Lately I have seen this message when updating ISPconfig servers. Code: PHP reports deprecated function get_magic_quotes_runtime() in ispconfig scripts If you are still using CentOS 7 servers you are out of luck. My recommendation... change to another distro. RedHat fun will just get worse in the coming years. If you have installed different php 7.x versions on your server try to change the default PHP version before running ispconfig_update.sh. My recommendation currently is 7.2. It will give you least problems (2020-12). Code: update-alternatives --config php update-alternatives --config php-cgi ispconfig_update.sh
