This is a continuation of Apache listing php file, not executing it where I described trouble using virtualmin to transfer Wordpress sites from an old (Ubuntu 18.04 server) to a Ubuntu 22.04 server. I ultimately gave up, and chose a different tack.
Instead, I recreated a virtual server (using Virtualmin) and then used the Virtualmin script to install Wordpress on the VPS. This worked fine. Wordpress worked as expected, and I used it to install the UpdraftPlus plugin. I then used Updraft Plus to back up the server (from the old host) and used Updraft Plus to restore from that backup. I also adjusted /etc/hosts on my laptop so that the DNS name pointed to the new VPS.
After restoring the site (using UpdraftPlus), here’s the current state:
- When I visit my site
example.com, my browser displaysFile not found. - The Virtualmin Apache Error Log file shows
... time stamp ... AH01071: Got error 'Primary script unknown' - The
/etc/apacha2/sites-availalbe/example.comfile contains the following. (I manually replaced my domain name with “example.com”.

The corresponding file at
/var/php-fpmis shown as:srw-rw---- 1 example example 0 Oct 3 13:00 155822791930353.sock=
What other information could I provide? Many thanks.
Update: I need to emphasize the following;
- Installing Wordpress using the VIrtualmin script worked fine. I could edit & configure it as expected.
- Only after restoring the old Wordpress site from the old-site.com did I run into problems/php stopped working. What settings (especially PHP settings) would have been imported from the old site that leads to tears?
Thanks again.
