    Hi ,
    I'm currently planning to migrate a debian wheezy mail server running ISPconfig version 3.1.13 to Debian 10 Buster.
    I'm getting however error with php-curl module, it's just saying it's missing php-curl module and exiting the installer.
    Has anyone encountered similar problem before. I'm not finding any relevant post here or on the internet on how to install this particular module, although I've installed curl.
    Is better if I upgrade to Jessie and Stretch before do the migration?

    No.

    What's missing is PHP curl module, not the curl program itself. The install command is either:

    Code:
    apt-get install php-curl
    or if this does not work, try:

    Code:
    apt-get install php5-curl

    Hi Till,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have tried both of this commands, but no success:
    Code:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:                                                                       │

    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    That's the error I'm getting with :

    Code:
    apt-get install php5-curl
    but when I check the version it is actually : 5.4.45-0+deb7u14
    Code:
    php --version                                                                                            │

    Maybe "apt-get update" would find consistent package versions to use. If not, you might need to find a good/"current" source of wheezy packages to switch to (search the web, I imagine). Another alternative might be to just install a bullseye server with current ISPConfig version and use the migration tool to bring your data over.

    It might be that you have to change sources.list to the Debian archive servers if you can't install Debian packages on the old server.

    I've updated the system to latest possible.
    The new server is already with latest ISPConfiguration, the problem is I can't do the migration without the php-curl module.
     
  8. Stoyan_V

    Stoyan_V New Member

    I did that as well, it's updated from the archive source.

    Then you must be able to install the php curl module as it exists for wheezy.

    It's just giving me error for not existing package:
    Code:
    apt-get install php-curl                                                     │

    The error message in #4 states
    Code:
    you have held broken packages.
    Check for packages in HOLD state,
    Code:
    dpkg --get-selections "*" | grep -i hold
    It may be the APT system is in a broken state, it may be non-trivial to fix.

    What installer is being exited?

    Hi Taleman,
    It didn't produce any output, so I'm guessing there aren't any broken/hold packages.

    It's the Ispconfig migration tool

    Please re-read my post, I suggested you to run this command in case the first one fails:

    apt-get install php5-curl

    Most likely one os the used repositories is not up to date or something similar. Please run

    apt-get update

    command and post the whole output that you get when running the command.

    Hi Till,
    thanks that got me to some progress.
    I added the security repository and changed the date to before certificates have expired, that allowed me to run apt and install php5-curl.
    Migration tools starts now without error.
