PHP fatal errors on new install

[fsoyer]

Hi there,
I've just installed a new server (Debian 13) with myVesta, and some screens do not work. Example, on main page, I have not the details on the user admin (bandwith, disk, ...). On the web page, no details too on the main site (vesta host). And, if I want to edit it, I have an "internal vesta error" 505. In /var/log/vesta/nginx-error.log, this error :

This is not the first myvesta on debian I installed, but this is the first which give me this errors. Any Idea ?
Debian Trixie 13.3
myvesta 0.9.9-0-13
PHP 8.4 with PHP-FPM 8.4.16-1
Apache 2.4.66-1

well, no reply, no suggestions in 2 days... myVesta was my choice for its functionnalities, but without support, it becomes less interesting

After searching more, I noticed that between my last install (february 2025, vesta-php 0.9.9-0-3) and this new one (vesta-php 0.9.9-0-13) the local php has been highly updated.
"old" myvesta :

new myvesta :

Can it have incompatibilty with php 8 ? It seems compatible since 0.9.9-0-10, but ?...

Replying myself.
Don't worry. After resintalling a fresh Debian 12, no more errors.

To those seeing this post later :
AT THIS TIME, MYVESTACP IS NOT DEBIAN 13 COMPATIBLE.

In first analysis, the php binary in /usr/local/vesta/bin is back to version 5.6.40. I don't understand for now how this "local" php is generated by the install, but in Debian 13 it was in version 8. And, clearly, Vesta isn't compatible with PHP 8...

myVesta is compatible with php8.X+
i have 8.4 and 8.5 installed and they work
it just that myVesta does not officiallly support Debian 13 yet, they are working on it. viewtopic.php?t=1105 You can install on Debian 12 no problem.
