The error message "Failed to start php8.2-fpm.service: Unit php8.2-fpm.service is masked" indicates that the PHP-FPM service for version 8.2 is currently masked on your system. Masking a service means that it is disabled and cannot be started or managed through the usual service management commands.
To resolve this issue and start the PHP-FPM service, you can follow these steps:
-
Unmask the service: Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command as the root user or with sudo privileges:
sudo systemctl unmask php8.2-fpm.service - Start the service: Once the service is unmasked, you can start it using the following command:
sudo systemctl start php8.2-fpm.service - Verify the service status: Check the status of the service to ensure it started successfully by running the command:
sudo systemctl status php8.2-fpm.service
This should unmask and start the PHP-FPM service for version 8.2 on your system. If you encounter any further issues or error messages, it may be helpful to check the system logs or seek assistance from your system administrator or the PHP community for troubleshooting specific to your environment.
