Hello, I am currently running Kloxo-MR and wish to switch to KloxoNG. Do I need to follow any specific steps to make the switch? I have no idea about the procedure to follow.
I have 4 websites running, 2 of them on WordPress and need to update PHP to 7.0 at least (currently at 5.6) for some of the plugins to function correctly. That is one of the main reason for the switch to KloxoNG. Can it be done?
Thanks.

As long as you are using Centos 7 you can upgrade from Kloxo-MR to KloxoNG.
The process cannot be reversed and make sure you’ve made a backup (or taken a snapshot) of your VM (or instance) so you can restore to your previous version if there is a problem.
Note: Kloxo-MR’s backup tools are broken so don’t trust it to make a copy of your install – you must back up the entire VM not just Kloxo.
Use the installation instructions at https://github.com/KloxoNGCommunity/kloxong/blob/master/how-to-install.txt
Or just follow these commands
cd /
yum update -y
cd /tmp
rm -f kloxong*
rpm -ivh https://github.com/KloxoNGCommunity/kloxong/raw/initial-rpm/kloxong-release.rpm
cd /
yum clean all
yum update kloxong-* -y
yum install kloxong -y
sh /script/upcp -

Thanks, Yes, I have Centos 7 installed on my VPS, running Kloxo-MR, where all the websites are hosted.
Will try upgrading and see how it goes.
Regarding PHP, does KloxoNG comes with PHP7 or do I have to take some additional steps later on in order to update PHP?
Thanks.

KloxoNG supports php up to version 7.4 (next release will also have php 8 but not ready to release yet).
You can select the php versions on the “Webserver Configure” screen. My preferred configuration for WordPress is to add php 7.4 with “Multiple PHP Install”
Then for each domain go to “Web Features” and select the required php version from the “PHP Selected” pull down.

So after almost 2 years of posting this topic I finally gather the courage to upgrade to KloxoNG from Kloxo-MR. Just hope the server doesn’t break. Will post here if any problems occur, wish me luck.
Thanks.

I am getting some error messages but unable to write here or post images since wordpress spam protection keeps blocking me. How can I post?
Thanks.

Ok, so your error is when executing the line
# rpm -ivh https://github.com/KloxoNGCommunity/kloxong/raw/initial-rpm/kloxong-release.rpm
you get the error
“Failed dependencies: mratwork-release > 0 is obsoleted by kloxong-release-0.1.1-1.noarch”
kloxong-release contains the yum repository setting for kloxong and is meant to replace mratwork-release .
Because there is a dependency problem, you could try manually removing mratwork-release and force install kloxong-release.
Remove mratwork-release
rpm -e –allmatches –nodeps –noscripts –notriggers mratwork-release
if that works then try
Force install kloxong-release
rpm -ivh –nodeps https://github.com/KloxoNGCommunity/kloxong/raw/initial-rpm/kloxong-release.rpm

Sorry, for the late reply, got stuck up in some work. Just now got back to it and did as you advised and was able to transform to KloxoNG just fine!
Everything is working as intended, switched my sites to PHP7.4 and everything working fine.
Thanks for the help. Will also look forward to contribute to the project in any way possible.
Cheers for the good work! 🙂

Glad to hear it worked.
Work is underway on Kloxo 8 but it is still early days. Centos 7 is approaching End of Life so I’m hoping to have a release out before Jun 30, 2024.

Yes, I read about Centos7 reaching EOL the other day, was wondering what would happen then.
