PHP 5.3.3 packages get a minor update

The PHP 5.3.3 packages for Debian 5.0 “Lenny” (amd64/i386) have been updated. Here are the changes :

  • php5-fpm should now work out-of-the-box. Some unset parameters prevented its launch. Thanks to Daniel Hahler for the patch.
  • PECL/APC has been upgraded to 3.1.4
  • PECL/memcache has been upgraded to 3.0.5

Was this the issue w/ spaces at the end of lines in the fpm conf that kept it from restarting?

I installed PHP 5.3.3 and MySQL 5.1 from this repo but PHPMyAdmin show an warning:

“Your PHP MySQL Library version mysqlnd 5.0.7-dev 091210 – $Revision: 300533 $ differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.51. This may cause unpredictable behavoir.”

Everything seems to work fine, but indeed also according to the PHPinfo()-command the PHP MySQL binding seems to be 5.0.7 instead of 5.1.51.

Will this be updated in a next release?

@Kasper Schoonman : as said many times on this blog, don’t worry about that delta between the client side and the server side, it does not affect the PHP behaviour. The version of the mysqlnd client library PHP was built with is different to avoid some duplicate symbols and then segfaults. And after all, mysqlnd will have better performance than the regular libmysqlclient library. Here is why : http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqlnd.overview.php

@Guillaume Plessis : Thanks.. Another probably stupid question I got these warnings about timezone issues when using date/time related functions. I tried adding/changing line 950 of /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to:

date.timezone = “Europe/Amsterdam”
date.timezone = Europe/Amsterdam

But none worked out, finally I changed it through a VHOST setting in Apache, but I think I should be able to do this via the PHP.ini, right?

php_value date.timezone Europe/Amsterdam

Tried to install “php5-fpm” and got “E: Couldn’t find package php5-fpm”. Is it just me?

Uww… dude. I forgot to “apt-get update”. I have this automation script does a new server install for me… fixed! Thanks for pointing out. 🙂

Hello,

I can’t upgrade my PHP to 5.3. I did it like described in “Instructions” but after executing aptitude update dotdeb mirrors are fetched but no upgrades are available. The gpg key has been imported as well. What’s wrong ? 🙂

I tried to add another dotdeb mirrors, they were fetched successfully but there were still no upgrade packages available.

Thanks for any hint.

Adrian

@adrian : First, be sure to add the php53.dotdeb.org repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Then update your package list by running “apt-get update” or something equivalent. The PHP 5.3 package will be available.

I was just about ready to hit the FULL UPDATE to get PHP 5.3 installed, but I noted that SQLITE & SQLITE3 is going to get removed.

Can’t have that as a few of the services on the machine require SQLite for internal fast database management.

Why does it want to remove, and can I re-add it later?

@adrian : regarding to apt-cache policy, “apt-get install php5” should install PHP 5.3.3 from Dotdeb. Strange. No more message about conflict or something?

@Stephen : perhaps you can take care of the dependency problems with a more verbose package manager (such as aptitude or dselect).

By Post Author

With dselect it tells me:
php5-sqlite depends on libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.5.9)
php5-sqlite3 depends on phpapi-20060613+lfs
phpapi-20060613+lfs does not appear to be available

Searching for anything to do with phpapi yeilds no results.

On the Instructions page, I’ve added both sets of servers to the sources.list and looking in Adept Manager after a refresh, (I’m using Ubuntu 8.04) it shows me:
php-sqlite3 -> Installed – No change
php5-sqlite -> Upgradeable – Remove
php5-sqlite3 -> Installed – Remove

@Stephen : Dotdeb is not made for Ubuntu. It should work but you may encounter such conflicts.

If you want to install PHP from Dotdeb, install all your PHP-related packages from Dotdeb => install php5-sqlite from Dotdeb, not php5-sqlite3 from Ubuntu.

Hello,
I have upgraded from etch to lenny + php 5.3, after this i have noticed that some scripts are reserving memory, but on ending they are not releasing it.

Can some one help me what could it be ?

Hi,

I’m trying to install mongodb pecl extension on a Lenny/dotdeb php5.3.3 install.

It currently fails because phpize is missing and I can’t install php5-dev because of :

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
php5-dev: Depends: libssl-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libtool but it is not going to be installed

Any suggestion ?

Thanks.

Any of you tried APC upload progress with this version? I can’t make it work anymore 🙁
apc_fetch() always return false.

Hi,

I tried installing the new php5.3.3 package on a Deb Lenny. It install just fine – but my apache stopped processing php files. I have php5, php5-cgi (and sli) + more installed.

It seems the libapache2-mod-php5 package doesn’t bite – any recommendations?

@Kristoffer : be sure to have php5 enabled by running these commands :

a2enmod php5
/etc/init.d/apache restart

Be sure to have the appropriate lines in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf :


AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Then take a look at your logfiles

Thank you for your greate work.
Dotdeb provide us :
– MySQL
– php
packages, I think if you add these 3 ones, it will become to 1st debian internet server mirror :
– apache2
– nginx
– lighttpd

Specially apache2 is important! Because its version on deb packages is very old.

Since upgrading my Ubuntu 9.10 install of PHP 5.2.6 to dotdeb PHP 5.3.3 I am unable to install php5-dev, which I need to install certain critical PECL packages.

I get the following error:

php5-dev: Depends: libtool but it is not going to be installed

When I install libtool using the normal ‘sudo apt-get install libtool’, it installs a version that php5-dev doesn’t like any better, and still refuses to install.

