Debian 7 is like 3 years out of security support. Are you sure you want to be running something with that much access on your network devices on it?

But yeah, PHP 7 has been a requirement for a while now...

Hi,

You likely just need to update PHP to a recent 7.x release and it should work.

I'm sure there are lots of guides on installing PHP 7.x on Debian 7 around :)

Hi,

We have updated our Observium platform to the latest version CE
19.8 and we are facing the following issue.
After finishing the upgrade using the instructions on the website
we were able to access the web interface just once. When we logged
in the first time after the upgrade we received a message that the
php version also must be updated. After that we were unable to
logon to the web interface (after login we see a blank screen) and
we receive the following error in the apache error log:

/[Wed Sep 16 12:33:07 2020] [error] [client  PHP Fatal error:
 Call to undefined function password_hash() in
/opt/observium/html/includes/authentication/mysql.inc.php on line
101, /

Is it possible to backup the configuration and update php version
and use Observium installation again? If yes is there any guide
how to perform the update?
We have observium installed on a Debian 7 machine.

Observium is just a MySQL database, a config.php and the contents of the rrd directory.

The easiest way to migrate is just to run the install process on a new system, but replace the database insertion step with inserting a dump from the original install, and then copying over the config.php and rrd directory.

Hi,

Is it possible to migrate my current Observium configuration to a new VM and if yes is there any guide how to do it since I am not very familiar with the specific system?

Thank you, Marios

We do not support TurnKey appliance(s). It's very old. We do not know who created it and how maintains it.

Hi Adam,

I am using the TurnKey linux Observium appliance and as per your instructions I have downloaded the latest version of the appliance and now I am at the process to export the database from my previous Observium appliance. During the initialisation I wasn't able to import the dump from the original install so I will perform the import after the initialisation. Does this affect the new system in any way? Also should I create dump of all the databases or just the /phpmyadmin /which is the database of the old system?

*_Old Observium appliance                                New Observium appliance_*

Thank you, Marios
