using Nethserver as a privat mailserver i’m very happy with it for years now. Most things i was able to fix with the answers given in the forum - but now there is an issue where i just can not find the answer to:
In cockpit, the application/Webserver/settings module just does not give me information:
Thanks for testing - ok, so i need to double-check to use the correct php-version when setting up a new vhost. And i’m going to check the wiki next time before asking.
I’m going to give php 8 a try
Beyond the not working dashboard I wonder if it wouldn’t be safer to deinstall the old php-versions (that are not used) and only to keep the latest.
But beside the dashboard and the php version i need to replace the MariaDB - nextcloud 21 won’t work with the one used now by nethserver (for 10 i’ve already found https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=mariadb101) - thats the next step.
Again, thanks Mark - perhaps the webserver-dashboard gets fixed autmatically by one of the next updates, otherwise i will spend some (more) time with trying to figure it out.
Check out this post for more details about NethServer using the “old” mariadb.
No need to install/configure NC manually because Nethserver does it for you.
I’d uninstall the remi php versions that were installed with php-scl because they’re not needed anymore and php-scl is not going to be updated and just keep the rh-php* ones.
PHP: Will do so as well. Is there an “automatic” way to do this or have you used something like “yum -y remove php70*” ?
DB: I was thinking of deinstalling MariaDB with “yum remove mariadb-server mariadb mariadb-libs” - add a switch for not deleting the dependencies - add the mariaDB repo to yum - Install MariaDB10.5 - mysql update… Must do a server backup before that
If you already uninstalled php-scl you may try autoremove and check which packages are going to be removed to not lose an important one.
yum autoremove
Mariadb 5.5 and the rh-mariadb 10.* versions can exist next to each other, they use different ports.
Mariadb 5 is used by many Nethserver apps so I don’t recommend to uninstall it. Just use the rh-mariadb scl versions, ideally the ones provided in the wiki next to it.
PHP: "If you already uninstalled php-scl " how would i do that?
MariaDB: I assume you are correct - but it itches me to try it - if it works - OK. Otherwise i will install it in parallel to the old version. Backup/restore is your friend.
Markus, thanks for helping me and have a great evening!
