Upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04

  • PHP on Apache2: 22.04 uses PHP 8.1. Everything seemed to upgrade just fine, but wordpress, mediawiki, etc. stopped working. I browsed to https://bitpost.com/wiki to confirm that php was being displayed as code, not run. After a shitton of wasted time, I found that the PHP Apache mod simply needed to be enabled. WHY???
sudo a2enmod php8.1
  • mariadb upgrade failed because it did not know my root password. Just upgrade manually:
sudo mariadb-upgrade
  • wordpress news site took some heavy damage with all the updating, needs some widget love
