My U16 server has been running perfectly for a long time, but now I need to update it to the latest OS version to make use of the latest versions of php, python, etc. I have a local copy of my U16 production server installed in a VirtualBox VM which I am upgrading LTS to LTS before I tackle my production server. I was able to do a `apt-get dist-upgrade` successfully, however, `do-release-upgrade` is not very perfect (unlike the tutorials here) and parts of my server are not working, specifically Apache2 with the mods I had installed. I had to comment out all my `FCGIWrapper` script handlers in my virtual hosts, and disable several Apache mods, so I'm in a situation where I cannot use PHP at all (I have several PHP versions installed; 5.6, 7.0-7.4) so my Apache2 install is essentially porked right now. My virtual hosts are working fine with html, but not PHP. I tried finding a `Ubuntu 18 Perfect Server tutorial` in the Tutorials section of HowToForge but it appears they've all been removed. I get it, U18 is also past it's end of life. I'm wondering if there's any ISPconfig based tutorials (that don't involve the auto-install script, though I could analyse the script to get what I need out of it) still out there that show how to setup U18, U20, and U22. On my server, I'm running ISPconfig 3.0.5.4p8 (which I've modified slightly for enhanced security and LetsEncrypt usage). Cheers, Nap.
It appears to me that the Search function on the Tutorials page isn't working. Is anyone else having this issue?
Tutorials are still available. Ubuntu 18.04: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...l-pureftpd-bind-postfix-doveot-and-ispconfig/ Ubuntu 20.04: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...l-pureftpd-bind-postfix-doveot-and-ispconfig/ No issues here.
Thanks @remkoh !! Seems my firewall settings on my PC is too tight. I tried another browser and allowed everything, and it's working for me now.
In addition to the guides you posted, I found two more that describe how to upgrade from 20 to 22, and from 22 to 24. https://www.howtoforge.com/update-the-ispconfig-perfect-server-from-ubuntu-20-04-to-ubuntu-22-04/ https://www.howtoforge.com/update-the-ispconfig-perfect-server-from-ubuntu-22-04-to-ubuntu-24-04/
Nice thread, upgrading step by step from U16 to U24 is definitely the right approach. Doing it first on a test VM was smart too. Apache and PHP module issues are common after multiple LTS jumps, so rechecking libapache2-mod-fcgid and PHP handler configs usually helps stabilize things.
