Cant access Control Pannel after Upgrade to 3.2

Hi All

I cant access the control panel landing page after I upgraded to 3.2.
I am getting mails can send mail. Can log into web mail, all websites are working.
I am running Debian 9.13 all packages have been updated.
I have tried https://**.****.co.za:8080 and https://888.888.888.888:8080 and either work

I get the following error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log

I only got 2 errors during the update:
● amavis.service loaded failed failed LSB: Starts amavisd-new m
amavisd-snmp-subagent.service loaded active exited LSB: Startup script for a
apache2.service loaded active running The Apache HTTP Server
atd.service loaded active running Deferred execution schedu
bind9.service loaded active running BIND Domain Name Server
● certbot.service loaded failed failed

 

Thank you for the reply. I have copied some lines from the var/log/apache2/error.log and var/log/apache2/error.log.1

If you require more please let me know. Also if you could give me a better way to copy it all in one go or export it to a file would be better

 

Lines are cut short in the attached ispconf_apache.txt. Instead of painting the text on screen. press Control-A to select it all and then copy to clipboard.

 

Hi Taleman

Hope this one is better its the error.log but only from the 27th as that is the date i did the upgrade

 

There are quite a lot of errors in that log, but they are the same errors over and over again. I don't like to get to read 24 hours worth of logs when you could have edited it to show only the time when problem appears.
Anyway, start with this:

Hi Taleman
I have run the ISPConfig test script as per the link. The results are in the attached file.

Problems with Websites or PHP - All Sites appear to be working - Running apache

Hi Th0m

I have rebooted a few times

 

This probably is your problem:

Code:

[INFO] php (cli) version is 7.0.33-0+deb9u10
[INFO] php-cgi (used for cgi php in default vhost!) is version 5.6.40-0+deb8u10

ISPConfig on Debian 9 needs PHP version 7.0, it does now work with 5.6 on that configuration.
I don't know how php is version 5.6, maybe you have additional php versions and have not set the default back to OS system original? Or you have upgraded from older debian and the PHP upgrade has not completed properly?

 

I have run the ISPConfig test script as per the link. The results are in the attached file.

Email problems - None can send and receive
Problems with Websites or PHP - All Sites appear to be working - Running apache
DNS Problems - Cant see any issues

I did do an upgrade, would it be safe to uninstall PHP5 and upgrade to 7.4

 

What is safe is using the PHP version that comes as default with the operating system.
Also, if some of your websites needs PHP 5.6 since it does not work with later versions, you can not uninstall it.
Have you set up additional PHP versions on ISPConfig?

 

It requires default php that come with your OS version. Any upgrade to higher version or downgrade to lower version of php, might cause ISPConfig failure both in GUI and CLI.

 

Hi

So I have now upgrade to Debian 10 all packages are up to date PHP is now ver7 as can be seen below

Code:

PHP 7.0.33-34+0~20201018.42+debian9~1.gbp80c9be (cli) (built: Oct 18 2020 21:35:49) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.33-34+0~20201018.42+debian9~1.gbp80c9be, Copyright (c) 1999-2017, by Zend Technologies

But the following still shows up. I know it can be changed in the control panel but i cant access it.
Is there any way to change it manually by editing a config file.?

Code:

##### VERSION CHECK #####

[INFO] php (cli) version is 7.0.33-34+0~20201018.42+debian9~1.gbp80c9be
[INFO] php-cgi (used for cgi php in default vhost!) is version 5.6.40-0+deb8u10

 

The OS and ISPConfig may be much messed up now, but it might work better if you change default PHP version to what it was originally in Debian 10. Do this

Code:

update-alternatives --config php
update-alternatives --config php-cgi

and choose 7.3, since that is PHP version in Debian 10. If you do not believe me and @Jesse Norell see here:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=php7&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all
If you updated the OS from Debian 9 to Debian 10, follow the ISPConfig Perfect Server Guide for Debian 10 to get all necessary packages installed and configurations done. Then force reconfigure services in ISPConfig so configuration files get written.

 

I am not sure about Debian but Sury php repo sometimes did change my php version to the latest instead of keeping the default that come with my Ubuntu OS so I scripted a cronjob to ensure default php is always the one shipped with the OS in the second part of the post in the following link:
https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/monitor-default-php.83288/

You may or may not need it though.
