        Hopefully this commit will address that.

          Please try these steps:

          Edit the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file and remove the packages line.

          Edit the php_ver and php_verAdds lines to read as:

          php_ver="7.0"
          php_verAdds="-7.0"
          

          Remove the apache and php items from your installation:

          rm -rf /etc/{php,apache}*
          apt-get purge php5* libapache*php* apache*
          

          Rerun the fog installer.

          This should take a bit longer than you’re likely used to, but it should also make things MUCH easier for you.

            @Tom-Elliott OK, this is pretty much what I was expecting. So I’ve tried those steps and it looks good up until the point where installfog.sh fails at “Stopping web service”. Here is the foginstall.log which ends with:
            0_1479061190246_foginstall.log

            * Setting up fog user.........................................Already setup

            Here is the fog_error_1.3.0-RC-22.log which ends with:
            0_1479061317524_fog_error_1.3.0-RC-22.log

              ...done.
            mysql stop/waiting
            mysql start/running, process 25774
            /etc/init.d/apache2: 64: .: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars
            /etc/init.d/apache2: 76: .: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars
            ERROR: APACHE_PID_FILE needs to be defined in /etc/apache2/envvars
            

            /etc/apache2/envvars does not exist. Here is a listing of the /etc/apache2 directory:

            root@FogU1404T01:/etc/apache2# lsa
            total 24
            drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 Nov 13 09:53 .
            drwxr-xr-x 141 root root 12288 Nov 13 10:04 ..

            root@FogU1404T01:/etc/apache2# 
            

            I think this may be caused by old php5 processes still running as shown here:

            root@FogU1404T01:~# ps -ef | grep php
            root       1717      1  0 09:26 ?        00:00:00 php-fpm: master process (/etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf)

            www-data  25550  25547  0 10:04 ?        00:00:00 php-fpm: pool www
            www-data  25551  25547  0 10:04 ?        00:00:00 php-fpm: pool www
            root      26194   3422  0 10:28 pts/4    00:00:00 grep --color=auto php
            

            I could restore my snapshot and try again after making sure there are no php5 processes running. What do you think?

              After rebooting the server I now have the FOG processes and the new php7 processes running as shown here.

              root       3570   3526  0 11:01 pts/4    00:00:00 grep --color=auto php
              

              But I don’t have any web GUI, obviously since the installfog.sh script never completed. So I’m going to first try rerunning the installer. And if that doesn’t work, I’ll restore my snapshot and try the steps again - this time making sure I don’t have any old php5 processes running.

                @Tom-Elliott Rerunning the installer fails with the same results as before. Restoring the snapshot and trying the steps again after killing the three old php5 running processes also fails with the same results. Here are the logs from the last attempt with no php5 processes running.
                1_1479073227092_foginstall.log
                0_1479073227091_fog_error_1.3.0-RC-22.log

                As with the other attempts, the directory /etc/apache2 only contains the subdirectories conf-available and mods-available. /etc/apache2/envvars does not exist.

                      @utopia Try:

                      rm -rf /etc/apache*; apt-get purge apache2

                      Then rerun installer.

                        @Tom-Elliott I suppose because it’s stopping this is the issue.

                        Maybe try:

                        touch /etc/apache2/envvars

                          I assumed that I would touch the envvars file after the apache2 package was reinstalled, then run the installer again after that if necessary. But since the package installation fails, I can’t get that far. Do you want the two log files from this?

                            @utopia I suppose you could do the manual installation of apache.

                            Or it just failed out because of the warning (the /var/www/html issue).

                            If you need to test it, I suppose you could do:

                            apt-get install apache2 -f
                            service apache2 start
                            service apache2 stop

                              @Tom-Elliott “apt-get install apache2 -f” fails. However, aptitude was able to untangle the dependency trees. For your reference, the attached file shows a rough summary of the steps I took to sort it out.
                              0_1479102893333_Fog_troubleshooting_161113d.txt

                              Based upon the new php 7.0, I was able to successfully upgrade FOG from RC-18 to RC-22. This gave me running FOG processes and a functional GUI with the new apache2. Then, to test it out further, I upgraded again from RC-22 to RC-23. That successfully showed that I once again get automated DB backup files created during the FOG upgrade process which now do contain data (no longer zero byte size files). There are still some stray php5 processes which try to start and get killed during server bootup - which I will look into cleaning up. And I will be monitoring this server a bit more closely over the next few upgrades to make sure it remains stable.

                              I do have a final related follow-up question. As the end of the attached file shows, the database backup files have different sizes depending upon whether they are created automatically during the FOG upgrade or created manually via the command line, such as “mysqldump --allow-keywords -x -v fog > fogbackup.sql”. I assume that both types of DB backup are equally useful for restoring or transferring the DB to either the same or a different FOG server - assuming of course that the target server is running the proper FOG version to match the DB backup file. Would that be a correct assumption that either method of creating the DB backup files is equally useful for restore or transfer?

                              Lastly, I most certainly do THANK YOU for your insight in helping sort this out. Your assistance is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

                                @utopia There is some variants in what’s going on for SQL backup. While the version that “automatically” creates a new backup is slightly larger, this is mostly just comments.

                                I’ve seen some strange things in regards to Ubuntu in the past. The unfortunate part is that not all systems are the same. What you experienced does not mean everybody experiences. The only other thing I can think is ondrej changed how the repo is used relatively recently. Of note, php5-fpm is no longer proper, it’s supposed to be php5.6-fpm as described earlier in the posting. I’ve added this change for the working branch now so hopefully this will no longer be an issue.

                                I don’t know what php5 items are still lingering, but I’d imagine you could remove them with aptitude just as well?
