PHP trouble installing 5.0.2

I attempted to upgrade from 5.0.1(7) to 5.0.2.

Got the error from webpage: “PHP version needs to be at least 7.1.2.”

Pulled up the Terminal in Ubuntu 16.04 and it shows I am running version 7.3.8.

So I am stuck. Please help.

Is it possible that PHP 7.3.8 in installed but Apache is still using the old version.? If so, how do I make Apache use the newest version?

sure, did you restart apache?

I did.

It appears I have PHP version 7.3.8 but apache is running a lower version.

I am trying figure out how to upgrade apache php.

Any help is appreciated.

Jeff

When I check in terminal I get:

nursejeff@linuxopenemr:~$ php -v
PHP 7.3.8-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Aug 7 2019 09:51:47) ( NTS )
Copyright © 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.3.8, Copyright © 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.3.8-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1, Copyright © 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies

Which to me means I have PHP version 7.3.8 installed on the server.

When I type in ipaddress/sql_upgrade.php I get:

PHP version needs to be at least 7.1.2.

I have stopped and restarted apache.

I am assuming that PHP version 7.3.8 is installed on my server but Apache is still using an older version. If this is so, I need to know how to update Apache to use the newest version.

I’m still trying, haven’t found a clear answer yet.

Help please.

Jeff

what do you see with
ls -lrt /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

These two lines appears to show Apache is loading php7.0 and conf. php 7.0.

How do I get it to load 7.3.8 and conf. 7.3.8. ?

Jeff

from
ls -lrt /etc/apache2/mods-available/
find the php7.3 entry
and then

sudo a2enmod php7.3....

Did exactly as you said.

Tried the sql_upgrade and got the same error: PHP version needs to be at least 7.1.2.

Ran this again and got this below:

The last two lines show that is appeared to load 7.3. I stop and restarted apache and closed and reopened firefox.

Same error.

Thank you Stephen for helping, much appreciated. What do I try next.

Jeff

Hi nursejeff & Stephen,

As far I can see the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Upgrade from 5.0.1(7) to 5.0.2 is still under construction. See below;

Ubuntu/Debian/Mint OpenEMR package
Upgrade to 5.0.2
OpenEMR 5.0.2 Ubuntu package is UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Please clarify that this is correct or not.

Thank You,

Henry

Holy Crap,

I don’t know Henry. All I know is that I am having billing issues with me current 5.0.1(7) system and I was hoping that I could fix those issues with the upgrade.

I got the email: OpenEMR 5.0.2 has just been released! so I attempted to upgrade. I have done this in the past and had no issues until this one.

I guess I will be spending tomorrow reverting back to 5.0.1(7) and hoping someone can help me with my billing issue.

Thanks

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Ray Magauran posted that he was having trouble with the posting of items just a few days ago in the forum. Look it up and see if its the same problem your having. I hope you worked with a backup copy or have a copy of your production machine.

Henry

hi @nursejeff ,
See step 6 and 7 here:

Thanks Brady,

This appears to be a detailed explanation to get apache running the correct php version needed for 5.0.2.

I am out of time this weekend to do this. I successfully reverted back to 5.0.1(7) and will try again, maybe next weekend.

Thanks again.

Jeff

Would it be okay for me to go ahead and update to the PHP 7.3 version while still running the OpenEMR 5.0.1(7)?

I’ll work on getting that done and be sure it is successful before I try the upgrade on Openemr.

I’d wait since the 7.3 update is straightforward and should only take a few minutes and might interfere with 5.0.1.

Hello Mr.Stephen

Actually, the same kind of issue like PHP version needs to be at least 7.1.2 is displaying when install. I’m using ubuntu 16.04, apache2, php7.1, chrome/mozilla browser here.

I’ve checked the `ls -lrt /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ and displayed the same list like @nursejeff .

Is this still under develop like @hamd mentioned for ubuntu 16.04 lts os.

Could you help me to make work openemr-5.0.2 v.

Regards
Marimuthu A

I have yet to upgrade to 5.0.2.

I need to give a warning though about PHP upgrade. I did upgrade to PHP 7.3.8 and OpenEMR 5.0.1(7) is working, but my lab bridge is not.

It turns out the lab bridge built by Williams Technologies is not supported by PHP above 7.2.

So when you upgrade PHP, I wouldn’t upgrade to the lastest version which was 7.3.8. I now have to lower my PHP version down to 7.2 in order for my lab bridge to work.

Hope this helps,

Jeff Guillory

hi @marimuthu, have you followed the guide that Brady shared, https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-install-php-7-3-on-ubuntu-16-04/#Step-6-Change-the-PHP-version
