Upgrade from 4.4 to 5.0 Problem with apt sources

[mpmichael]

Hello,

I tried a Zabbix Server upgrade from 4.4.10 to 5.0.2.
I did :

dpkg --purge zabbix-release

wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_5.0-1+$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb
dpkg -i zabbix-release_5.0-1+$(lsb_release -sc)_all.deb
apt update
apt install -y --only-upgrade zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php
apt-get install -y zabbix-apache-conf

Then I got this Error:

The frontend does not match Zabbix database. Current database version (mandatory/optional): 5000000/5000000. Required mandatory version: 4040000. Contact your system administrator.

• I tried to update only zabbix-frontend-php but doesen't work
• I tried: apt purge zabbix-frontend-php and apt install zabbix-frontend-php -> no success

Some tries later (i did several variations) I noticed - that the command

dpkg -l | grep zabbix

returned

My /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbix.list was:

deb http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu xenial main

I'm confused - could anyone help?

There is no zabbix-frontend-php package for Xenial.

https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix/

Zabbix 5.0 requires PHP 7.2 or later, so it can no longer run with the standard PHP version of Xenial. You should be able to get it working by setting up PHP 7.2 or later and using the package zabbix-frontend-php-deprecated.

https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix/zabbix-frontend-php-deprecated_5.0.2-1%2Bxenial_all.deb

However, there is no package named zabbix-apache-conf, so I think that you need to create the configuration file yourself by referring to the configuration files for other versions.
