apt update && apt upgrade openlitespeedapt remove lsphp73*Hello all,
For native OpenLiteSpeed/LiteSpeed, we can install PHP from LiteSpeed official repository.
More, https://docs.litespeedtech.com/extapp/php/getting_started/
Since the image should have this repository installed, we can simply install packages directory like this
Example for lsphp80
OpenLiteSpeed comes with PHP detached mode by default, so need to restart PHP with the command
killall -9 lsphpto make settings take effect.More, https://docs.litespeedtech.com/cloud/images/wordpress/#how-do-i-use-lsphp80
In your case, you can replace lsphp80 with lsphp74 and it should work
Thank you @qtwrk
