Upgrade eGw 14.2 to 17.1 on a 14.04. ubuntu

Hi all,

i have a Ubuntu 14.04 server running with a eGroupware Version 14.2.20150210 running. After years without any upgrading … i tried to upgrade to the latest Version.

i started with replacing the old repo:
# deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare:/trunk/xUbuntu_14.04/ /
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/xUbuntu_14.04/ ./
after that i Upgraded the system. (now i have a Ubuntu 14.04.5, but still an old eGw version)

apt upgrade say:
The following packages have been kept back:
egroupware-epl-jdots egroupware-epl-phpbrain egroupware-epl-resources
egroupware-epl-timesheet egroupware-epl-tracker egroupware-epl-vendor
egroupware-epl-wiki

a deeper look in aptitude say
- egroupware-epl depends on egroupware-epl-functions (=17.1…) [UNAVAILABLE]
- egroupware-epl-core depends on php5 (>=5.6.0) | libpache2-mod-php (>= 7.0) [UNAVAILABLE] | php-fpm (>= 7.0) [UNAVAILABLE]
- egroupware-epl depends on egroupware-epl-emailadmin (>=14.2…)
- egroupware-epl-mail depends on egroupware-epl-emailadmin (>= 14.2…)
- egroupware-epl-core conflicts with egroupware-epl-pixelegg

so how do i satisfy the dependencys to the php 5.6 (5.5 is max on ubuntu 14.04) and to the unavailable egroupware-epl-functions?

used versions on the system:
mysql-server-5.5 (5.5.59-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
php5 (5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.24)
apache2 (2.4.7-1ubuntu4.18)

Hi Matze,

First of all:

Update PHP to PHP 5.6/7.x or better: use a newer ubuntu
the packages in 14.4 are outdated but unfortunately not yet deleted. Please use the repo for 16.04:
deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/eGroupWare/xUbuntu_16.04/ ./
read the Release Notes 17.1 and Release notes 16.1

Greetings
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

i tried it…
i upgradet the php to 5.6
(add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php;; apt install install php5.6 php5.6-mysql php5.6-mcrypt)
i disabeld 5.5 in apache and enabeld 5.6, i also enabled mysqli and mcrypt in the new php.ini.
after that i do upgrade an it updates the eGw … to 17.1 without any errors.
Iam able to log in the eGw but there is no content inside and the apache log is full with errors like this:

Hi Matze,

How did you install? Package or archive?
When archiv, have you installed to doc-root or in a subdirectory?

What did you mean with “no content”?
Did you check “Check installation” in setup?
