Can't upgrade freepbx from 15 to 16 because of php package not located anywhere

When I run fwconsole versionupgrade --check it looks good, the coast is clear. When I run fwconsole versionupgrade --upgrade , I get the following. I’ve googled endlessly for sng-php74 and I can’t figure out how to resolve this error anywhere. Has anyone had this experience going from 15 to 16?

Someone suggested following instructions here https://wiki.freepbx.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=209879790 however this just redirects to https://help.sangoma.com/community/s/ which is generic and useless.

I poked around a little to find this, and was excited! https://help.sangoma.com/community/s/article/FreePBX-OpenSource-Project-Distro-Upgrade-to-FreePBX-16

however, this guide links you to this page https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FOP/FreePBX+16+Version+Upgrade+Module which, you guessed it, redirects to this junk page here… https://help.sangoma.com/community/s/

I tried using archive.org to fight back against all the dead redirects, but no luck. I am close to giving up. Where can I find sng-php74-repository, or any working instructions on how to do this?

if you can take a backup I would almost always suggest taking that backup and then installing 16 and restoring over the in-place upgrade

ive successfully restored as old as 2.11 systems with only minor tweaks required , 15 to 16 should be seamless for you

I think this is what you are looking for
