How to install php 7.2-7.3 in OSLte -Ubuntu 22.04 ?

#1
Hi, I'm running OLSpd 1.7.16 on Ubuntu 22.04 (under CyberPanel 2.3) and I only get php 7.4 up to 8.0
I need 7.2 and 7.3 and I tried the post below, nothing worked. I'm aware that these old versions may not be available in Ubuntu 22 -so I tried to install them manually.
I run below as root


#1 I followed the std procedure by OSLte, but 7.2 - 7.3 are not available.
https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lsws/extapp/php/getting_started/#source

> sudo apt-cache search lsphp // 7.2 - 7.3 do not show up

> wget -O - https://repo.litespeed.sh | sudo bash // add OLSpeed repo
> apt-get install lsphp72 lsphp72-common lsphp72-curl lsphp72-mysql lsphp72-opcache lsphp72-imap lsphp72-opcache
// error: Unable to locate package lsphp72

// The doc says that old php versions may not show up in newer OS versions
// So, I tried to install them manually



#2 I've installed 7.2 and 7.3 on Ubuntu, but how do I tell OSLte to use them?
https://kifarunix.com/install-php-7-1-7-2-7-3-7-4-on-ubuntu-22-04/
> apt-cache policy php
> add-apt-repository ppa:eek:ndrej/php --yes &> /dev/null
> apt update

> apt install php7.2
> apt install php7.3

// now that 7.2 and 7.3 are installed, how OSLte can use them?

// the above return missing libraries, if I ignore and proceed, I get other errors..

// the sudo below return the error: sudo: unable to execute ./configure: Permission denied
// nothing happen if I change chmod to configure
