Hello all... I was wondering i have Ubuntu 12.04 with ISPconfig 3.0.5.3 I would like to simply do a "do release upgrade" Anyone see any caveats? One main reason is that we have a few clients wanting PHP 5.4 Thanks..
Dont do it I just stoopidly ran a dist-upgrade on my server, and now it's borked completely. Looks like FCGIWrapper is foobar'd and I don't know enough to get it working again. Now I can still FTP into all the accounts on the server, and I am hoping that MySQL is still all ok, it's just apache2 that seems to be a huge mess, so if anyone would like to help me fix it I would really appreciate it, and we can post the fix in case anyone else runs into the same issue. I am so gutted, the server was working perfectly for months and months, I always keep it up to date, just today I did the update, as I always do, and this time, bang! No more. I don't really want to have to reinstall the whole server just to get it back to a working server again, as I have too much data on there I don't want to lose so please someone help. :'( Thanks Christian.
Did u checked http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-s...2-php-mysql-pureftpd-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 Your database should be ok.
Thanks for the reply Chris... I will be very careful then and read that post... sorry to hear about your issues... I am sure you can fix it, just need to go one step at a time and have patients... Start to post some errors or log files and descriptions of one problem and lets go from there... Good luck buddy!
Hey CHris go over this page and see if anything differs from the install with 12.04 http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-s...hp-mysql-pureftpd-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p4 It seems some stuff is slightly different... go over it carefully Let us know how it goes... as to help others. Thanks...
OK so I've gone through some of the examples... I don't think i'm anywhere better off, perhaps a little worse off, feel like I have just borked my server completely. :'( So I start at .. Step 14: Install Apache2, PHP5, phpMyAdmin, FCGI, suExec, Pear, And mcrypt Because the server is working, I can already SSH in and the steps before seem to check out. The results for step 14 are: Code: root@sam:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-cert libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imap phpmyadmin php5-cli php5-cgi libapache2-mod-fcgid apache2-suexec php-pear php-auth php5-curl php5-mcrypt mcrypt php5-imagick imagemagick libapache2-mod-suphp libruby libapache2-mod-ruby libapache2-mod-python libapache2-mod-perl2 Reading package lists...

This is as far as I want to go on my own now, as I really don't want to mess it up further. I have managed to get a full dump of my sql database including all users etc, just in case this can all be sorted and got back to a working ISPConfig setup with the current sites etc. Thanks guys for helping me out.
I narrowed the problem down to the 100-sitename.conf file in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ folder having the following line that causes an error now after the original update this morning. Code: FCGIWrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/web12/.php-fcgi-starter .php So if I put a hash to remark it out, and restart apache2 it starts up ok, but now whenever I try to go to the site, rather than displaying the webpage, it just wants to download the page in the browser.
... and when I run step 14.2... Code: root@sam:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# apt-get install libapache2-mod-fastcgi php5-fpm Reading package lists...

O...M...G... I think I have sorted it, it's not 100% back, but jeez what a half day of sweaty mc face plants! OK so what I did in the end was add the repository for a different version of Apache2... Code: add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/apache2 (ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21390544/installing-apache-2-4-and-php-5-5-on-ubuntu-12-04) Then I just followed the instructions 1-3 from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1038416 and then ... in the folder /etc/apache2/sites-enabled i created a symlink to the ispconfig vhosts file Code: ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.vhost /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.conf Then restarting apache... Code: service apache2 restart finally this seemed to allow me to access my ISPconfig interface (phew). After logging into ISPConfig, I went straight to the Tools tab and ran a resync on the websites... and after a few minutes, the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled folder was once more populated with my sites and symlinks. Most of the sites seem now to work, bar a couple with are giving me an error 500... so I will be looking into that shortly. I was seriously expecting to be up half the night pulling my hair out with this... but I was so lucky to find things to try that actually worked without breaking it further. Now, the next thing I want to figure out is how to do a complete backup of the server so if it went t!t$ up again or worse, how I can just wipe and start again, and restore the server completely. Perhaps a VM would be better and using my server as a host server, that way I could just backup the VM and it wouldn't be so hard to do a full restore? Idea's please, and suggestions... I never got VM's to work so a little confused. thanks again guys.
What helped me, was going to Extra, and sync the websites. After you checked the configuration-style for Apache in your server config. This will rebuild all the apache configuration files for you, in new-style.
