Maybe try the commands Tom suggested again? I did them out of order on accident since I was having the same problem and it worked for me.

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
sudo rm -rf /etc/php5
sudo rm -rf /etc/apt-get/sources.d/*ondrej*
sudo apt-get purge php5*
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

Then I reran the installer and all was well with the world. Maybe trying it again is worth a shot

@ManofValor,

More or less, the steps above are what the fix was. There was some minor variance but this was what got it to operate.

If I recall, your particular issue was the server was unable to add another repository.

@Tom-Elliott @ManofValor
I’ve had this problem on a few of the trunks in the last week. So I’ve just put those commands into a bandaid fix type script and it works everytime it happens, like this morning for example. Said script is just the same commands with some echo’s and -y for automation, looks like this…

#!/bin/bash
echo "running autoremove to clean up apt..."
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge -y
echo "removing php files..."
sudo rm -rf /etc/php5
echo "removing ondrej sources from apt..."
sudo rm -rf /etc/apt-get/sources.d/*ondrej*
echo "uninstalling php5..."
sudo apt-get purge php5* -y
echo "cleaning up apt..."
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge -y
exit

Do we have any idea what is causing this or should I just add those commands to my update script reinstall php over and over and just not worry about it? Granted it doesn’t happen with every trunk, maybe 3 of them in the last week.

I wonder if it’s specific to a linux distro? I am running Ubuntu Server 14.04
@templink What version of Ubuntu are you running?
@ManofValor Assuming you’re having this problem too, what linux distro are you running?

@Arrowhead-IT Why not just add them to the installer for Ubuntu ?

[JJ Fullmer]

@Wayne-Workman That would work, but I feel like it’s kind of a bandaid to the issue rather than a real fix. We didn’t have to reinstall php for every fog update before, why do we suddenly need to do it now? Granted I do like the idea of contributing something to the official fog code, even if it does get taken out later…

It’s fine if it gets taken out later. But having something that works is better than nothing at all. The @Developers can fix it the proper way when they have time.

@Tom-Elliott Yeah i got through that. it was a firewall issue. i did the steps above but now getting:

• Installing package: php5…Failed!

so I ran:

sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6

and got:
