You should just need to change the config to actually match the version of
PHP installed which is no longer the old one your old config had in it.

Go looking through /use/lib/apache2/modules/ directory on your system, look
and see if there's a PHP library in there. There should be, and likely be a
newer version than 7.4.

You just need to edit the config to match what exists now and every time
you upgrade.
