Can not transition from Alpine Linux to Debian for WordPress on App Service

齋藤修一 0

I tried to migrate App Service WordPress from Alpine Linux to Debian in the Azure portal, but I couldn't select php8.3 in the configuration tag. Also, it remains at php8.2 and doesn't update to debian even after restarting.

I am following the instructions provided by Microsoft:

@齋藤修一 Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

I have tried to reproduce the behavior by creating a new WordPress app service unfortunately as called out in the blog post all the app service that were deployed after October 7 2024 the default image is Debian instead of alpine.

Tried switching back to alpine and upgrading back to Debian by changing the stack settings(PHP minor versions) in configuration blade and able to do it without any issues.

Could you please share more details to assist you better on this.

What all the versions of PHP that you can see in Minor versions drop down under Stack Settings in Configuration Blade.

what is the current PHP version value that is present in Minior version in stack settings & container image name?

As suggested in blog post if you tried to change the value to PHP 8.3 what is the container image value that you are seeing in properties widget in Overview blade?

Post changing the value to PHP 8.3 in configuration if your container image value is showing as alpine in portal. I would suggest you verify the distro by doing SSH to app service and run this cmdlet cat /etc/*release* to know the distro.

@齋藤修一 Thanks for sharing more details and apologize for the delay in my response.

I am using the below marketplace image to host WordPress in App service

Using this I am able to upgrade to php 8.3 as suggested in the blog post without any issues. If you are using any other image, please do let me know.

If you are using the same above marketplace image and still facing the issue, please do share the requested information over the private message to assist you further.

Thank you for confirming.

I will attach the marketplace when I created WORDPRESS.

It did not exist in the current marketplace.

Any guidance appreciated.

Since I was unable to change the current workplace,

I created a new workplace, which is shown here. Unfortunately,

The following error was displayed and I was unable to create the workplace.

It appears to be a Wordpress SQL error.

I would appreciate any guidance as to the cause.

I have attached a screen capture below.
