Apt transaction returned result exit-failed

Management and Administration
#1

Hello,

I get the following error when attempting to install:
“apt transaction returned result exit-failed”

Ubuntu 16.04
PHP v7.2.2
MySQL v5.7.21
Apache v2.4.18

Problem appears to be related to database permissions, but not sure. Could someone point me in a direction to begin to troubleshoot?

Thank you !!

hi @bfinn1 openemr v5.0.0 only works with php up to 7.0, try following this article which is for going back to 5.6

This is odd since Ubuntu 16.04 should be just using PHP 7.0 by default, which is ok with OpenEMR 5.0.0 (ie. need to go out of way to install PHP 7.1+ on Ubuntu 16.04).

Hi Brady, Thanks, I had upgraded to 7.2 for some work I was doing previously. I have since installed 5.6 and have got past this error, and am now getting a different error here

Thank you very much Brady, I got it working, my apache document root folder got deleted somehow.
