stop / disable php 7.4

if you upgraded from previous version

rcctl stop php74_fpm
rcctl disable php74_fpm

start / restart services

finally, start the services

nginx -t && rcctl restart nginx php80_fpm

phpinfo

create the famous phphinfo page

cat << 'EOF' > /var/www/virtual/add-your-server-here/index.php
<? phpinfo() ?>
EOF

Check Page

open your page: https://ip-of-your-server and you should get somethink like this:

php8

Install Module

pkg_add php-sqlite3-8.0.9

Activate Module

list all available modules and symlink all you want

# ls /etc/php-*
/etc/php-8.0.ini  /etc/php-fpm.conf

/etc/php-8.0:

/etc/php-8.0.sample:
opcache.ini sqlite3.ini

/etc/php-fpm.d:

# ln -sf /etc/php-8.0.sample/sqlite3.ini /etc/php-8.0/

Restart Service

nginx -t && rcctl restart nginx php80_fpm

and check Status Page again :)

php8

You should repeat this Step with all Modules you need …

for the lazy ones …

Install all Modules

for i in `pkg_info -Q php |grep 8.0.9|grep -v -E "debug-|installed"`; do pkg_add $i; done

cd /etc/php-8.0.sample
for i in *; do ln -sf /etc/php-8.0.sample/$i /etc/php-8.0/; done
nginx -t && rcctl restart nginx php80_fpm
