Title: Problem with AlphaGNU's PHP Manager Upgrade
Post by: Starburst on October 21, 2026, 09:24:45 PM

Anyone else tried AlphaGNU's PHP Manager to update PHP to the latest to fix security hole and notice WordPress Breaks?

And when I says 'Break", I mean it BREAKS, stops working at all, and shows an Unknown PHP version.

I'm having to downgrade PHP to get WordPress working again.

It's worked without a hitch for me, on both Almalinux 8.10 and 9.8, updating both php-fpm and fastcgi versions.
And, just to confirm, all wordpress sites running on these servers are also still working just fine.

These site use PHP Switcher (PHP-CGI).

Both are on AL 9.8

Great, something else do deal with ontop of this PHP mess.
At least php.net release a new version with the bug fix.

I was forced to update php directly myself today on CWP. It is working, everything is 8.3.36. I have disabled all panel ports and nginx redirects.

Multiple servers with almalinux 8 and 9 here.
Updated with the AlphaGNU PHP Manager.
No issues at all.

check the logs. Probably is an extension.

Are you updating just PHP Selector / PHP-FPM?

Or also the main PHP Switcher?

Seems like if you leave the base PHP Switcher alone at whatever version, and upgrade just the other(s) it's OK.
