Hello All,
Below is the current info for my Libre install.
What do I need to do to my server before I can upgrade to the latest 21.7 version?
| Version | 1.68-68-g774d95c - Wed Oct 21 2020 21:07:12 GMT-0500 |
|---|---|
| Database Schema | 2020_10_21_124101_allow_nullable_ospf_columns (187) |
| Web Server | Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) PHP/7.2.6 |
| PHP | 7.2.6 |
| Python | 3.6.8 |
| MySQL | 5.5.56-MariaDB |
| Laravel | 7.28.3 |
| RRDtool | 1.4.8 |
Newer PHP and MariaDB.
I would upgrade the OS instead.
Also RRDtool is old
It sure is, and NET-SNMP also 
I migrated from CentOS 7 to Ubuntu 20.04 to cure most of this stuff, its not super hard to do the process.
Its hard to get some of those packages updated unless you compile from source (ick).
If you can’t migrate to a different server then you will need to update:
PHP to 7.4 (You can use REMI Install PHP 7.4 on CentOS, RHEL or Fedora - Remi's RPM repository - Blog)
You will want to upgrade maria/mysql to 5.7 or newer (Install MariaDB on CentOS 7: Step By Step | MariaDB)
Cannot get passed this -

How did you fix it?
