I am trying to update my php from 5.3.10-1~lucid+2uwsgi2 (cli) to 5.4, but getting error. I am trying with the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5

but getting the error:

Error reading https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~ondrej/+archive/php5: couldn't connect to host

Could you please suggest how to do my update?

Thanks in advance.

    I know this doesn't technically solve your problem, but 10.04 is really old. Perhaps consider upgrading to a newer/supported version of ubuntu

Here's what you do:

Inside /etc/apt/sources.list we add

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php5-oldstable/ubuntu lucid main 
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php5-oldstable/ubuntu lucid main

And then we add his key and update the system

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E5267A6C
apt-get update

Now, we can get the new PHP5.4!

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

EDIT Seems like the package is not longer available as there is no more support for Ubuntu 10.04. See post https://askubuntu.com/a/419462/189996 and the comments.

  • If you execute sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5 it had added deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php5/ubuntu lucid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php5/ubunt lucid main This lines you should remove...

  • About the key. If you hit apt-get update it should show you which key is missing... you can check manually if the key exists: keyserver.ubuntu.com
