Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): Nextcloud Hub 5 (27.0.2)
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu)
PHP version (eg, 7.4): attempting to move from v8.0.30 to v8.2.8

The issue you are facing:
Trying to update from php 8.0 to php 8.2 but i seem to be missing something. I check other articles but couldn’t figure it out. running php -v from the terminal shows it is php8.2, but nextcloud seems to be still on php 8.0

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Install PHP 8.2 and required modules
  2. Change /etc/alternatives/php to point to 8.2
  3. Check /index.php/settings/admin/overview - still showing 8.0

Can we have the apache config/s please ? You could well be manually referring to an fpm sock…

Thank you for pointing me that direction!
In going to get my configs, I noticed that in mod-enabled I only had php8.0, though I had php8.2 in mods-available. Did some googling and saw I needed to run a2enmod php8.2 and a2dismod php8.0.

I did see those commands in my searches in the forum, but didn’t have enough understanding to know what it was. Now I know that the a2 is Apache2… aka Apache2 enable/disable module. So clear in hindsight. :man_facepalming:

Thanks again.
