hello everyone, let me show you how I install unit-php and cannot understand why it now installs the php8.4 version and why a configuration file I have always used no longer works

Ubuntu 24.04:

- LC\_ALL=C.UTF-8 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
- apt update
- apt upgrade
- apt install php8.3-cli
- wget [Welcome to NGINX Unit](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nginx/unit/master/tools/setup-unit) && chmod +x setup-unit
- sudo ./setup-unit repo-config apt ubuntu nobel
- apt install unit
- apt install unit-php

After this step, install php8.4, which might work for me, but I do not understand why the following configuration should not work if it has worked so far

{  
“listeners”: {  
“127.0.0.1:8080”: {  
“pass”: “applications/test”  
}  
},

“applications”: {  
“test”: {  
“type”: “php”,  
“root”: “/web/http/test/”,  
“options”: {  
“admin”: {  
“memory\_limit”: “32M”,  
“variables\_order”: “EGPCS”,  
“expose\_php”: “0”,  
“zlib.output\_compression”: “0”,  
“zlib.output\_compression\_level”: “-1”,  
“post\_max\_size”: “32M”,  
“upload\_max\_filesize”: “16M”,  
“max\_execution\_time”: “60”,  
“max\_input\_time”: “60”,  
“default\_socket\_timeout”: “120”  
},

```
    "user": {
        "display_errors": "0"
    }
 }
}

```

}  
}

Does anyone have any ideas or can give me any advice? Thanks for your help
