folks,

I have a Ubuntu 12.04. Server with Owncloud 7.0.4.2 on it. I want to migrate to a 16.04 machine and then upgrade to oc 9. Updating the old owncloud 7 before migration does not work on ubuntu 12.04. Since I need the same version for migration, I need to install oc 7 on the ubuntu 16.04 server. Unfortunately, this is not possible either because Owncloud 7 needs php5 and there are no installation candidates available on ubuntu 16.04.

How can I do this in a proper way? Do I need to migrate it to an ubuntu 14.04 first, then update and then migrate to ubuntu 16.04?

Best Greetings

Update (27.3.17): The solution for me was to install php5.6 on the ubuntu 16.04 machine with the ondrej repo (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php).

In short, yes. You should upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 first, then upgrade again to 16.04. This is the proper way to do things.

If you have physical access to the server, you could load 16.04 on a USB drive, boot from it, and then upgrade directly.
