Hi @dwiady,
In order to install PHP 7.4, you need to download and store PPA repository in a file on your Debian Server + the GPG key. To do so, run the following commands:
sudo apt -y install lsb-release apt-transport-https ca-certificates
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg
Once you’ve done this, add the repository:
echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list
Now Update your System and install your PHP version:
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install php7.4

This doesn’t seem to work anymore?.. Is there another way of doing this?
