I have a Joomla server with NGINX and I've just upgraded my php version from php7.0 to 7.3, but I can't use the new version.

The problem is that in /run/php/ (and /var/run/php/) I can only find php7.0-fpm.pid and php7.0-fpm.sock, but the 7.3 version does not appear, so if I update my site nginx config to:

...
location ~ \.php$ {
            # fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
            fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
            fastcgi_index index.php;
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
        }
...

I get a 502 bad gateway when entering my site.

Why php7.3 hasn't started? How do I switch to 7.3?

PHP-FPM is a system service, just like Nginx is. Look up the standard "service management" operations for your distro (I'm assuming Debian or similar):

  • Display status: systemctl status php7.3-fpm
  • Start manually now: systemctl start php7.3-fpm
  • Auto-start after reboot: systemctl enable php7.3-fpm
