Thanks to all that posting help.
To review, I was running Ubuntu 12.04 did an on-line upgrade to 14.04
and it broke my PHP. All efforts to fix failed.
So I did a clean install from DVD. Having /home on a separate drive made
this much less complex that it otherwise would have been.
I backed up everything! That is, I believe, why the install went quite well.
Lots of speed bumps, of course. Having to install all those utility apps
when I first needed them.
And I stumbled a bit when I restored my hosts file and got the
permissions wrong :(
But I did the install over the weekend, when then was no pressure to get
back up and running. I could walk away and come back later. The idea
that I had a permissions problem came to me while out at a pub!
So in future I plan to upgrade to new versions, a couple months after
release, and do a clean install over a lazy weekend!
The system now is noticeably "snappier" than before. I like.
