HELP PLEASE - Debian Lenny with ISPConfig upgrade to PHP 5.3 went wrong.

[nenad]

Hello to everyone,

I tried to upgrade PHP 5.2 to 5.3 on Debian Lenny - installed according perfect install with ISPConfig3. It worked fine for almost one year when I got the idea (because I need it because of one project) to upgrade PHP to 5.3

I thought it would be easy because of this
http://www.onigoetz.ch/2010/10/03/up...-debian-lenny/

or this

http://www.web2works.co.uk/blog2work...-debian-lenny/

But it didn't happen so.

Now it looks like I am totally without PHP.

piks:~# php -v
-bash: php: command not found

http://ftniim.org:8080/

gives internal server error.

I don't know what happened but I guess that "upgrade" broke some configuration files made by ISPConfig?

If that's of any help I have (at least) backup of /etc/mysql/my.cnf" , because during dist-upgrade it looks like database is upgraded too.

What should I do to make system work again?

When I try apt-get upgrade I got this:

piks:~# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  mysql-client mysql-server php5-dev
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all

P.S. I can't upgrade to Lenny to Squeeze because machine is too old. That's why I am using Lenny in the first place.

OK, it looks liek that repo was wrong - actually outdated:

This

deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org stable al

points no more to Lenny but to Squezze and that make whole mess.

So, I uninstalled removed that repository from sources list and then unisntalled all of the PHP

apt-get remove php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-gd php5-mysql 
apt-get remove php5-curl php5-tidy php5-dev php-pear php5-cli
apt-get remove php5-common php5-suhosin

and then installed it back acording to http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...ispconfig-3-p4

apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-cert libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imap phpmyadmin php5-cli php5-cgi libapache2-mod-fcgid apache2-suexec php-pear php-auth php5-mcrypt mcrypt php5-imagick imagemagick libapache2-mod-suphp libopenssl-ruby libapache2-mod-ruby

Now ISPConfing and websites are OK.

However I have strange error in console?

piks:/tmp/php5# php -v

piks:/tmp/php5#

Any ideas what it might be?

Moreover, according to comments people were just replacing 'stable' with either 'oldstable' or 'lenny' in

deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org stable al

Unfortunatelly I can't make it work. What should I do?

It looks like that lenny is moved to http://archives.dotdeb.org/dists/lenny/

deb http://archive.dotdeb.org lenny all

But if I try to add that to sources list, it can't find it?

I even tried this solution, but it didn't help either:

This error

piks:/tmp/php5# php -v

I resolved by commenting out loading of libraries in respective ini files such as:

piks:~# joe /etc/php5/conf.d/xmlrpc.ini
piks:~# joe /etc/php5/conf.d/tidy.ini
piks:~# joe /etc/php5/conf.d/intl.ini
piks:~# joe /etc/php5/conf.d/curl.ini

Is it a right way to deal with that error?

Is it a right way to deal with that error?

Yes, thats ok. But it was not a error anyway,just a wrning which did not harm.

Why did you not upgrade Lenny to squeeze? Lenny is out of date and you wont get any updates for lenny anymore, so your server becomes insecure without security üatches. debian squeeze has php 5.3, so when you update to squeeze, you will get php 5.3 as well.

It's an old P3 server which servers just fine for student projects
For some strange reasons I couldn't install squeeze, I think that install would just freeze or so... That's why I gave up and installed Lenny. We are a small group of students and we use it as a proof of concept for moodle and for gensim/simserver and if the faculty staff approves it, then later they will buy new server... etc.

Right now I would like to install PHP 5.3, but I am a little bit stuck with it.

Can you please help me with this:

How can I add http://archive.dotdeb.org lenny all to repository ?

Try http://archives-php53.dotdeb.org/ instead.

Thak you, but if I try to add this:

deb http://archives-php53.dotdeb.org/ lenny php5/5.3.9

I get this

Err http://archives-php53.dotdeb.org lenny/php5/5.3.9 Packages
  404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://archives-php53.dotdeb.org/dists/lenny/php5/5.3.9/binary-i386/Packages  404 Not Found

[nenad]

I resolved it.

1. I made new directory

mkdir /root/downloads/php5.3

2. I downloaded all of the deb packages

wget -r -l 1 http://archives-php53.dotdeb.org/dists/lenny/php5/5.3.9/binary-i386/

3. Created Packages.gz

sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -c9 > Packages.gz

4. added this to sources.list

deb file:///root/downloads/php5.3 ./

5.

 sudo apt-get update

6.

apt-get upgrade

7.

apt-get dist-upgrade

And that's it

8.
