Upgrading PHP from 7.3.22-1+focal to 7.4

[fw2ty]

Hello everybody,

I am running a WordPress website using Google Cloud Platform OpenLiteSpeed deployment. Since PHP 7.4 is out, I would like to upgrade. I have tried running sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade and it resulted in my PHP version updating from v7.3.17-1+focal to 7.3.22-1+focal. How do I update it further to PHP 7.4?
Things that I have already tried:
sudo apt install php7.4 - resulted in PHP -v output showing PHP 7.4.3, but WordPress still stays at 7.3
sudo apt install lsphp74 - no changes
sudo apt remove lsphp73 - crashed my website

no remove need.

Thank you for your answer. I wasn't previously able to go to port 7080, but the document inside the first comment helped me, specifically this command:
ufw allow 7080

Thank you so much!
The problem I had was that I was not able to go to port 7080(endless loading), but there was a command inside your document that helped:
ufw allow 7080

Yes, port 7080 is not allowed by default for security purpose

Hi there,
I am trying this nearly two years after you wrote this.
I see that "Command" now has this value in it: `fcgi-bin/lsphpnew`
What should I change that too?

Actually … I've since discovered simply following the full instructions on the above-mention post/article does the trick. Thanks.
