cPanel Ubuntu 20 ELevate blocker: ea-php80

When running the cPanel ELevate check on Ubuntu 20, you may encounter the following blocker:

* Elevation Blocker detected: ***
  One or more EasyApache 4 package(s) are not compatible with Ubuntu 22.04.
  Please remove these packages before continuing the update.
  - ea-php80
  - ea-php80-pear
  - ea-php80-php-bcmath
  ...

Solution

Ubuntu 22 does not support PHP 8.0 (ea-php80). To resolve this:

1. Log in to WHM and navigate to EasyApache 4.
2. Remove PHP 8.0 (ea-php80) from the profile.
3. If not already enabled, we recommend enabling PHP 8.1 as a replacement.
4. Apply the changes.

After removing PHP 8.0, re-run the ELevate check:

/scripts/elevate-cpanel --check
