Removing php7.4 on Ubuntu 22.04

In a previous post we removed Xoops from our server. And in a previous post from that we installed a test server with some goodies. In this post we are going to be removing some more of that stuff and preparing our server to install some new stuff. We are basically cleaning up our server. If you do lots of testing of things that most likely don’t work or they are outdated, like I do, then we have some house work to do.

Removing PHP7

sudo apt remove --purge php7.4-{cli,common,curl,zip,gd,mysql,xml,mbstring,json,intl,fpm} libapache2-mod-php7.4

Press Enter to Continue.

Now we are going to go ahead and remove the repository we used to originally install php7.4.

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ondrej/php

Press Enter to Continue.

And then we want to wipe anything out that is no longer needed. (My system definitely needs this as I have lots of apt installs and removals)

sudo apt autoremove

That should do it. Now, onto building our own CMS from Scratch!
