ProcessMaker currently does not function correctly with PHP 5.3.X, which creates problems with Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), so we need to install the PHP 5.2.10 packages from Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). So we have to remove the lucid repository packages Login as root and follow the below steps : 1. Remove following pacakges using the command :
apt-get --purge remove mysql-server apache2 php5 php5-mysql php5-gd php5-ldap php5-curl php5-cli phpmyadmin

2. Use this command to remove additional packages which are not useable anymore. sudo apt-get --purge autoremove 3. Now edit the source list file using the following command : nano /etc/apt/sources.list 4. Comment out all the existing repositories and add following repositories
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic universe
