Part of the process of switching from PHP 5.3 to PHP 5.6 we actually have to remove the commercial modules and redownload and install them to get the correct version for the newer version of PHP. Can you share your logs in a ticket so we can see where it stopped and why?
I have done a yum remove php* and then a yum install php*. now i do not get the error message any more although still fwconsole is unresponsive. The php version i get is:
PHP 5.6.31 (cli) (built: Jul 18 2017 16:13:04)

Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright © 1998-2016 Zend Technologies

if i try to run a fwconsole command i get:

i will create a ticket with the two files var/log/sngupdate
/var/log/post_sngupdate
thanks a lot
Your issue is not because of YUM but rather the version of the commercial modules on your system not being compatible with PHP 5.6. Part of the upgrade is to remove the commercial modules (by doing an rm -rf on the folder) and replace it with new versions that support PHP 5.6, which is why I want to understand why that didn’t work for you.
Ticket FREEPBX-15500 with logs attached
thanks a lot
OK thanks a lot, i am discussing it with Bryan.
i appreciate your assistance, all the best with your (same more or less) issues.

Hi!
Sorry, I did not notice…
Obviously kidding since you both posted in this thread…
Thank you… I will have to figure out what I do now since there doesn’t seem to be a fix that works for everyone right now…
Good luck and have a nice day!
Nick
Hi Bryan
Have you had some time to check the logs?
Thanks in advance
BR
@alkisalgianakis Yes, I’ve been commenting on the tickets I’m aware of and trying to see how we can make the update process better moving forward.
Of course, you have been so helpful. I appreciate all your guidance and efforts so far.
Thanks a lor
Hi Bryan!
I posted more info on my ticket…
I was able to get unstuck but I am now stuck again…
I still had /var/run/post-sngupdate, I moved it out of the way…
I ran /usr/sbin/post_upgrade but it failed with yet other broken dependencies…
The main one, unsurprisingly, was nodejs-devel…
I ran
yum upgrade --skip-broken
manually and this updated quite a few things…
Unfortunately after that
/usr/sbin/post_upgrade
no longer wanted to work because it thought it had already run so I removed the file used to track this…
(I figured I didn’t have much to lose at this point…)
Oh yes, I forgot to say that, I am not sure when, network connectivity was restored…
Now it looks like the new repos don’t provide kmod-dahdi (which my Sangoma A200 needs) and I still have the el6 and they seem to complain big time about the new kernel…
Oh, I forgot to mention I had Sangoma hardware, an A200, in that system… I must confess that at one point I was beginning this might be one of the reasons I lost network connectivity since, when the drivers are loaded, it appears like a network card and maybe it was confusing something in the new distro network stuff…
This would also have explained why your in-house tests might not have experienced the problem I and other did, ie not having that kind of hardware in the system.
Though I guess you did test with Sangoma hardware, yes? Yes, you most likely did…
Now, any suggestions about what to do about kmod-dahdi?
Do I have a missing repo somewhere, do I need to replace it with something else?
Thank you and have a nice day!

Hi!
We are at at least two people who have DAHDI hardware and had network connectivity problems, me and the person who opened the FREEPBX-15489 ticket (he mentions it in this thread: FreePBX 13 -> 14 Upgrade Script kills DAHDI ).
Now in his case the virtualized network card seemed to have something to do with his network connectivity problems while in my case I wondered if my Sangoma A200 might actually have something to do with my network connectivity problems since it appears as a network card of sorts when its drivers are loaded.
Now I did have a small configuration problem at first, something which was not causing any problems before the update but it was fixed quite early and I still had connectivity problems so I am wondering what else could have played a part in this?
Maybe it’s unrelated to the problems we have but @ar_gen_tum, @ldkeen, @nsumner, @alkisalgianakis do you have DAHDI hardware or were you using a VM and did you have DNS/network connectivity problems as well or only dependency problems?
Is there anything which links our problems together…
I was able to get further and now I definitely have a problem related to having DAHDI hardware, the kmod-DAHDI package is not the right one for the kernel and doesn’t appear to be available in the repo… I believe this is what happened to the person who created the FREEPBX-15489 ticket…
Thank you and have a nice day!
Nick
OK, I removed gnome-disk-utility-libs-2.30.1-2.el6.x86_64…
I had seen it in my logs but I thought it wasn’t critical to fix all broken dependencies and I was hoping it might get fixed in a later step of the upgrade…
(Nodejs I knew it needed to be removed and replaced so it was a no-brainer…)
It looks like the upgrade script doesn’t tolerate any broken dependencies in the list package it tries to update…
I removed it and now it went muuuuuch further…
As for DAHDI, I saw this in the script output now:
######### Updating Dahdi for this kernel #########
I do not know yet if it is working though…
I see it recompiled a few things, redownloaded modules and it’s now going through “repairs”…
######### Repairing PHP Version specific modules #########
######### Repairing areminder #########
######### Repairing broadcast #########
This is where it is right now…
I am keeping my fingers crossed hoping it will complete successfully… 
I will keep you posted…
Have a nice day!
Nick
If you use any VMware specific NIC, i.e. VMXNET the upgrade will fail. You must use E1000 for it to succeed.
I did as well notice that my Wildcard TDM was detected as an ethernet controller with lspci.
Hi Mike!
So both cards appear as network cards… I wonder if that played any part in our problems…
I am not running this in a VM so that’s not what we have in common…
Thank you and have a nice day!
Nick
OK…
@GameGamer43 had asked me to run /usr/sbin/post_upgrade manually (and remove the previous script) which I did…
It looks like when the script is run that way it needs some help in the form of pressing “Enter” when it processes modules you don’t have (either that or I am starting to hallucinate… 
When it completed I went on the web interface and it worked!
(Pretty nice actually, even nice than FreePBX 13…)
Now like @waldrondigital, DAHDI did not work…
I try to do a fwconsole restart and I got this (in RED…>)

