I have been running Ubuntu for over a decade. Always did Internet upgrades. But the last one, to 12.04 broke my PHP and the only solution I have found is to do a clean install. I have /home on a separate drive so I expect that this is not a big deal. But I think a few of you might be able to offer a tips. The system will be a desktop and also a LAMP server. I plan to install the desktop and then add the AMP. I will back up the databases using mysqldump, save the Apache .conf files as well as fstab. Anything else I should consider? Thanks -- Stephen

You could use a configuration management system to declare what the final state of the machine should be once you've finished. I've been learning SaltStack <http://docs.saltstack.com> over the last couple of days and I'm quite impressed. I'm using a masterless minion setup due to the fact that the machines that I'm deploying are intended to run behind a firewall with no access to the Internet. Here is a resource I found useful: <http://eon01.com/blog/using-saltstack-to-automate-vagrant-provisioning/>. You don't have to use Vagrant but you might want to once you see how easy it is to go from deploying your VM locally on VirtualBox to deploying to an Amazon EC2 instance, for example. -- Regards, Clifford Ilkay +1 647-778-8696

That might be a simple way to try and fix things but I wouldn't think it should be the only way. You don't say in which way it is broken. You could downgrade PHP, remove all packages that have anything to do with PHP and reinstall from your distros PHP package, or you could remove all existing PHP packages and install a version you built from source. Another thing is whether the problem is simply a configuration error in Apache. You can run some tests on PHP using 'php -a' at a command line to run it interactively and see if it appears to be functional or not. -- Cheers!

I have the same result on my Debian box, when run without parameters. but this one ends with 'exit 0': sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/libapache2-mod-php5.postinst configure (note I run in it debug mode with "sh -x") If it still have non zero exit from that script and you believe that your system is fine, you can put exit 0 in the beginning of that file (after shebang) and run dpkg --configure -a to fix unconfigured packages Tim

Stephen, This is how I upgrade my Fedora machines. Everything on /home stays intact because I don't reformat it. I can switch to Ubuntu if I want. I don't have application data on my root partition. If I did, I would back it up regularly, and before doing a re-install. My /etc directory is backed up weekly, automatically. I document my install procedure. I post this on my website to encourage other Linux users, but my original purpose was to be able to it again, later. -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca howard.gibson@teledyneoptech.com jhowardgibson@gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson

I'm with the others -- the problem should be fixable. I've dealt with some messy upgrade problems at times, but I've *never* had to do a clean install. A problem with one package should be fixable, even if the fix is tricky...

For what it's worth on backups... - I'm a fan of automysqlbackup (in the Ubuntu and Debian repositories) for MySQL backups, which is a wrapper script for mysqldump that compresses, rotates, saves daily/weekly/monthly versions, notifies on error, etc. - For filesystem backups, rsnapshot is pretty great for incremental, versioned backups Other packages I often install on a clean Ubuntu/Debian server: - logwatch: log analyser - fail2ban: ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors - munin: gathers graphs for performance monitoring
