Make nginx to use php7.2

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 8171 / 3 Years ago, thu, june 3, 2021, 12:55:23

I upgraded PHP from Version 7.0.27 to 7.2 on ubuntu16.04 with nginx.

PHP 7.0 to PHP 7.2 - How to upgrade your server

When I run php -v on terminal, I can see:

PHP 7.2.2-3+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Feb  6 2018 16:11:23) ( NTS )

Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group

Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies

with Zend OPcache v7.2.2-3+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

with Xdebug v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2018, by Derick Rethans

But when I see in browser echoing phpinfo(), it shows the older version of PHP like:

PHP Version 7.0.27-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1

That means nginx is not using PHP7.2
Where I need to configure for this.
Please, any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

To augment Thomas' answer, this is the file you need to change:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

or if you are running several sites on one nginx:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_site_name

change this part in it

server {



    ...



    location ~ .php$ {

        ...

        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;

    }



    ...

}

php7.0-fpm.sock to php7.2-fpm.sock
