Ubuntu 16.04 installing fog error- stopping web service failed

[kirkk]

@Tom-Elliott I have done that for the install, it still gives the php5 error, i even purged php5 packages running it with the php7 command.

@kirkk DId you upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 from a prior version?

@Tom-Elliott No it is a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04

@kirkk There’s most likely leftover files which you need to manually remove.

I think on Ubuntu you’ll have to remove all php folders in /etc/apache2

[Tom Elliott]

PHP 5 does not exist for Ubuntu 16.04. So this is troubling me.

Can you run:

sudo rm -rf /etc/php* /etc/apache* /var/www
sudo apt-get purge libapache* php5*
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
sudo apt-get update
php_ver='7.0' php_verAdds='-7.0' ./installfog.sh -y

@Tom-Elliott I have run those commands and get the same error. @Quazz i couldnt find an apache2 folder in the etc/ directory

[Tom Elliott]

What’s output of:

sudo lsb_release -a

[Tom Elliott]

For all of these issues I think i figured it out.

Try this:

sudo -i
php_ver='7.0' php_verAdds='-7.0' ./installfog.sh -y

@Tom-Elliott It got much farther this time, but stopped with this error.

[Tom Elliott]

@kirkk can you upload the whole log file please?

I did a fresh install again and did sudo -i and installed if from that prompt the first time, and everything worked now. It is currently up and running, thanks for all the help.
