How Do I upgrade to PHP 7.3

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set php1_release 7.3
# This one might not be needed.
./build set php1_mode php-fpm

./build set mod_ruid2 no
./build php n
./build rewrite_confs
Here are the commands. Please run them in the same order as there in.
And you might not need the php1_mode but thats something you know best.

And its also possible to do this via the webpanel itself.

1. Login as admin.
2. Go to CustomBuilds -> Edit Options
3. Change php1_release to 7.3
 
And is there a reason to use PHP 7.3? Or can you update to 7.4?
For as far as i know php 7.3 and below are End of Life and only PHP 7.4 still gets security updates.
In the next couple of months PHP 8 will take over when support is more wide spread since PHP 8 is already released but support by developers is a bit hit and miss at the moment.

Nope as was wrong. PHP 7.3 is still maintained as security fixes. But the End of Life for PHP 7.3 is comming soon. So i still would recommend if possible to update to PHP 7.4.

Please where can I see CustomBuilds in the Admin Panel. I have been checking without success.
Thanks for your help.

Its by the Extra features part and then the last one.
But if you use the search function you will also find it.
 
Bought from a hosting company
Aaaa, then this makes more sense.

Since you has access to the admin panel I asumed you hosted it youself on a server/VPS.
But now I understand (And please correct me if I am still wrong.) You get a DirectAdmin panel from your hosting company and they are responsible for the server/VPS. So you need to ask your hosting company to allow PHP 7.3/7.4 to be installed/used.
