500 error on keyhelp panel only

[curiousclumsy]

I have updated from Ubuntu 20 to 22 then 24.

All websites are loading just fine.

What I have tried and still didn't resolve the issue:
- using KeyHelp toolbox and choosing Rewrite KeyHelp configuration
- using KeyHelp toolbox and choosing all maintenance tasks
- checked all logs in /var/log/apache2/
- checked all /var/log/php* fpm logs

Is there a way to reinstall keyhelp without losing any data?

Thanks

Hello,

just to add that my php cli is 8.2, not sure that makes any difference

If you are already on Ubuntu 24, this is not the correct PHP Version for your operating system. On Ubuntu 24 there should be PHP 8.3.6
I assume that all steps in the upgrade guide have been followed completely (https://www.keyweb.de/en/keyhelp/develo ... -ubuntu-24).

Uninstall all PHP versions, than install the correct one again.

Code: Select all

apt-get install -y php php-curl php-gd imagemagick php-imagick php-mail-mime php-net-sieve php-pspell php-net-socket php-auth-sasl php-intl php-net-smtp php-zip php-bcmath php-gmp php-soap php-mbstring php-mysql php-readline php-redis

(cross reference viewtopic.php?t=14120)


Or send me the SSH login credentials to your server via PM and i'll have a look.

Hi Alexander, I have now removed all php versions.

Code: Select all

root@server1:/etc# which php8.1
root@server1:/etc# which php8.2
root@server1:/etc# which php8.3
/usr/bin/php8.3
root@server1:/etc# which php8.4

Then the server1.xxxxxx.com page was showing a 503 error. I then regenerated the config using toolbox and the same 500 error shows.

Is there any other log I can look at?

Many thanks

PS: thanks for the ssh offer, unfortunately our IT team has blocked the ssh port from being accessed from outside our network.

Hallo,

I do not see the package php-fpm in Alexander's list.

Install this package, too.

Then it should work.

[curiousclumsy]

hi Florian, I included that myself before running the command.

Still no luck, sorry about that.

Is there a log for apache perhaps?

I might have to format and start from scratch.

Thanks!
