Updating from 5.04 to 5.05 gives error "No PHP versions found for mode mod_php at web-lib-funcs.pl line 1427"

Submitted by TomasRiker on Tue, 11/29/2016 - 08:29

This happened on a system running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS when updating from Virtualmin 5.04 to 5.05 using apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade:

Setting up webmin-virtual-server (5.05.gpl) ...
virtual-server/postinstall.pl failed : virtual-server::module_install failed : No PHP versions found for mode mod_php at web-lib-funcs.pl line 1427.

Seems like something broke there, since there is already another bug report about PHP issues when updating from 5.04 to 5.05.

Should I worry about this error message? Is there anything important happening in postinstall.pl that now didn't take place?

We'll likely need Jamie's input on this one here, but I had a couple of questions that may help us dig into that.

First, are any of your domains using mod_php?

And second, what is the output of this command:

dpkg -l 'php'

No, I use FastCGI everywhere. (But still, maybe some other code that would have been executed after the error was thrown would have been important?)

This is the output of dpkg -l "php":

dpkg -l "*php*"

Thanks for your output! It looks like Drupal filtered out my asterisk characters -- you typed exactly the command I was after. I just wanted to verify that mod_php was indeed there, and the same version as the standard FCGID/CGI PHP version.

Okay, Jamie will let us know what all that means then.

Thanks, andreychek. By the way, my previous comment doesn't appear on this page yet, I think it has to be accepted first. Just to make sure that all the relevant information is visible to everybody.

There is a bug in Virtualmin 5.05 that can cause this during re-installs. However, it is harmless and can be safely ignored.
