I've Ubuntu 16.04, and I ran the below command

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

The final result looks like this:


Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it

gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp94jbo60i/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp94jbo60i/pubring.gpg' created

gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
OK

then I run this:

sudo apt-get update

The result of this command is:


Get:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease [109 kB]
Hit:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease
Get:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease [109 kB]

Hit:7 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/apache2/ubuntu xenial InRelease
Hit:8 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu xenial InRelease

and then I run this code to install php8.0:

sudo apt install php8.0-fpm libapache2-mod-fcgid

It always returns:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package php8.0-fpm
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php8.0-fpm'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'php8.0-fpm'

I highly appreciate it if anyone knows and shares the solution.

16.04 is beyond Standard Support and is offtopic here on Ask Ubuntu, per the Help Center (https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic).

[Ubuntu 16.04 LTS has reached the end of it's *standard* support life](https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/03/13/extended-security-maintenance-for-ubuntu-16-04-xenial-xerus-begins-april-30-2021/) thus is now off-topic here unless your question is specific to helping you move to a supported release of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 16.04 ESM support is available, but not on-topic here, see https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic See also https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-16-04-lts-transitions-to-extended-security-maintenance-esm

Since php 5.something fpm is part of the core php, not a separate package. So if you have installed php8.0 then you should just need to enable it (probably sudo a2enconf php8.0-fpm but I am only guessing here).

If you look at the package details for the repository you added you can see what is in the php8.0 package: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/+packages?field.name_filter=php8.0&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
