ispCP 1.0.0 update to 1.0.3-1 database update failed

[zeosunang]

Hello,

while updating ispCP from version 1.0.0 stable to 1.0.3-1 i encountered several problems. However i was able to solve most of them.
But now update wont continue due to database errors:

Update ispCP database shema: [failed]

printing /tmp/ispcp-update-database.log results in
sh: /usr/bin/php5: file or directory does not exist.

i recently upgraded Debain etch to lenny, but the problem existed before.
while executing "aptitude full-upgrade" my system encounter the following error:

Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

but i dont know if this has something to do with my ispcp problem.

thanks for help! and sorry for my bad english

It seems that you're missing the console php version. Try with:

Code:

apt-get install php5-cli

wow thanks for your fast help!

that solved my problem!
update run trough succesfully.

but now ive got a new error on the administration page:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/www/ispcp/gui/phptmp/sess_nRCdp7gWyIXkk,h3vk5YiFT18Ud, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /var/www/ispcp/gui/include/ispcp-lib.php on line 43

seems to be a permission problem, but i dont know how to solve it...

If you're using mod_php:

Code:

chown -R vu2000:www-data /var/www/ispcp/gui/phptmp
chmod -R 660 /var/www/ispcp/gui/phptmp
chmod 770 /var/www/ispcp/gui/phptmp

If you're using fastcgi/fcgid:

Code:

/var/www/ispcp/engine/setup/set-gui-permissions.sh

if im honest, i dont know which i'm using...

if i type the "mod_php" commands, the recent problem is solved, but i get a new error message:

Warning: require_once(/var/www/ispcp/gui/include/ispcp-db-keys.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/ispcp/gui/include/ispcp-lib.php on line 67

another permission denied error :O

executing the permissions.sh changes nothing. it reproduces the old error.

at least apache is now responding with an 503 on subdomains.

This is my most annoying webserver update so far :O

Basically, using mod_php is not officially supported by ispcp, and hence you get some permission errors when doing it. Now, they can all be easily fixed if you consider that, under mod_php, scripts are run as the "www-data" user instead of "vuXXX".

You can either fix all these permission errors manually or install (and properly setup, look for other threads about it) fastcgi/fcgid.

while "playing around" with fastcgi and fcgid, apache told me, suexec doesnt work, which seemed to be very important for it to work.

i reinstalled it, and now everything works fine. suEXEC caused the permission denied errors.

thanks for being so patient
