Hi guys. I'm in a position where I have to migrate a working Ubuntu 10.04.02 server with PHP 5.3.29 to a Ubuntu 16.04. Don't ask why we're not using PHP 7.3 or 18.04 ...
My problem is that I don't know how to do it, what's the procedure? What should I look for? I mean, I can't just move the files from one server to another and update its config.
For example, I found out that I need to compare the PHP modules between the two servers. And, since I can't find any PHP 5.3.29 repo, I've decided to use Sergey's PHP 5.4.45 with Apache 2.4.18. I've added Sergey's PHP modules repo, compared the PHP modules using "php -m" and started installing the missing modules on the new server. But, this wasn't the only thing I was supposed to compare. I found out I should start comparing the rest of the modules using "pear". Ok, now what? What about Apache?
I mean, how should I proceed further?
Thank you.
What to look/check for when moving PHP 5.3/4 from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 16.04?
