I just started digging in to fog to modernise our fleet management, so bare with me if I made some crucial first mistake.
I am running fog on a baremetal server on a fresh Linux-Mint 22.3.
I access the webinterface using https and the hostname of the component.
I updated the php.ini in /etc/php/8.4 to allow for longer script time (90seconds) and updated the post_max_size to 8000M.

The Upload seems to be running fine. The bar in the webUI fills up. After a while it will get give me a toast that fog-server returned a


In /var/log/apache2 I can finde the following error:

I could only find an older thread about php 8 not being supported. Is that an issue of PHP 8 not being supported but used anyway? Is there a way of forcing fog to user another php version? (The /etc/php folder does contain more subfolders with diferent versions so they seem to be available?)
Looking forward to feedback.
