Issue How can I define command-line interpreter for PHP 7.4

[Martin73]

I've installed PHP 7.4 according to these instructions. I have also read that Plesk 18 (Obsidian) doesn't use OS PHP. So I uninstalled PHP 7.2 because it's outdated. But now I have no command-line interpreter defined. How can I do this for PHP 7.4?

Ubuntu 18.04.3
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.33

simply symlink the actually php binary to /bin or something.
link -s /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php /bin/php

Now if you run

php -v

It'll be the PHP version.

To undo it or change the version, just rm /bin/php, and resymlink the other version's binary

Thank you! This was the solution, but without "-s".
link /opt/plesk/php/7.4/bin/php /bin/php

Sorry, was thinking in PHP yesterday. I meant ln -s, not link.

link creates a hard link, while ln can do both
