No, because the functionality of the panel is optimized for the default PHP version.

This is the right way.

Hello, i changed PHP to 7.4.3, but in my XenForo ACP i still see 7.2. Have i to restart apache2 or a whole server for changes?

Changed for the Server or for the Domain ?

Right Way: Login as admin >> Domains >> Edit Domain >> PHP-Interpreter >> change PHP Version >> Save ...

Now wait ~60 Seconds and it run ... normaly

What is the best recommendation for PHP interpreter ?

Should I install the latest - currently 7.4.3 or something) and attempt to use the latest version for each site ?

Or is it recommended to stick to the v7.2 default version ?

It's a matter of taste, I think.
Everyone as he needs it.
Personally, I use the default of the OS in productive operation.
To develop and tinker, mostly the latest available.
Everyone has to decide for themselves.

I installed 7.4, but im having some issues with SSL handshake, so i will probably move back to 7.2, because on 7.2 it was fine.

So I haven't had any problems in that direction.
At least not that I consciously noticed them.
The only negative is that some old-established functions have been blown out, but you already know that.

As usual, PHP Info.
Shows you all current configuration settings.

info.php

Code: Select all

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Ok thanks! And if i can ask, where is php.ini or info.php file location on VPS server?

info.php you create yourself on your web space with the posted content.
Then you call them up as normal via the browser.
You will be shown all PHP values e.g. loaded modules etc., including the path to the php.ini used.