So it doesn’t find the right Sangoma Wanpipe drivers…
There is a package called wanpipe-7.0.20-8.sng7.x86_64 but it’s apparently unhappy with it so I guess we need an update, @GameGamer43?
Now, I also have another problem, when I rebooted I was no longer able to access the web interface but I am looking into it (after I have eaten something, I am starving… 
).
Apache is running and I see nothing in its logs so I am beginning to wonder if the firewall got activated or if fail2ban is playing tricks with me…
(My PBX is not in the same network segment than I am so either programs might be unhappy with that…)
edit: The firewall is not even running and is still at version 13.0.6…)
Good luck to you all and have a nice day!

Dear Nick
No network problems or dahdi hardware for me. It is just that upgrade will not complete.
We have run the upgrade on a similar machine which was not properly set up only installed and registered distro 6 to later upgrade to 7.
All worked fine.
However on a operational machine the upgrade did not complete and we are still trying.
All the best with your issues. I will be watching the thread.
Alkis
Hi Alkis!
Thank you!
So it looks like we all share some broken package problems but the added network problems some of us had might be related to our telephony hardware (Sangoma and Digium) which looks like network cards to the system.
In my case the step you had problem with I believe (redownloading commercial packages) ran apparently correctly except for the fact it was waiting for me to confirm by pressing “Enter” for each module…
In my ticket both Andrew and Bryan mentioned that this was because I had disabled the commercial modules I was not using. They have an updated script that is going into code review/QA but in the mean time the “fix” is to enable all modules (fwconsole ma enableall).
I was running it manually as Bryan had asked me to in my ticket so I was able to provide the currently needed keyboard input.
I saw the updated FreePBX web interface.
It was reporting my trunks to be online and Asterisk was, apparently, running fine…
It did report DAHDI (my Sangoma A200 card needs that) as not working) which is why I rebooted almost immediately hoping this would fix it…
It did not, looks like there’s a problem with the package I have, some sort of mismatch with the kernel most likely and no updated package…
I now have 2 main problems (3 if you count a slight cosmetical one):
-
There’s something very wrong with the DAHDI drivers… I am not sure where the dependency between kernel, DAHDI drivers and Sangoma Wanpipe drivers is broken though…
-
There’s apparently something funky going on with the default iptables rules which is blocking access to the FreePBX web interface in both HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (443)… I know it’s iptables related as clearing all iptables rules fix my problem. While I know the different port assignments pretty well I am quite far from an iptables guru. The firewall software I use don’t require me to use its “peculiar” rule format…
as for the last “cosmetic” problem
When I go from the Dashboard to DAHDI Config (surprisingly this doesn’t happen with everything, my guess is that it’s timing related…) I see a message pull down from the top of the screen (in a pretty “interesting” color) and this message says “undefined”.
I also see the same message if I click on the interface name in Live Network Usage.
My guess is that this is probably a message that tells the user to wait but something is obviously missing somewhere…
I guess I am masochistic because even though I have an almost working system now I will rerun the script as Bryan asked me to (but this time with all the modules enabled so that it doesn’t stop…)
As for your problems, Bryan said that they have an updated script that is going into code review/QA so it might be best to work for it in your case.
If however you decide to try again I suggest you enable all modules with "fwconsole ma enableall* as Bryan instructed me to and make sure, you have no broken dependencies in your logs… The easiest way I have found to check this is to do a “yum upgrade” (but don’t accept the upgrade) once the script loops and remove all (make a list, just in case and make sure you have backups) the packages it reports as broken,
You want to remove everything before it suggest to add the “–skip-broken” switch. It might complain about other problems which appear to be dependency problems as well, but this is what you want to remove, nothing else…
Do make sure you have a backup if there is anything important on that system and be ready to wait quite a while for it to complete…
Thank you very much and have a nice day!
Nick
All of the problems you have mentioned are because the system thinks your Dahdi cards are network cards. From firewall to the dashboard network interface issues.
Sangoma’s wanpipe/wanrouter driver will always look like a network driver because the Sangoma driver can do a lot more than Dahdi, but unless you need and can condition those point to point connections, it would never be a problem, it will/should never get in the way of ip routing/connections at the dahdi level, which only is an intermediary from the native driver as far as FreePBX and below should see because without extraordinary setup, there will never be a IP route from or to it, unless you want to do point to point fractional ip connections,
To learn more about it, perhaps study
So when you setup Sangoma hardware be careful to ONLY go the dahdi way, all channels will then go to Asterisk/Dahdi. And make sure your underlying OS is bybassing the unroutable Sangoma network interface

I’m using FreePBX on VM and trying updating on VM’s copy. No DAHDI hardware installed, no DNS/network connectivity problems.
