I had this problem when I was upgrading my Laravel 8 to 9. It required php version 8.0.2+. I was a bit confused because when I ran php -v, it returned php 8.1. I didn’t understand why my system wasn’t working.

It turned out that I had installed php-fpm for php 7.4 and had forgotten/not realized that I had to configure version-specific settings for apache when I installed it.

Looking at the Apache logs /var/log/apache2/my-website-error.log, I was able to see that the error being thrown was referencing php7.4-fpm. Looking into /etc/apache2/conf-available, I saw php7.5-fpm.conf.

I had to apt install php8.0-fpm, and then run a2enmod proxy_fcgi and a2enconf php8.0-fpm (as root). Then, restarting apache (systemctl reload apache2).

OS is Ubuntu 20.04
