Thanks for the great tutorial, Is there a way to be able to switch between the PHP version from GUI?
There is a selector for the PHP version in the website settings which lists all additional PHP versions that you installed (and configured in ISPConfig).
I have tried multiple times following the tutorial to first update my server. The issue I'm having is that Apache is not starting after the server is updated from 20.04 to 22.04. I can't seem to figure out why the service isn't starting, I'm unable to configure the new PHP paths as instructed in Step 5 because I can't access ISPConfig due to Apache failing to start. Can anyone provide some help as to why Apache failed to start?
As mentioned in the update guide: If you have any problems, open a thread on the forum.
After following this tutorial Roundcube was not accessible anymore and all my WordPress Websites showed Error 503.
During the Distro Upgrade Roundcube and PhpMyAdmin were removed. I could fix Roundcube by simply re-installing it. However, PhpMyAdmin gave an error when trying to install it. I couldn't solve Error 503 on my WP installs. I thought this should be addressed in the tutorial. I had a backup image to roll back to.
Thank you! I have a question: Where does ISPconfig save website backup files? using SHH as my server Apache is not running and I need to download the backups.
Many thanks!
By default, it's in the/var/backup folder.
I tried to follow this tutorial again as Ubuntu 20.04. has reached end of life. Unfortunately, things are still not working after following all the instructions. I ended up fixing problem after problem after this upgrade (ispconfig not accessible, roundcube not installed, roundcube not receiving message, all websites down,...). Gave up after 3 nights. I am sure there is a way to run this update. For me it's not this tutorial though. I am considering a reinstallation from scratch. At least I am sure this way it will eventually work.
The tutorial worked for me; used it several times in the past. Just a guess: Maybe you accidentally updated to Ubuntu 24.04 and not 22.04? Ubuntu 24.04 is not supported yet as of today and upgrading to it will break your system until it is supported by ISPConfig.
