hi @cornutaurus, for the [openemr ubuntu packages](https://sourceforge.net/projects/openemr/files/OpenEMR%20Ubuntu_debian%20Package/5.0.1/) which have been discontinued, you basically have to follow the installation and upgrade guides for linux. Would probably be safest and most straightforward to setup a new server. ---

First you might want to turn off PHP notice reporting in php.ini directive error\_reporting. Add `& ~E_NOTICE` (You don’t have to it just makes for a smaller and cleaner log) You prob need to go to main menu Administrator-\>Clinic-Calendar and clear smarty cache. ---
