Any possible way to get EVE-NG Community working on Ubuntu 18.04.6

[matt.d.rogers]

A lab user of ours upgraded their EVE-NG VM from Ubuntu 16.04.3 to 18.04.6. After this, the file structure of the /opt/unetlabs/ directories all appear intact thank goodness but the web login page is unresponsive (will not login) and I get fatal php errors from the init.php file, line 93 when running the "fix permissions" and "restore db" commands:

Code: Select all

root@eve-ng:~# unl_wrapper -a restoredb
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function yaml_parse_file() in /opt/unetlab/html/includes/init.php:93
Stack trace:
#0 /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper(17): require_once()
#1 {main}
  thrown in /opt/unetlab/html/includes/init.php on line 93

Networking-wise, everything appears to be fine since I can https and ssh to the EVE-NG VM, but I notice in the ESXi VM console I receive a message that "pnet0 has no IP address." This is demonstrably false. The IP is configured in the /etc/network/interfaces file (does not use netplan).

Interestingly, there is now a virtual bridge interface with a private IP under IP Info (none of my other EVE-NG VMs running on Ubuntu 16 have this).

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Not yet, but later this year EVE Community will be on EVE Pro platform so will use Ubuntu 20

Thanks Uldis! I appreciate your response.
