PHP Selector does not apply on a server with DirectAdmin panel

Issue

• PHP Selector on server with DirectAdmin panel does not apply.

• PHP version for end-users is DirectAdmin's system one.

Environment

• CloudLinux 6/7/8
• DirectAdmin

Solution

1. Check php1_mode in the /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/options.conf file.

2. If it is the php-fpm, please note that it is not compatible with CloudLinux PHP Selector. For details, refer to the Compatibility matrix.

3. To resolve the issue, you should install the mod_lsapi instead of php-fpm in accordance with Installing mod_lsapi on DirectAdmin servers.

# yum install liblsapi liblsapi-devel
# cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild 
# ./build update 
# ./build set php1_mode lsphp 
# ./build php n 
# ./build rewrite_confs 

# cagefsctl --force-update 
# cagefsctl --remount-all 
# cagefsctl --setup-cl-selector
