Description:
I have used LAMP (PHP 7) Certified by Bitnami 7.1.28 while creating an instance in AWS Lightsail, but unfortunately, the PHP version is 7.1.

I would like to update/upgrade PHP or Bitnami Stack itself as I see an updated version of 7.3.11-0 from https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B072JNJZ5C

I tried to create a new instance but I am given a choice of LAMP 7.1.28 only.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi @sharad,

We have notified AWS about it, but for now it has not been published yet on Lightsail. You could use our standalone installer to install the LAMP with the latest PHP version. To do that you need to stop the services first:

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop

Then backup/rename the /opt/bitnami folder:

sudo mv /opt/bitnami/ /opt/bitnami.bak

And download the latest version:

wget https://bitnami.com/redirect/to/770107/bitnami-lampstack-7.3.11-0-linux-x64-installer.run

And run it with sudo:

sudo ./bitnami-lampstack-7.3.11-0-linux-x64-installer.run --prefix /opt/bitnami

Regards,
Michiel

Hi @michiel,
Thanks for the help.
However, I would like to add one more step before executing the installer:

chmod +x bitnami-lampstack-7.3.11-0-linux-x64-installer.run

Also, with this upgrade, one needs to take the backup of MySQL DB also if needed.

Thanks,
Sharad.

Hi @michiel,
Post upgrade I rebooted the server, and then I am unable to restart the mysql server.

bitnami@ip-172-26-10-163:~$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart
Syntax OK
/opt/bitnami/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd stopped
/opt/bitnami/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh : mysql not running
/opt/bitnami/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh : mysql  could not be started
Syntax OK
/opt/bitnami/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started at port 80

Then I tried:
bitnami@ip-172-26-10-163:~$ cat /opt/bitnami/mysql/data/mysqld.log
cat: /opt/bitnami/mysql/data/mysqld.log: Permission denied

Can you please help me here.

Thanks,
Sharad

Hi @sharad,

Did you install the new LAMP as I mentioned? Could you describe the steps you followed?
