    Hello togehter,
    Code:
    ##### SERVER #####
    IP-address (as per hostname): ***.***.***.***
    [WARN] could not determine server's ip address by ifconfig
    [INFO] OS version is Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
    [INFO] ISPConfig is installed.
    ##### ISPCONFIG #####
    ISPConfig version is 3.3.1p1
    ##### VERSION CHECK #####
    [INFO] php (cli) version is 8.3.30
    [INFO] php-cgi (used for cgi php in default vhost!) is version 8.3.30
    I have a strange problem - the Server is fresh installed with all php Versions from 5.6 - 8.5. When I create a new Web Site I can't chose FCGI at drop down - only php-fpm is shown here. Any Ideas why? I took a look at the additonal PHP Versions and that part is filled like it should be.
    Binaries that are metioned there are in place - I installed it via
    wget -O - https://get.ispconfig.org | sh -s -- --no-mail --no-dns --no-local-dns --no-roundcube --no-mailman --debug
    Thanks for that - very easy :)
    Any ideas where to look at?
    Cheers, carg

    FCGI is the predecessor of php-fpm, fcgi should not be used anymore today on new systems and is therefore disabled. if you want to enable it nontheless, you can do that under system > Interface config. But be aware that fcgi will get removed sooner or later, so you would have to reconfigure all your sites then. Therefore, better use php-fpm right away.
