Last night I noticed a red bubble with 1 in it at the top (the job queue indicator)... Got up this morning and it's still there, but now it's at 3. The Job Queue indicated 2 items waiting to be sent to the second server. A dns insert and a dns update are 'stuck' So I went to server2 and I see this error started after 8pm last night Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/db_mysql.inc.php:529 Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 Stack trace: Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 #0 /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/db_mysql.inc.php(181): db->escape() Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 #1 /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/db_mysql.inc.php(300): db->_build_query_string() Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 #2 /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/db_mysql.inc.php(339): db->_query() Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 #3 /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/db_mysql.inc.php(395): db->query() Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 #4 /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/cronjob.inc.php(106): db->queryAllRecords() Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 #5 /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/cron.d/100-mailbox_stats.inc.php(43): cronjob->onPrepare() Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 #6 /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/cronjob.inc.php(87): cronjob_mailbox_stats->onPrepare() Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 #7 /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron.php(116): cronjob->run() Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 #8 {main} Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 thrown in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/classes/db_mysql.inc.php on line 529 Fri Mar 22 08:26:01 PM EDT 2024 finished server.php. I have 3 full servers, and I ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade on them all around this time. It did a bunch of PHP updates. I don't believe server1 or server3 has any issues. On server2 I wanted to "Set the OS default PHP back to the correct version" so I ran these commands: update-alternatives --config php update-alternatives --config php-cgi update-alternatives --config php-fpm.sock and selected the default option on each. Any suggestions?
run the command: php --version on the affected server and post the result. Also I need to know which Linux distribution and version you use.
Interesting... PHP 8.3.4 (cli) (built: Mar 20 2024 17:21:36) (NTS) Copyright (c) The PHP Group Zend Engine v4.3.4, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v8.3.4, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies I believe this should be using 8.2, correct? So the commands I ran earlier, instead of selecting the defaults, I need to specify the option for 8.2... correct? I have Debian 12 No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Release: 12 Codename: bookworm
Yes. There is also a chapter on that topic here: https://forum.howtoforge.com/threads/please-read-before-posting.58408/ The sury repo tends to change default PHP version on its own when a new PHP major version is available, that's why it is important to set a specific version when installing multiple PHP versions. And what's even worse with sury is that it installs a new PHP version but not the same modules as the other versions use and that's why in your case the php mbstring module is missing.
I don't know why I didn't see the 8.3 version and 8.2 versions last night... but running these commands: update-alternatives --config php update-alternatives --config php-cgi update-alternatives --config php-fpm.sock and selecting PHP 8.2 has resolved my issues. I really should have caught this myself (doh!). For anyone reading, I found this link very useful for installing multiple version of PHP on your server: https://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig-php-debian/#-set-the-os-default-php-back-to-the-correct-version And cheers to ISPCONFIG!! I have left "managed vps" servers with WHM/Cpanel and have set up my own servers (3) with ISPCONFIG and really enjoy working with it (and saving money!). I have been playing with ISPConfig for about 3 years, but never on a machine that was fully connected to the internet. Firing up a VPS to tinker is extremely affordable today and you can 'rent' one for a month if you want. In my case, that month went so well I now have 3 unmanaged VPS's and have a fourth to use for backups (by the way urbackup has been working great!). And thanks to till! You are such a great helper here. I really appreciate your feed back.