I really need help with this, I don’t know what to do. I need 5.3.3 and don’t want to revert to 5.2.6. But I need to get libraries like pdflib to compile, and can’t do it without phpize that comes with php5-dev.

Guillaume:

Yea, going to a lesser version of libtool did the trick. 🙂

I got the instructions for installing PHP 5.3.3 on ubuntu 9 using the dotdeb distribution from a blog. I’m shocked to hear it might not have been true! 😉

I’m glad I went through this exercise though… learned alot more than I knew before about many aspects of package management.

It doesn’t always ‘just work’!

I am trying to rebuild the php 5.3.3 packages so I can remove the suhosin patch but I cannot get the dependencies to be met.

I get the following when trying to install the libraries

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
apache2-prefork-dev: Depends: apache2.2-common (= 2.2.9-10+lenny8) but 2.2.15-3 is to be installed
Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed
libapr1-dev: Depends: libapr1 (= 1.2.12-5+lenny2) but 1.4.2-3 is to be installed
Depends: uuid-dev but it is not going to be installed
libpcre3-dev: Depends: libpcre3 (= 7.6-2.1) but 7.8-3 is to be installed
libsnmp-dev: Depends: libsnmp15 (= 5.4.1~dfsg-12) but 5.4.2.1~dfsg-5+b1 is to be installed
Depends: libsnmp-perl (= 5.4.1~dfsg-12) but it is not going to be installed

@Adam : you should skip the “apt-get build-dep” step and install the build dependencies manually (they’re listed on top of the debian/control file) to avoid the distribution-specific conflicts.

By Post Author

That’s what happens when I install them manually. The build-dep doesn’t work at all so I did a ./configure and then installed manually but I get that error list.

@Adam : the steps…

1. apt-get source php5
2. install the build dependencies manually
3. remove suhosin from debian/patches/series
4. edit debian/control to ajust the dependencies (some are distribution-specific and hardcoded)
5. run “./debian/rules binary” instead of debuild or ./configure
6. install the resulting packages. If there’s still conflicts, repeat from step 4.

By Post Author

I get this now

Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Possible reasons follow:

1. Perl is not installed
2. apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using –with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs
3. Apache was not built using –enable-so (the apxs usage page is displayed)

Is that something I obviously don’t need and can bypass?

If i try to install that I get

apache2-prefork-dev: Depends: apache2.2-common (= 2.2.9-10+lenny8) but 2.2.15-3 is to be installed
Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed

Getting rid of this strange apache 2.2.15 dependency is the key to your problem.
Use a decent APT-wrapper, such as dselect, aptitude or synaptic to resolve that conflict and to install apache2-prefork-dev

By Post Author

aptitude instead of apt-get is almost a given these days, especially in situations such as these.

Love your repositories Guillaume ! And I must say I’d also like to see nginx added! Its a chore to have to compile new updates each time. versions of apache and lighttpd would also be nice, but I don’t use them much personally.

@ Guillaume it’s acutally building now once I used aptitude to get prefork-dev installed.

Thanks for your help!

Oh btw….when i upgrade to your repo to update php5.3.3 I had this initial error

Unpacking replacement php-pear …
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/php-pear_5.3.3-0.dotdeb.1_all.deb (–unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/php/XML/Util.php’, which is also in package php-xml-util

Uninstalling php-xml-util fixed it but should this happen?

The build keeps failing here

/bin/sed: can’t read /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la’ is not a valid libtool archive
make[1]: *** [ext/enchant/enchant.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/php5-5.3.3/apache2-build’
make: *** [build-apache2-stamp] Error 2

I fixed the libgmodule installing a newer libglibmm but now I am really stuck on this one .

make[1]: *** [ext/snmp/snmp.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/php5-5.3.3/apache2-build’
make: *** [build-apache2-stamp] Error 2

But slowly getting there 🙂

The suhosin patch really causes a problem with my server. Is it possible for you to release a suhosin free build? I can’t get the build working myself and I tried going back to 5.2.6 but no luck with that either.

Hello there!
I try to use php on cli…

php -v

php -m

But no mysql!

If i try to load my /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and add there the line:
extension=mysql.so
i’ve got an error:
PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/mysql.so’ – /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/mysql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

When I use:
extension=/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mysql.so

This Error:

PHP Warning: Cannot load module ‘mysql’ because required module ‘mysqlnd’ is not loaded in Unknown on line 0

What should i try? phpinfo() with apache is everytrhing ok! (mysql, mysqli, …) loaded successfull

Found the problem 😀

which php is /usr/local/bin/php instead of /usr/bin/php

have to change my alias 🙂

I ran into some php package conflicts with debian squeeze and had to pin them to fix the problem. I didn’t find anything in the documentation about it so here is how I fixed it in case someone else has the same problem:

I created /etc/apt/preferences.d/dotdeb
containing:
#——————————-
Package: *
Pin: origin php53.dotdeb.org
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: origin packages.dotdeb.org
Pin-Priority: 900
#——————————-

Then I ran apt-get update
and no more package conflicts.

j’aimerai savoir si vous compter mettre le dépôt pour php5.3.4, et si oui auriez vous une date en tête ?

espérons une publications rapide du patch, une info sur la sorti de celui si ?
une date même approximative ?

Suhosin Patch 0.9.10

suhosin-patch-5.3.4 – 69683b97f1e8d8c7ad01eebcbb8a56fa – sig

celui si ?

@Andre : the Suhosin patch has been published last week. Then I built the PHP 5.3.4 packages after fixing some annoying issues. They’re now available on php53.dotdeb.org. I’m currently writing a note about it.

Here are the news. Thanks for asking.
