I tried adding that anagram solver from the last post, but Hugo fails to build on this server, because the OS was twelve years old.

So I performed distro upgrades from 14 to 16 to 18 to 20 to 22 to 24. There’s not a lot installed here, so there wasn’t a ton to break. That said, the only thing that actually matters, apache2, suffered a poor fate.

I just had to disable a few modules though. Some it helpfully told me about when starting apache2, others were in the error logs.

sudo a2dismod wsgi
sudo a2dismod python
sudo a2dismod php7.4

And, well, if you’re reading this (you’re not), the upgrade went smoothly with no trouble!
