Thanks. One problem / request: why does “sudo apt install php7.3″ automatically install the additional packages ” apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php7.3″? I have already got nginx installed, therefore I only require PHP itself.

The solution I used for now was “sudo apt remove –purge apache2 apache2-bin apache2-data apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php7.3” followed by “sudo apt auto-remove”. However I’m sure there is a better way.

In reply to intux. remove everything you find that you installed when you search php7.4 - install the same pacakges ending in php7.3 - restart server.

In reply to Rahul. How can I go back to PHP7.3 from Buster when I go this way? Thanks for your answer!

I like this article, the only issue I have is that I dod not wish to remove my index.html – hence I was not able to access the mail login. Do you have any suggestions?

sudo echo “deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ buster main” | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list

should be

echo “deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ buster main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list

Hi Rahul,

Thank you for your efforts here 🙂

Only missing part when used on Raspbian Buster on a RPi is:

In your setup PPA third command you need a sudo for the last command:
sudo echo “deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ buster main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list

else you will get an error:
sudo echo “deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ buster main” | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list

Br, Olav
