how to upgrade php to current version in ispconfig3?

Hi,
I use ispconfig 3.0.5.4p8 on ubuntu14.04lts and php version is 5.5.9.
How can i update php without being any problem ?

 

Both Ubuntu and ISPConfig are very old. Is that ISPConfig still supported? Ubuntu support ends in April.

Without any problem is very strict requirement.
My advice, which includes no guarantees, is take disk image backup of your host, upgrade Ubuntu to 16.04 and then to 18.04, upgrade ISPConfig. Then you have newer PHP and if needed can install additional PHP versions.

Hi
as you said, i copied the image of server and I upgraded on the cloned server to ispconfig3.1.13 and ubuntu 16.04 so far. I will promoted it to ubuntu18.04 but
new ubuntu has php7.0, as far as i see, some sites works and some doesn't work
for example an error in a web site in this upgraded server as following;
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?>\r', expecting function (T_FUNCTION)

So can i work multiple php version both 5.6 and 7.x on this ispconfig server ?
could you give me a doc ?

 

I gave link to the doc in message #2. Do you read the answers you get?

 

I followed the link (https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...fig-3-from-debian-packages-on-debian-8-and-9/) you gave. The server has both php5.6 and 7.0 on ubuntu16.04 anymore. Also i configured additional php versions in ispconfig.
But i only see default php for phpversion in ispconfig as attached image. So i can not switch php version each virtual sites.
How can i fix it ?

 

Go through the Tutorial again. There is some setting you have not done correctly. Then you get the extra PHP versions to that drop-down menu.

 

Unfortunately, i could not manage to bring installed phpversions in ispconfig php version section for a virtual site. It only comes default.
Also after upgrading, phpmyadmin comes with some warnings as attached.
Perhaps after upgrading ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, i need to reinstall/reconfigure ispconfig ?

 

When you upgrade the underlying operating system, you must go through the Perfect Server Guide for the new OS and check settings and installed programs correspond to the Guide. So in your case for Ubuntu 16.04.
My advise was to upgrade ISPConfig last. That way it can do reconfigure services when all the services are installed and configured. You can force the reconfigure services by downloading the ISPConfig 3.1 installation package, and running the install/update.php script from there, and remembering to choose reconfigure services.

 

Actually I followed a link "https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-16-04-lts " and i managed to upgrade to the ubuntu16.04. So default php version has become 7.0as default. But i saw some php values regarding the php in the exist ispconfig still stayed php5.x. So I need to reinstall ispconfig without spoiling databases and users relations. as far as i see, I could not find how i can upgrade the both OS and ispconfig . There is only install docs for ispconfig from beginning. i need full docs for upgrading. otherwise I get stuck in middle of the deploying. phpmyadmin start to come with warnings. fortunately I only did a test on the test environment.
As you know, it is more clear and pure first installation an ispconfig and os . But it is getting hard to upgrading an exist structure.
So, I need a clean upgrading instructions for ispconfig. is there one in its official site?
Regards

 

There are ISPConfig updating instructions, and they are on the main site.
It is a bit complicated when the operating system is upgraded and then ISPConfig. This is done upgrading the OS in the usual way following the upgrade instructions in Release Notes. Then the operating system must be set up following the ISPConfig Perfect Server Guide for this upgraded operating system. At this point upgrading ISPConfig and letting it reconfigure services (which it does by default, so do not turn it off) is the final step in upgrade.
If this upgrading in place does not work for you, there is an alternative. Install a new ISPConfig system using the desired new OS, then use Migration Tool to migrate users, databases, websites and e-mails from the old system to the new.

 

could you advise a migration tool about that ? regards

 

It is in the main site documentation.

 

I install fresh centos7.6 by using "https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...l-php-pureftpd-postfix-dovecot-and-ispconfig/" and then i shall try to restore the exist ispconfig into new server.
By the way, on the other hand i will follow installing additional
PHP-FPM & FastCGI for ISPConfig 3.1 on Ubuntu 16.04
https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-php-5-6-on-ubuntu-16-04/
I got an error first phase as following

That's began to install and.. i got an error and the installation failed as below

i installed ispconfig by the perfect server on the fresh centos7.6 successfully. php version came 5.4.16 along with centos7.6.
I can reach ispconfig panel. Then i wanted to try restoring old ispconfig version.
the old and new server's ip addess are different. Besides their ssl certs are different too.
So i copied ispconfig_db_backup.sql from the old server to the new server. and then i ran mysql to restore from old ispconfig.
[root@webcp mysql]# mysql --force -uroot -p dbispconfig < ispconfig_db_backup.sql
Enter password:

How can i fix it ?

 

I did not empty current database on fresh installed ispconfig before i restored the old one. If i delete all tables in the new databate before restoring the old one, in this time i get an error when i try to restore from old database that there was not bla bla table something like that.
I emptied this time from dbispconfig on the newserver. And then I restored from the old dbispconfig.
It worked. new server comes along with php5.4 as default. I shall install update it and add additional php versions. Thank a lot.

 

Thanks a lot.
During the migrate, how can i restore users regarding virtual clients in /etc ?
Now I shall install uptodate php7.x and php56 on centos7.6. there is a link called "https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-u...p-fpm-and-fastcgi-with-ispconfig-3-centos-6.3" about that . is there any more current procedure doc?
