@Tom-Elliott I made a mistake – Our current FOG version is actually 1.5.9 but the php version is still 7.2.24. Would that change the possibilities of a PHP upgrade ?

Thank you for the response Tom. Much appreciated. So I would think that preparing a new server with same specifications as the current server but with an upgraded php and FOG would be the better option.

We are running FOG 1.5.4 on Redhat8 server with a separate mysqldb server. Currently we have php v 7.2.24 installed. The idea is to upgrade php to v 8.x . The question is can the upgrade be done without breaking the current fog installation ( I mean we can stop the server - upgrade php - start the server) I did not see a procedure in the wiki how to do this

Hi I am trying to do an upgrade from fog 1.5.4 running mysql community server (NOT mariadb) on REDHAT 8. The upgrade script keeps failing on mariadb is not installed

The fog_error_1.5.9.log says ----

Even if I remove .fogsettings in /opt/fog/ it still fails because mariadb cannot be installed

@george1421 If I may ask you using the git method can I replace the mariadb references to mysql and mysql-server in another file other than .fogsettings . It seems changing it in .fogsettings has no effect it still tries to install mariadb

We have a FOG server( 1.5.4) that was built on Redhat7 with mysql db. This server has had an inline OS upgrade to Redhat8. Now we are trying to upgrade to FOG 1.5.9. I tried the installfog.sh script to do this. This script seem to want to install mariadb and fails the install. I would expect for an upgrade it should except what is installed and running allready? I replaced mariadb instances in the .fogsettings file with mysql but it still fails the same
