PHP Installation fails on Ubuntu 24.10

[FrasSmith]

Installing on a clean install of Ubuntu 24.10 in a VM. When PHP is selected as a programming language the repository that is added to /etc/apt/sources.list.d has no release candidate.

This results in the script crashing when it attempts to install PHP.

The script cannot be run again after this, nor can sudo apt update be run again until the repo is manually removed.

right, ppa:ondrej/php repository does not support non-LTS Ubuntu versions, so we could remove the ppa and install the ubuntu stock php version

a quick fix would be to comment out this line when using 24.10, or removing it altogether. The main issue here is taht php8.4 is out now and the default for ubuntu 24.04/10 is 8.3, so without it it wont be the latest

That would be a quick fix on a clean install. I'm going to try in a 24.04 vm first and then I might investigate getting the script up and running on 24.10. Ultimately, I was thinking of seeing if I could fork it and get it going on Debian 12, but that's a longer term project. :-)
