart php with service, systemctl or init.d/ but I unable to restart php and it says “Unit php8.0-fpm.service could not be found.”

First, let’s find the service name:
systemctl list-units|grep php
If a service named php comes back, restart it
If nothing comes back, that means we need to find out the web server you’re running:
systemctl list-units|grep 'nginx\|apache' # leave the \ in there
If it comes back apache, restart apache. If it comes back NGINX, let me know here, and I can help further.
Hello, @mraheel83Starfish
You can first check if the php-fpm service is running using the ps command:
- ps axu | grep -i php
The output will help you to see which is the php-fpm process and from there you can restart the php-fpm service using the systemctl command:
- systemctl restart php8.0-fpm.service
Note that your version might be different and you’ll need to substitute 8.0 with the actual php-fpm version that your server runs.

This might sound silly, but where do I enter this command? When I launch Console, it always starts with the initial WP one-click install prompt.
