Hello, i'm see a syntax error when launching db backups after doing a update to ISPConfig 3.2.8p1: Code: root@db2:~# php /usr/local/ispconfig/server/backup-now.php --id=2203 --type=mysql Making backup of website id=2203, type=mysql, please wait... PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(' in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/backup.inc.php on line 1083 root@db2:~# php -v PHP 5.6.40-0+deb8u12 (cli) (built: Jun 28 2020 09:37:30) Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies with XCache v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 2005-2014, by mOo with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies with XCache Optimizer v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 2005-2014, by mOo with XCache Cacher v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 2005-2014, by mOo with XCache Coverager v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 2005-2014, by mOo root@db2:~# cat /etc/debian_version 8.11 Is it possible PHP version doesn't support the used syntax of the new backup.inc.php file ? Thanks a lot guys
Each version has release notes which show the supported OS versions, e.g.: https://www.ispconfig.org/blog/ispconfig-3-2-8p1-released/ But nonetheless, not supporting PHP 5.6 was not intended as it is needed for centOS 7 as well and we will see how we can fix that
Btw. Do you have additional PHP versions PHP 7.0 - 7.4 installed? if yes, it might work to temporarily change the cli and CGI PHP version to one of those in debian. Please note that we always recommend keeping the default version, but in this special situation, it might be a viable workaround if you can't update Debian to at least 9.
Ok, usually i use additionals PHP versions with FPM, from source or from dpkg. Thanks Till, i'm going to try that.
And be sure to get updating that server on your list, even long term support for Debian 8 ended 2 years ago, there are many known (and actively exploited) vulnerabilities in your system.
