Upgrade version

[Tom Elliott]

None of this will work with ondrej.

Ondrej has moved into only supporting ‘LTS’ releases.

You will need to upgrade (or downgrade if you must) to one of the LTS releases.

Current supported PHP versions for Ondrej are:

16.10
16.04
14.04
12.04

@Jaymes-Driver
I tried with this command : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
And it works.

administrateur@FOG:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

 Co-installable PHP versions: PHP 5.6, PHP 7.0, PHP 7.1 and most requested extensions are included.

PLEASE DON'T USE PHP 5.4 OR PHP 5.5. The PHP 5.5 and later are no longer supported with security updates, therefore they are not included in this repository.

You can get more information about the packages at https://deb.sury.org

OK

But after when I try : sudo apt-get install -y php7.0
it does not work.

@mimi1255 you will need to issue the following command

sudo apt-get install -y php

drop the 7.0 off the end.

I see the php7.0 repo in the list on his launchpad page, I am not exactly sure why you aren’t able to download that specific repo.

The command I gave you should install php7.1

From what I can tell, all php5.6, 7.0 and 7.1 are housed in the php ppa.

@Jaymes-Driver
I removed 7.0 at then end but same problem :

As I stated earlier, no amount of effort will work as you’re running ubuntu 15, you will need to update your Ubuntu version.

[Jaymes Driver]

@mimi1255 It could be possible that the repos do not work for your
Ubuntu installation.

I do not see repositories listed for Vivid Vervet in the ppa list.

https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/+index?batch=75&direction=backwards&memo=225&start=150

I see Xenial, Trusty, Precise, and Yakkety.

Are you opposed to upgrading to 16.04? I use 16.04 in my environment and haven’t run into issues yet (other than issues with my web filter).

[mimi1255]

@Jaymes-Driver

Do you have a procedure to upgrade ubuntu in the last version ?
Thanks again.

[Tom Elliott]

do-release-upgrade

[Jaymes Driver]

@mimi1255
From command prompt
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo do-release-upgrade -d

If you don’t have much on the server, it might be faster to download 16.04 and install it to your machine.

I upgraded my 10.04 x32 all the way to 16.04 x64… I don’t recommend this, in the end due to all the errors, I just installed from scratch and imported my old images one at a time with a capture task from the new server.

[mimi1255]

@Jaymes-Driver
When I start the last commande “sudo do-release-upgrade” I get an error :
No update found

[Jaymes Driver]

@mimi1255 Make sure you run the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade command

You will also need to check/adjust so that the next LTS is downloaded, try this

Check the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file and change the line
Prompt=normal

to Prompt=LTS save and exit.

Run the do-release-upgrade command again.

This should upgrade you to 15.10 (depending on your choices in the release-upgrade file) which will allow you a direct upgrade path to 16.04.

[mimi1255]

@Jaymes-Driver
Prompt=LTS is already set up.

[Jaymes Driver]

@mimi1255 If the upgrade still fails (because 15.04 is technically EOL) try changing the LTS to Normal instead.

If there are errors, please provide them so that I can assist further, it may be possible that we need to doctor the repo list to include the old versions.

[mimi1255]

@Jaymes-Driver
Hi Jaymes,
I get this error with Prompt=normal:

An upgrade from 'vivid' to 'xenial' is not supported with this tool.

Thanks

@Jaymes-Driver
If I install a new fog server on ubuntu 16.04. Is it possible to move my old images to the new fog server ?

Thanks.

[george1421]

@mimi1255 Sure you can move/copy your images. all you need to do is mount the /images share from your old FOG server onto your new fog server and copy the files over. I would imagine the commands would look similar to this.

On new fog server

1. Mount the /images nfs share on old fog server over the /mnt directory on new fog server. This isn’t 100% best practices but it will get the job done for us.
   mount -t nfs <old_fog_IP>:/images /mnt
2. Copy the images over
   cp -r /mnt/* /images
3. Wait for the images to complete
4. Unmount the share
   umount /mnt

The next part you need to manually copy your image definitions from the old fog server webgui to new fog server web gui.

Just remember with FOG there are the physical files in /images that need to be moved and then you need to update the fog database (via the web gui) to define the images you moved in /images.

@george1421
Thank your for your reply. I installed a new ubuntu (16.04) and I installed fog 1.3.4. No problem when I installed fog.
But in my web browser http://ipAddress/fog I get a white webpage. Do you know why ? I restarted the server, I restarted apache2 and mysql services but same problem.
Thanks for your help again.

[george1421]

@mimi1255 well we need to tail the apache error.log to see what its not happy with.

[mimi1255]

@george1421
How can I extract logs ?

[george1421]

@mimi1255 I’m a rhel guy, so I don’t know the exact location of the error.log file. I think for ubuntu its in /etc (somewhere) you can use the following command to find it find /etc -name error.log
