After installing PHP8.1 the php -v reverted back to PHP7.4

[JohnVida]

Hello,
I fallowed this tutorial to install php8.1 https://serverok.in/openlitespeed-c...1782ccd550aa38e98997186178dcab6#comment-66286
Since I was not able to compile PHP through OpenLiteSpeed Tools->Compile PHP

After I successfully installed the php8.1 and ran php -v command, now it shows that the current php versions is 7.4.

Any thoughts / suggestions how do I change the php version to 8.1? So when I run the php -v command it shows up as 8.1?
Thnaks.

The lsphp81 default installation path should be "/usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/". If you did not have a symlink set to "/usr/bin/php", please run "/usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/bin/lsphp -v" if you want to check the version manually.

Thank you @Cold-Egg for the info.
It turned out that the lsphp81-modules-source is what reverted back to php7.4 (so I omitted that command from install command).
Once I discovered that, I was able to install php 8.1 and I recreated the symlink to point to "/usr/local/lsws/lsphp81/bin/php".

I installed OpenLiteSpeed on vultr along with WordPress site.
Now I am trying to add (virtual host) another small Laravel app on the same server (IP).
The WordPress site is agnote.com and the subdomain (the other other app I am trying to add) starts with "crm." (i do not want to type out the full url, because I do not want it to be indexed.
The subdomain is slow, very sloooow, just loading a very simple login form. And at the moment it still not working. Something with the routs. If "Rewrite" is OFF, I get 404, if I turn it on I get "419 | PAGE EXPIRED". That is usually a sign of unwanted caching.

Any ideas on what settings to tweak to speed up the site and to get the other urls working.
Thank you.

Hi,
Glad to know the PHP version issue got resolved.
To avoid mixing the issue together, could you open a new thread for the new issue?
