A couple of years back I did a website for a friend of mine, which I blogged about in The Making of Haraldbaumgartner.com<\/a>. We did a couple of updates since then, but there haven’t been any changes over the past three years or so. Moreover I neglected updating the software behind the website, so it was still running off Joomla version 1.7.<\/p>\n

About a week ago the provider disabled PHP 5.6, which Joomla 1.7 depended on, so the website was broken. It also meant that there was no path for automated upgrades any more.<\/p>\n

After some brainstorming I had found my solution: I decided to recreate the setup that the provider had disabled (Apache, PHP5.6, mysql) in VirtualBox<\/a>. All I had to do is to<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download an Ubuntu<\/a> 18.04 iso<\/li>\n
  2. Install Ubuntu in VirtualBox<\/a> and then in Ubuntu install Apache and mysql.<\/li>\n
  3. Add some PHP 5.6 repository and install PHP 5.6<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Copy the mysql database over to my VirtualBox Ubuntu Server as well as all the files via FTP<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tada, the website was up and running again on my local machine:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>With this in place I could restore all the stuff I nedded and migrate to Joomla 3.9. Finally http:\/\/www.haraldbaumgartner.com\/<\/a> is back online! On the way there I also fixed all the file permissions, so that in the future Joomla would be able to update automatically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
