Installing PHP 7.4 on Ubuntu v22.04.4 running cPanel Version 120.0.8

I have a few accounts on my server that (unfortunately) still require PHP 7.4.

I am running 

Ubuntu v22.04.4 STANDARD

cPanel Version

120.0.8

 

Since EasyApache 4 is only giving me options for PHP 8.1 or 8.2, I have attempted to manually install (via CLI) using the 'add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/...' method without success.  Understanding that this isn't technically supported, how can this server run 8.2, 8.1 and 7.4?

Thank you in advance!

  While I have not used it on Ubuntu, you could look at Hardened PHP for CloudLinux.  I'm sure the CloudLInux folks would be happy to answer questions about it.

  @ffeingol, Thank you for the response! I will definitely consider this. It does not appear that they support Ubuntu v22, but this could be a possible solution!

  Ubuntu 22 only supports php 8.1 and above.

  You can use ubuntu 20.04 and cpanel 118 version to use php 7.4 in ubuntu without using additional software.

  Ubuntu 20.04 does not support cpanel 120 version, so you must edit the cpupdate.conf file to install cpanel 118 version on ubuntu 20.04.

  I have the same situation.  I need PHP 7.4 for some projects and HWM 120 doesn't have or permit installation of this PHP version.  Somebody has a solution implemented ?  Please your comments.

  Vladimir De - if you need older versions of PHP you should be using the CloudLinux operating system.
