Could not update to 1.3.0 - Installer exit (255)

Wheezy 7.11 with php 5.6
noticed errata doesn't include editing any more if you're on higher php levels

did deactivate plugins - wondering if I missed something else..

Always grab a backup (snapshot image) before initial upgrade test (and now try to read through errata a little better!!!)

--- Guessing same issue as previous version need to delete out php-apc line from debian package list.

error at:
processing distribution packages

error was: autoinstaller::adapter:debianadapter::installpackages: could not install packages: Reading Package lists...

re-ran installer - same error..

--------------------
Guessing this is fix from 1.2.x errata (testing now):

PHP version in use

If you're using, either Debian Wheezy or Ubuntu Precise with a PHP version that is not provided by official repositories, you must be aware that the php-apc package has been added in the list of package to install. Because that package is no longer provided for PHP versions > 5.4, you must remove the package from the packages file before upgrading, else, packages installation will fail.
You can find the packages file inside the i-MSCP archive, under the docs/\<distro\> directory.

--------------------

Delete Line # 52 like so: of ..../docs/<distro>/packages-<version>.xml

Testing Upgrade again now.......
....................................... getting further..........
Step 5 of 6 still processing correctly (saving persistent data).....

have to remember / locate sql root password during upgrade - been awhile!

--- so that was a different problem --- didn't remember root password...

restoring back to backup until I locate/change original root mysql password - one password that wasn't documented - not sure if it was generated either like some of the others have been.

------- still looks good just need more before proceeding it looks like!
-------------------------
---- too lazy to find it - tried decode - no bueno -
used this method to reset - didn't update imscp.conf with current - hoping upgrade resolves but we'll see!!

https://www.howtoforge.com/res…otten-mysql-root-password

---- seemed to get further but installer just closed out after imscp_user screen nothing else came up just dumped back out to CLI..

Running again - same issue - dumps out after imscp master user section - probably need to update sql db and that is causing something... doing that now... and trying again

review of
/var/log/imscp/imscp-setup.log gets errors shown in source code - not sure how I did that... whoops...

currently rolled back to backup and changing mysql password
re-running 1.2.17 setup -dr and verifying things work before proceeding to attempt 1.3 again with correct root mysql password in hand.

currently 1.2.17 install via -dr update is running without issue and able to connect to known mysql - using reset method I used above.

--- link you showed looked like ssl version of admin side - I'm not using ssl for admin mgmt as of yet just port 8080 http until I can figure out what I want there!

Showing Successfully installed / updated.
testing:
... control panel is fine --- all sites now have internal error 500... no bueno...
rolling back again to get sites back online...

I'll just hold off for a bit... sure its something on my end - obviously "I" have plenty of issues to work out!!!!

how would I reset my mysql password...

the method I tried before didn't work - should just be able to update it then re-hash and update the ismcp.conf correct? or is it in more places?

where exactly do I run from?

/imscp-setup -dr sql

1.2.17 source?
Or somewhere else just want to.be sure!

Setup runs great and finishes - but still getting 500 errors on all sites after updating mysql root password...

control panel loads fine.. checking access error logs to see what is happening on each site...

errors in log are apache errors..

---
so it looks like I'm using fastcgi vs fpm correct?

restarted apache
sudo service apache2 restart
no change still same errors..

rebooting server just for kicks.

That seems to have resolved the issue - rebooting the server - (kicked all services to restart probably php services) and now running with correct sql root password (or at least documented!)

---- Will try upgrade again later / soon (thx for help - getting further!)

Got all the way through it again now its doing the same thing again crashing the installer right after imscp_user password autogeneration.

trying as suggested above:
Installer closed after creating IMSCP SQL Users | Installation beendet nach Erstellen des IMSCP SQL Users
---
both of mine were already at no for ssl on panel -
PANEL_SSL_ENABLED = no
SERVICES_SSL_ENABLED = no
in both files.

rerunning -d to see if same issue happens

yes it does.... same issue
