Hi, I’m not updating since last April because of customs Active Directory authentication method but now I’m ready to get back to daily updates.
I tried update though daily.sh, but it start to throw issues regarding an old PHP version. I’ve tired to update PHP to 7.4 but thinks start going down the rabbit hole. Glade I had a snapshot, I’ve been able to get back to previous state.
Now I’m looking for some sort of procedure to get up to speed with the latest version with the default daily.sh
Hi @fritoss007
LibreNMS requires you to upgrade PHP. So you should first upgrade to PHP v7.4, and get back to a working LibreNMS install, and then run daily.sh.
You should probably get in touch with your Linux System administrator if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.
Bye
Thanks for your reply…sadly, I’m the Linux System administrator…we only have a small crew of 8 tech and only 2 Linux boxes…Fog Project and LibreNMS. I’ll clone that VM so I can work on a offline system trying to figure out the best procedure to update PHP…last attempt I daily.sh before…so this might be the solution! thanks again and I’ll keep you updated
you can do all in any order, really. But starting with PHP (and on an offline machine) will let you figure the exact right steps to do it.
Basically :
Do whatever is expected to be done on your distribution to upgrade PHP to at least php 7.4, including all the currently 7.2 installed packets (so you need to list the currently installed 7.2 and install the matching 7.4
Adapt the php.ini config files for 7.4 as stated in the documentation of LibreNMS
ensure that Apache/nginex is using the right PHP version (again from LibreNMS documentation)
