After the recent Debian 10->11-> 12 upgrade ( noticed on phpmyadmin and /var/www/html) dropped to 5.6. The phpmyadmin is in /usr/share/phpmyadmin Browsing shows: PHP 7.2.5+ is required. Currently installed version is: 5.6.40-0+deb8u12 Before the upgrade it worked and run ispconfig_update --force and I've reconfigured services a couple of times.

AH00013: Pre-configuration failed I since then changed back to # a2enmod mpm_prefork I have also restarted apache2. What else could I look for?
Apache won't start. Is there anything else that should be done in combination? Perhaps a --force upgrade? # a2dismod php5 Module php5 disabled. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: systemctl restart apache2 # systemctl restart apache2 Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

Most likely there is php5 somewhere in use in one of the configs at /etc/apache2/conf-enabled or /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. Check with a configtest to see what causes the issue. Code: apachectl configtest
Thank you. From the ispconfig panel it seems several old sites use fast cgi 5.6, but should I look for mod 5.6 and replace them before I attempt to remote and restart it again or can't there be any sites using 5.6 at all?
If you need php5 re-enable the module. Then edit /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf and add this include line: Code: <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin> Options FollowSymLinks DirectoryIndex index.php AllowOverride All include /etc/apache2/conf-available/php8.2-fpm.conf Then restart apache2. This should then use php8.2 for phpmyadmin.
apache restarted fine, but the phpmyadmin still shows php5.6. It looks like this now: cat /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf Code: # phpMyAdmin default Apache configuration Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin> Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch DirectoryIndex index.php include /etc/apache2/conf-available/php8.2-fpm.conf # limit libapache2-mod-php to files and directories necessary by pma <IfModule mod_php7.c> php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/php/:/usr/share/javascript/ </IfModule> # PHP 8+ <IfModule mod_php.c> php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/php/:/usr/share/javascript/ </IfModule> </Directory> # Disallow web access to directories that don't need it <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/templates> Require all denied </Directory> <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries> Require all denied </Directory>
I am not so well versed in apache2 but they look good to me. There is another way suggested which I found when googling around which may be you wanna try. Again, not sure if it is good. Code: <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/" </FilesMatch> I suggested the latest php supported by PMA which is php8.3 if you have it installed, though you may also stick to default php8.2 if you want to.
Thank you, it worked for phpmysql! I also had to enable a2enmod proxy_fcgi (a2enmod proxy was already) for it to work. What I still really don't understand is why the default settings det by update-alternatives didn't do anything.
Did you follow - https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-from-debian-10-to-debian-11/ - https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-from-debian-11-to-debian-12/
Yes, thank you. I did and everything else seems to work, except that /var/www/html is also in php5.6.
I think the correct way is to remove mod_php5 and use php5.6-fpm instead for webspaces that need version 5. My understanding is that when mod_php5 is loaded it is the default for all webspaces when nothing else is specified for the webspace in the virtual host - this goes for any version that is set libapache2-mod-phpX package and was enabled with a2enmod phpX.
