Easier to use "chsh www-data" or whatever your Apache user is.

>> If you haven't installed PHP 7.2 along with things like the sodium extension, then run stage 2 which installs PHP. (Grab a backup copy of your ZendTo installation first, as it may have to remove the *whole* of PHP first which can also remove ZendTo and other PHP applications in the process, before it can install the correct version).
>> Stages 3 and 5 shouldn't do any damage, but will add any new settings they need for PHP and so on.
>> Stage 7 does the actual ZendTo installation itself, which it will do as an upgrade if it finds a zendto RPM already installed. Well worth running.
>> Stage 8 is only relevant if you are using SELinux, and won't do anything if you're not.
>> Since version 4, ZendTo no longer needs any form of custom-built PHP or anything like that. So there's no recompiling to be done.

>> Also, if you have done an RPM upgrade from ZendTo 4, you probably have a whole stack of *.rpmnew files in /opt/zendto/templates. You want to move each of those into place so they replace your old *.tpl files.
>> As I said, it really is faster/easier/better to build v5 from scratch, its requirements are so different from v4.

Unless anyone has any other ideas, I will just keep working on setting up the new system. I have to get something running again for my users.

Note that you cannot drop-off directories, only files." I'm not dropping off a directory, just a single file. I tried a couple different file types - same error each time. Any suggestions for fixing this? Thanks!
