Postfix admin don't work after moving from php 7.4 to 8.0.5

[Arturitu12]

After I moved from php 7.4 to 8.0.4 postfixadmin don't work, i didn't change any postfixadmin or database settings. When I try to connect to my domain under /postfixadmin i see HTTP 500 error, before update all works well.

Hi - what version of Postfixadmin are you using?

If you're using the latest version, please check 'setup.php' after authenticating with the setup password; it might give you some hints.

Failing that, check the Apache ( ? ) error log - sometimes this is /var/log/apache2/error.log but your configuration may differ.

It's newest version
I have that error in log: PHP Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /usr/share/postfixadmin/functions.inc.php on line 730, i go to the following line:

Also any postfixadmin-cli commands don't work returning:

PHP Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /usr/share/postfixadmin/scripts/postfixadmin-cli.php on line 331

i think your version of postfixadmin is old; updating will fix it.

[Arturitu12]

"postfixadmin is already the newest version (3.2.1-3)."

[DavidGoodwin]

there are newer versions than that ... https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin/releases

So why ubuntu repository don't see it after apt-get update? Git clone downloading 3.2 too, I need manually extract this tar.gz?

[Arturitu12]

When i try to run new version after manually extracted this tar.gz it says postfixadmin is no installed

[Arturitu12]

i running my server at ubuntu 20.04

'this new version'

• what version are you trying to install / use ?
• I personally wouldn't mix a debian package and installing from source. I'd do: dpkg -r --purge postfixadmin and then configure / setup PostfixAdmin from a .tar.gz file

When I installed postfixadmin 1st time i used this tutorial: https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/postfixadmin-create-virtual-mailboxes-ubuntu-20-04 , it installed me 3.2.1.3 , ubuntu commands apt-get update and apt-get upgrade sees postfixadmin 3.2.1.3 as newest version, i really don't know how to install it from tar.gz

[Arturitu12]

I tried to install manually following the INSTALL.TXT but when i go to cinfigured url, setu.php doesen't display

[DavidGoodwin]

are you sure there isn't another postfixadmin configuration within the webserver that's conflicting with what you're trying to use?

(dpkg --purge -r postfixadmin ?)

[Arturitu12]

I purged, apache virualhost config is ok too

[Arturitu12]

I just wondering why apt see only 3.2.1.3 when there is 3.3.8

[DavidGoodwin]

because Debian/Ubuntu don't roll out version updates within a release - they will patch bugs / security issues, but that's all.

[Arturitu12]

I turned off all other virtual apache hosts and still when i go to postfixadmin nothing load, when i type /setup.php i see error 403 even when www-data has priviliges to it

[Arturitu12]

So ubuntu apt dont work for postfixadmin mhm

[Arturitu12]

Ok I think better for to just switch back to php7.4 and wait for new erpository package ill close this
