I had few issues on my container and KVM on installing vestacp. Issues were like quite weird, such as-
- Post installation on KVM- it moved into emergency maintenance mode
- Post installation on LXC container- DNS resolution halted
After hours and hours of search, found few root causes-
- I have to withdraw quota with vestacp installation package
- No firewall on LXCcontainer
So let’s start.
Download installation script
curl -O http://vestacp.com/pub/vst-install.sh
Run it
bash vst-install.sh --nginx yes --phpfpm yes --apache no --named yes --remi yes --vsftpd yes --proftpd no --iptables no --fail2ban no --quota no --exim yes --dovecot yes --spamassassin yes --clamav yes --softaculous yes --mysql yes --postgresql no --hostname yourdomain.com --email yourmail@yourdomain.com --password yourpassword
You can also generate your installation command from vesta website:
Once installation is completed, you should be able to login to your vesta panel:
https://yourdomain.com:8083
Installation is over.
Upgrading your default php 5.x to 7.2
STEP 1 :
Install Remi Repository and EPEL Repository on your server :
RHEL 7
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
RHEL 6
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-6.rpm epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-$(uname -i)-server-optional-6
CentOS 7
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-7.rpm epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
CentOS 6
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-6.rpm epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm
STEP 2 :
After you have installed repository you need to follow some extra configurations :
Run this command one by one for RHEL or CentOS
yum install yum-utils yum-config-manager --enable remi-php72
STEP 3 :
Now just run this command :
yum update -y
You’ll see php packages are getting updated, After the update process you need to restart Apache server/php-fpm-(nginx) and check the php version from by below mentioned command:
php -v
[root@server ~]# php -v PHP 7.2.7 (cli) (built: Jun 20 2018 08:21:26) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.2.7, Copyright (c) 1999-2018, by Zend Technologies
Troubleshoot
If php upgrade process fails (no update/nothing happens) or you upgraded previously from 5.6 to 7.0/7.1 then you need to run this commands to disable php 5.6/7.0/7.1 :
yum-config-manager --disable remi-php56 yum-config-manager --disable remi-php70 yum-config-manager --disable remi-php71
After that follow the tutorial from STEP 2 again
