ran the upgrade and now there is no PHP

Submitted by plahpoy@gmail.com on Tue, 07/14/2009 - 20:13

I clicked the upgrade button in virtualmin admin on the home page. Now php is not referenced in apache so the browser tries to download the php file. There is also no libphp5.so on the server at all anymore.

Client is ALREADY nagging :|

thanks in advance,

Which packages got upgraded exactly? We have seen cases where a new Ubuntu apache version does not include mod_php for some reason..

You can check if it is installed with the command :

dpkg --list libapache2-mod-php5

Or re-install it with :

apt-get install dpkg --list libapache2-mod-php5

I had exactly the same. Debian 5 (lenny) / VirtualMin 3.703 GPL - almost new install of server and VirtualMin working just fine then installed "apache2 2.2.9-10+lenny4" and bang, PHP module missing. I guessed at the suggestion below which resolved the issue.

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

Would like to know why... is anything else affected?

Would like to know why.

We'd like to know why, too, but you'll have to take it up with the Debian folks to find out. We don't know, these aren't our packages that are broken. ;-)

I agree this isn't a VirtualMin problem... I've done a bit more digging (dpkg.log) and the Debian update "apache2 2.2.9-10+lenny4" removes "libapache2-mod-php5" along with "apache2-mpm-prefork" inorder to install "apache2-mpm-worker"

It's a shame I didn't see that when I did the update through VirtualMin, I'm sure VirtualMin showed me the output but, the -y switch is so quick!

Could/does VirtualMin keep the apt-get output in a log for this sort of issue? Would be easier to look at the result of each package/update than the whole of the dpkg.log file.

I have had the same issue and it keeps happening, I have to keep reinstalling libapache2-mod-php5 after doing any virtualmin updates.

Is there a way to stop it happening?

This did not happen after latest update so seems to have been corrected.

Thanks
