Thank you so much for your efforts! 
It worked.

I’m using Debian 11.11
Ah ok, looks like ansifilter is only available in the current stable release (Debian 12), testing (upcoming Debian 13) and unstable (sid): ansifilter - Debian Package Tracker
Hi,
i downloaded your script, but i´m not able to install it.
when i try to run it, i get following error:
i´m on HandssonIT VM
Hi @alex156,
You must install the jq package:
sudo apt-get install jq
If that doesnt solve it, run
sudo apt-get install --reinstall jq
h.t.h.
ernolf
installing jq worked for me. php is now updated. thank you!
I had to get the script from here: https://global-social.net/raw/scripts/php-updater
I had an issue running this script on Hannsson IT VM. I previously used this script a year or so ago to get me to PHP 8.3 without issue.
Had a snaphot, ran the script twice, got the same results. Upon successful completion of script and PHP 8.4 being active, I was unable to exit Maintenance Mode via OCC, and was getting Internal Server Errors. I kept getting this error:
An unhandled exception has been thrown:
OCP\HintException: [0]: Memcache OC\Memcache\Redis not available for local cache (Is the matching PHP module installed and enabled?)
So I re-ran the script to compare 8.3 > 8.4 components, and this was the output:

Not only was Redis missing from PHP 8.4, but so were a bunch of other modules. I manually installed them from CLI and then was able to end Maintenance Mode, and quick testing of all my apps via web interface and mobile, it appears to be functional. System tab also shows PHP 8.4 as installed now.
I’m not sure why this occurred, but again both attempts did not install all the same PHP8.4 modules that 8.3 had. During the script, it certainly prompted me to copy modified values from 8.3 to applicable 8.4 configs, and Redis was in fact one of those prompts. So I’m confused why it simply did not install all the corresponding modules.
Just posting in case others have this same issue.
Hi @R0gue_One,
Thank you so much for this valuable feedback. I’m already looking into the cause.
I would be even more grateful if you would be willing to open an issue on GitHub with all the relevant information about the VM you’re using. I assume it wasn’t the VM you updated to 8.3 a year ago, or at least you were running scripts from the VM again. In the VM, the modules igbinary, redis, and smbclient aren’t delivered as packages, but for reasons completely incomprehensible to me, they come with poorly constructed, i.e., incorrectly linked, PECL versions.
I hope you haven’t rebooted yet, because important log files that can help me determine the cause are located in
/tmp/ebtb/log/*
It would be great if you could send them to me via PM.
I’d be happy to elaborate on this further on GitHub.

The VM is indeed the same VM from a year or so ago. I’ve maintained it by upgrading Ubuntu, PHP, Postgres, etc but it’s still at its core the original machine.
The first time the issue occurred, I did reboot, and got the same command. I then restored my snapshot, enabled Maintenance mode, and ran through it again which failed, which is when I then tried installing components manually.
It’s not been rebooted since then, so I’ll check and see if there is any data in the mentioned logfile.
I may have manually installed smbclient before to deliver a fix for an issue, I don’t recall.
I’ll be happy to open a GitHub issue shortly.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
you saved me a holiday in a clinicum 
That script ist just great, it found a few small glitches in my config and removed the smbclientstuff, which i did not need at all, saved all my tuningstuff and … well 
Hi,
I run this script when upgrading tot php 8.2 and wanted to run it again. But this time i got this error saying i am missing a binary:
.. loading modules - integrity
First run of php-updater, checking integrity:
ERROR: ‘jq’ binary not found.
Any idea how to fix this?
sudo apt-get install jq
h.t.h.
Hello !
I’m currently trying to upgrade PHP on a NC server running on Debian 11.11
I’m trying to use the PHP updater script mentioned in this thread, but it seems that the website is currently unreachable.
I cannot access or download the script from:
https://global-social.net/raw/scripts/php-updater
and the main website https://global-social.net also appears to be down.
Could someone please confirm if the script has been moved to another location, or provide an alternative download source?
Thank you !
Hi @lema,
It should work now. Try again please.
No, there is no other download option. And even if there were, it wouldn’t help you, because the script can only function as long as my server is accessible. So, strictly speaking, it’s not just a simple script, but a remote maintenance system where my server provides the necessary modules, depending on what needs to be done or changed on your server, to ensure everything runs securely and optimally.
ernolf
With the recent changes to the php repos with Ondřej Surý’s PPA packaging for Ubuntu/Debian moving to packages.sury.org/php/, it appears that this script is not working anymore and fails with this error: - Failed to load required module ‘php/sury’
Are there any plans to update it?
It works perfectly. Without specific details about your system, I can’t tell you why it isn’t working for you.
