I want to use ondrej ppa to upgrade php version in ubuntu server. I have connected to internet connection.

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

I tried and got an error:

Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:ondrej/ubuntu/php'
'ondrej' user or team does not exist

I had tried using -E in the command and the error is the same.

about the proxy setting, I do not really understand. I do not know how to adjust the setting according the answer in here

I also tried this:

RUN apt-get -y install locales
RUN locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
ENV LANG en_US.UTF-8
ENV LANGUAGE en_US:en
ENV LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8
RUN add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php

but the result is the same, the error cannot add ppa:ondrej

Thank you

Apparently it was an issue with DNS or the server was down because the commands you posted are now working successfully. 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

After the update, sudo apt install php installed the latest PHP version (currently 7.3)

Maybe the problem is caused by

  • your locale (language etc)
  • your computer's internet connection
  • some [other] installed PPA or program package

I tried with a live Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, and I could add the repository ppa:ondrej/php.

There was a warning: 'add-apt-repository is broken with non-UTF-8 locales.' and a tip with a work-around. See below.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
 Co-installable PHP versions: PHP 5.6, PHP 7.x and most requested extensions
 are included. Only Supported Versions of PHP
 (http://php.net/supported-versions.php) for Supported Ubuntu Releases
 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) are provided. Don't ask for end-of-life
 PHP versions or Ubuntu release, they won't be provided.

Debian oldstable and stable packages are provided as well: https://deb.sury.org/#debian-dpa

You can get more information about the packages at https://deb.sury.org

BUGS&FEATURES: This PPA now has a issue tracker:
https://deb.sury.org/#bug-reporting

CAVEATS:
1. If you are using php-gearman, you need to add ppa:ondrej/pkg-gearman
2. If you are using apache2, you are advised to add ppa:ondrej/apache2
3. If you are using nginx, you are advise to add ppa:ondrej/nginx-mainline
   or ppa:ondrej/nginx
