Installing PHP 8.1 to Add PHP support to Nginx on Ubuntu

 Install PHP for Nginx with PHP-FPM:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends php8.1 [Apache HTTP server and its httpd process]

sudo apt-get install php8.1-fpm -y [For PHP-FPM works with nginx]

php -v

sudo apt-get install -y php8.1-cli php8.1-common php8.1-mysql php8.1-zip php8.1-gd php8.1-mbstring php8.1-curl php8.1-xml php8.1-bcmath php8.1-imap

server {

  # Example PHP Nginx FPM config file

  listen 80 default_server;

  listen [::]:80 default_server;

  root /var/www/html;

  # Add index.php to setup Nginx, PHP & PHP-FPM config

  index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

  server_name _;

  location / {

    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

  }

  # pass PHP scripts on Nginx to FastCGI (PHP-FPM) server

  location ~ \.php$ {

    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

    # Nginx php-fpm sock config:

    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock;

    # Nginx php-cgi config :

    # Nginx PHP fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;

  }

  # deny access to Apache .htaccess on Nginx with PHP, 

  # if Apache and Nginx document roots concur

  location ~ /\.ht {

    deny all;

  }

} # End of PHP FPM Nginx config example

sudo nginx -t

sudo systemctl restart nginx
