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
