This question already has an answer here:
How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release?
9 answers
I've got a fresh Ubuntu 17.04 server, I've configured networking and can resolve all addresses as I'd expect, however when I run sudo apt update I get to ~19% at which point I get a load of messages indicating failures, such as...
err http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-security release 404 not found [91.189.88.162 80]
and then
Repository http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-security does not have a release file
this is repeated several times.
All the listed URIs are reachable/resolve from terminal.
sudo apt-get upgrade
Fails with
reading package list... done
building dependency tree
reading state information... done
calculating upgrade... done
0 upgraded, 0 newely installed, 0 to remove and 0 upgraded
The problem is that without updates I can't get any other packages to install and I'm not familiar enough with linux to deal with it.
Anyone got any thoughts on why updates aren't taking?
I know I'm supposed to be on 17.10 by now but I was hoping that'd be able to be sorted with an upgrade!

Ubuntu 17.04 is EOL (2017.April + 9months = 13-Jan-2018), and sometime post-EOL the repos get moved fromarchives.ubuntu.com(where it looks for updates) toold-releases.ubuntu.com- so its looking for updates when they've gone. Given its a clean install - just use 17.10, or an LTS (long term support) version if you don't want to upgrade often. (the following link [next comment] provides info if you want to upgrade from 17.04)

If you look at the folders (http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu); you'll find artful, xenial & other supported releases - but you'll note the 'zesty' folders are gone

Wow, thanks for the answer, I knew 17.04 was out of date but I hadn't expected it to be so ruthlessly purged. I'll just build from scratch with a newer version. Much appreciated.

@guiverc your comment is a valid answer - could you post it as an answer? Note that even though this is about an EOL release it's specifically about how to upgrade it, so perhaps this is still a valid question

Ubuntu 17.04, released in 2017-April (hence 17.04) came with nine months of support; 2017-04 + 9 months = 13-Jan-2018 EOL (End-Of-Life).
Sometime after EOL (no length-of-time is defined) the repos get moved from archives.ubuntu.com (where Ubuntu versions look for updates) to old-releases.ubuntu.com, so your 17.04 is looking for updates where they were.
Given it's a clean install - just use 17.10, or an LTS (long term support; five years of support) version if you don't want to upgrade often.
If you looked (eg. opened-in-a-browser) the address you specified http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu has artful (17.10), xenial (16.04), trusty (14.04) & other supported releases (inc. 'in-test' 18.04), but will discover the 'zesty' (17.04) & other post-EOL release folders are gone.
