Zabbix Frontend Error: Minimum required PHP version is 7.2.0.

[hernan]

Hello guys, I have the following error:

Environment: Ubuntu 18.04 - Zabbix Server 5.0.1

1) I upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04.

2)After that I checked the php version:

**************
pepe@zabbixserver:/etc/zabbix$ php -version

3) The database was upgraded without problem:

Thank you so much, this did the trick.

For some reason, my apache2 service refused to start after this. So I had to modify the contents of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ as follows:

sudo mv php7.2* ~

More precisely (I was just being catious), more appropiate would be:

sudo rm php7.2*

My situation is probably rather special, since I migrated from Ubuntu 16.04 via 18.04 to 20.04 (still running Zabbix 4.4).
Then, following the migration procedures (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation.../debian_ubuntu), I ended up with Zabbix Frontend Error: Minimum required PHP version is 7.2.0.

What did not help either was that I had to configure my self hosted repository (using apt-mirror for Ubuntu and wget for Zabbix).
Probably it would also be possible to add the zabbix repo to apt-mirror, but for the time being I will leave it as is.

=> if anybody know how to add the zabbix repo to the apt-mirror, I would be very interested in implementing this.
