okay, well i'd want to continue to run php as an apache2 module, instead of that fpm stuff that i've never used before.
but i know how to re-install it, and how that can sometimes be useful, according to you, someone who specializes in hosting and server maintenance.
however, i got a fresh *.iso file from
kubuntu.com for installing this 22.04 installation,
and just restore a backup of /etc/nginx, /etc/apache2 and /etc/letsencrypt.
so i was hoping it would work without flaws right out of the .iso box
but it didnt :(
btw, as a guy specializing in pixel art forms and database backend code,
i got little other options but to post on this list and
askubuntu.comi'm sorry about not knowing which log files to post,
and not wanting to reveal my /etc files
(however i can vouch for their validity, i've even taken a look at it,
and apache2 and nginx config files i can read perfectly well by now) because that would be revealing security sensitive data,
but to post all of my code would be just far too many lines of code for you all to read,
and would also harm me in the paycheck that i hope to one day get for 22 years of my time on all of this.
