Hey,
so i followed these steps here : howtoforge/update-the-ispconfig-perfect-server-from-ubuntu-20-04-to-ubuntu-22-04/
At steps 4 i have errors related to php being deperecated and on steps five i can't access ispconfig because apache is returning syntax error in his config for php.
I'm unable to configure the new PHP paths as instructed in Step 5 because I can't access ISPConfig due to Apache failing to start.
I was never able to get the antivirus for mail working.

 

Can you check whether you have done all things in steps #3 by doing it again? This last part is necessary as I did it anyway and I checked all other php version packages too, just in case:

Continue to do steps #4, #5 and #6 again thereafter without missing any thing. Do note especially:

 

With step for i have :

Code:

I installed php 7.4

 

Check your apache2.conf file for error as mentioned in there.

Installing php7.4 and checking for all other php version packages is just optional. The reason I asked you to redo things in step #3 is to make sure you didn't miss any. So far your earlier report clearly said you have the right php for your Ubuntu 22.04 server.

An extra and last note: Try creating swap. With your minimal amount of RAM, I am pretty sure you need it to run your server properly.

 

The line that has a problem is :

Code:

IncludeOptional mods-enabled/*.load

Can you tell me how to do the swap ?

 

Try Internet Search Engines with

Code:

ubuntu 22.04 add swap

or

Code:

how to add swap on ubuntu

 

The problem may be on previous line or lines, it just detects the error on that line and reports line number. Show context, a few lines before and after that reported line.

 

Here is the place :

Code:

# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>
# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
# logged here.  If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>
# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.
#
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

#
# LogLevel: Control the severity of messages logged to the error_log.
# Available values: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the log level for particular modules, e.g.
# "LogLevel info ssl:warn"
#
LogLevel warn

# Include module configuration:
IncludeOptional mods-enabled/*.load
IncludeOptional mods-enabled/*.conf

# Include list of ports to listen on
Include ports.conf

 

I am not sure this exists, as I have ditched apache2 for nginx more than 7 years ago, but, in my mind, it may not, so I'd suggest disabling it / commenting it out, if so.

 

After commenting the line i have this error :

Code:

You can simply "google" it as suggested by @Taleman above. Try https://serverfault.com/a/1068435 or https://askubuntu.com/a/1422843

 

So, what is in Apache error log?
The syntax error may be in one of the files in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ -directory, that the IncludeOptinal tries to load. Or maybe the enabled mod is not installed?

 

the issue is not having

Code:

# Include module configuration:
IncludeOptional mods-enabled/*.load
IncludeOptional mods-enabled/*.conf

in your apache2.conf file, i have the same in mine, and it's been working perfectly fine for ages.
although it's possible you have a hidden character or something in there, which might be worth checking for.

your posted snippet also shows:

Code:

May 30 12:09:57 mail.****.online apachectl[465108]: apache2: Syntax error on line 146 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache>

a syntax error on line 3, although it's cut off, so we can't see what file.
it may be that you have a problem, maybe an opening quote or other character that gets closed somewhere on or before line 146 and causes the later error.

 

The fact that it was working before the upgrade is weird.

 

It is not at all weird. Different version of an application may need different configuration settings.

 

Code:

 apache2: Syntax error on line 146 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php7.4.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.4.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here is what makes apache fail to start.

 

Have you disabled php7.4 module and enabled php8.1 module for apache2? Again, I don't use apache2.

 

So now it is working, i updated all in ispconfig panel.
But now my roundcube page do not exist. When i get access to it i have :

Code:

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Thanks for the help so far !

 

So, what is now in Apache log? Check other log files that have recent time stamp.
Run the common issues script again just in case.
