Call to undefined function random_int() in /var/www/fusionpbx/resources/functions.php on line 2083

[Scott Williams]

I tried to login to my system and was greeted by this:

Call to undefined function random_int() in /var/www/fusionpbx/resources/functions.php on line 2083

I think I did an update the other day, but didn't login after the update.

Where do I start looking?

Thanks,
Scott

This means you are running an old version of PHP 5. This PHP function became available on PHP 7. To accommodate people that are on outdated versions of PHP I added a function when random_int function doesn't exist to mimic this function. That was done yesterday or the day before so that people with old versions would still work. So all you have to do is update FusionPBX source code again and this will work. Then you should plan on getting to a new version of PHP 7.1 or 7.3.

Also when updating please see this note that I added today.

Thanks Mark! I remember you saying something at Cont Ed the other day, but I did not connect the two. This is a Debian 8 system that I have not updated Linux wise in quite a while. Should I do apt update then apt upgrade? I am planning on migrating to a Debian 9 system,maybe this is the time to do it.

If I do that, installing fresh and restoring the data backup, is it as simple as that?

It wasn't for me! Use caution.

Why are you not going to Debian 10?

Need to copy all files across as well. Configuration is stored in the database but not files that are associated with the customers need to be copied over to the new server.

Yes always use caution in fact upgrade a test server first so that you know what you are doing.

Also, just for info, I upgraded a bdr cluster last night from Debian Jessie and Freeswitch 1.6.20 to Debian Buster and the latest Freeswitch. I haven't touched FusionPBX yet. All appears to be working well and the only thing needed for freeswitch was adding the pgsql moidule and the new preload file in the autoload_configs. Obviously apt sources needs changing. I went form Jessie to Stretch to Buster. Fail2ban will fail to start due to jail.conf. Just back that up first and then touch the jail.conf with an empty file, that will allow the upgrades to complete.

Ok, I updated to php7.1 manually by following the php install script on github.

I rebooted the server, but still get the Fatal error: Call to undefined function random_int() in /var/www/fusionpbx/resources/functions.php on line 2083

Is there something else I need to update as well? When I do: php --version, I get 7.1.33

My guess your nginx is still using PHP 5 as PHP 7 definitely does have this function.
