PHP 5.3.1 packages for Debian “Lenny” : they’re here!

November 30th, 2009 | by Guillaume Plessis |

The official announcement

A few days ago, the PHP Group released PHP 5.3.1 :

The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of PHP 5.3.1. This release focuses on improving the stability of the PHP 5.3.x branch with over 100 bug fixes, some of which are security related. All users of PHP are encouraged to upgrade to this release.

Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.3.1:

  • Added “max_file_uploads” INI directive, which can be set to limit the number of file uploads per-request to 20 by default, to prevent possible DOS via temporary file exhaustion.
  • Added missing sanity checks around exif processing.
  • Fixed a safe_mode bypass in tempnam().
  • Fixed a open_basedir bypass in posix_mkfifo().
  • Fixed failing safe_mode_include_dir.

Further details about the PHP 5.3.1 release can be found in the release announcement, and the full list of changes are available in the ChangeLog.

The Dotdeb changes

On the Debian side, some changes were made :

  • the packages are now patched with the official Suhosin patch.
  • beside the apache2, apache2filter, CGI and CLI flavours, the FPM one has now its own dedicated package, named “php5-fpm”. It will allow you to have greater performances and a lot of more features on a CGI-style installation (FYI, an init script, a config file and a nginx config sample are provided).

How to install?

Because migrating from PHP 5.2. to PHP 5.3 can break some applications, here is the Dotdeb release policy :

  • PHP 5.2 is still the default branch for Debian Lenny for some weeks/months. PHP 5.3 packages are kept on a separate repository.
  • PHP 5.3 will be the default branch for the upcoming Debian Squeeze (mid-2010)

Then , to install PHP 5.3 on your Debian “Lenny” box, just add these two entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list :

deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all

Now launch your favorite commands (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade) to upgrade your box.

In case you enjoy this new release, feel free to donate or to take a look at my whishlist… Xmas is coming ;)

    Upgrade went flawless. First thing I noticed is a performance increase of 11%.

    Thanks!

    I’m not sure (if it has been in your package before), but /usr/share/xcache/admin appears to went missing in php5-xcache?!

    Does new packages depend on libevent that if available only on testing?

  7. By Guillaume Plessis on Nov 30, 2009 | Reply

    @bc : the php5-fpm package depends on libevent, but a backport from Sid is available on the repository.

    Nice ! Thanks for this update ;) .

    I’ve got alot of trouble with the php5-fpm packages.

    First it references /usr/local/bin/php-fpm which doesnt exist after installing the package. /usr/bin/php-fpm AND /usr/bin/php5-fpm both exist but dont seem to point to the same file so I dont know whats up with that.
    When I’ve fixed the init script php5-fpm complains:

    Starting php-fpm PHP: syntax error, unexpected BOOL_TRUE in /etc/php5/fpm/php5-fpm.conf on line 24

    I dont understand what is wrong with the xml… Anyway, even trying to start php-fpm with just some commandline options dont seem to work properly. Something is terribly wrong here.

    I even tried running a completely new XEN instance of Debian 5 Lenny on Rackspace Cloud – but I get the same errors on that one without any other installations.

  10. By JAE on Dec 1, 2009 | Reply

    If I was unclear, I meant that the init script that is provided references /usr/local/bin/php-fpm as the command to run but that does not exist, after fixing that I simply cannot get php5-fpm to run. The previous package on php53.dotdeb.org ran just fine with the old style php-fpm patched php-cgi. So out of the box the init script is broken and afaikt the php-fpm binaries are also broken.

    Same error here, did you find a solution?

  12. By JAE on Dec 2, 2009 | Reply

    Nope, no solution. I guess the php5-fpm in the dotdeb packages arent stable right now. So I’ll wait for an update or if I have to compile my own packages.

  13. By Guillaume Plessis on Dec 2, 2009 | Reply

    The packages are “stable”. There only an issue with the new php5-fpm package. I’ll work on it and I’ll provide a fix very soon. Please be patient.

    Any way to get packages for unstable? Lots of broken dependencies when trying to install.

  15. By Guillaume Plessis on Dec 3, 2009 | Reply

    @OverlordQ : Only Lenny & Etch are supported. If you want to build the packages for unstable (and then satisfy most of the dependencies), launch these command after adding the appropriate deb-src entry in your sources.list :

    apt-get build-dep php5
    apt-get source -b php5

  16. By Marques Johansson on Dec 3, 2009 | Reply

    To get Ubuntu Karmic to install these packages I had to manually install these:
    http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/krb5/libkrb53_1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5ubuntu2_i386.deb
    http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu38_3.8-6ubuntu0.2_i386.deb

    I wish the mirrors were up to date. They’re all stuck at Sep 20, 2009. I’m only getting about 40kB/s :-(

  17. By OverlordQ on Dec 3, 2009 | Reply

    # apt-get build-dep php5
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    apache2-prefork-dev: Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed

    so I install them to make it happy:

    # aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev libaprutil1-dev

    The following NEW packages will be installed:
    apache2-prefork-dev apache2-utils{a} apache2.2-bin{a} apache2.2-common{a} libapr1-dev{a}
    libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3{a} libaprutil1-dev libaprutil1-ldap{a} uuid-dev{a}

    So I build dep again:

    # apt-get build-dep php5
    The following packages will be REMOVED:
    apache2-prefork-dev libaprutil1-dev libdb4.8-dev
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
    libdb4.6 libdb4.6-dev

    Now let’s build source:

    # apt-get source -b php5
    dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: apache2-prefork-dev

    Any way to tell it to use libdb4.8 so we dont have this circular conflict?

  18. By Guillaume Plessis on Dec 3, 2009 | Reply

    @OverlordQ : now that you have the most of the build-dependencies installed or resolved, you can use this method :

    apt-get source php5 # without the -b switch
    cd php5-5.3.1
    ./debian/rules binary

    Hi,

    Can I use the php5.3.1 source from dotdeb to build ubuntu 9.10 packages?

    If yes, how should I do?

    I just try to use the normal build build process, but it just tell me know.

    Here comes the output:

    1. sudo apt-get source php5
    2. sudo apt-get build-deb php5
    ==> apache2-prefork-dev libaprutil1-dev libdb4.7-dev should remove
    ==>libdb4.6-dev will add
    then … I use
    3. sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

    Hi Guillaume

    Thanks for your help, but there is no luck, I still can not build the php5.3 deb package in Ubunte Karmic

    I have to modify the ./debina/control file, and change the libdb4.6-dev to libdev4.7

    After that, I still got error messages

    @Neves : the update is coming but I have to look at a potential security issue. About FPM, the problem does not come from the patch, but from the packaging.

    Packages will certainly be uploaded this week-end, I was quite busy at (future-ex) work these days.

    @alnr : Dotdeb packages are built against Lenny libraries. Squeeze is not supprted although it should work with one of this solution :
    * install the dependencies by hand, as for Ubuntu : http://blog.astrumfutura.com/archives/427-Installing-PHP-5.3.1-On-Ubuntu-9.10-Karmic-Koala-With-aptitudeapt-get.html
    * rebuild the packages to build them against Squeeze libraries

    I thing, there is an error in the package. When i try this:
    $ php scripts/generate.php

    I get this error:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding() in /var/www/myairdeals/app/bootlocal.php on line 18

    But when i use the script in web browser through apache everything goes all right.

    Hey,

    It seems there’s something wrong with your packages (Or my config) I get a /tmp/mysql.sock not found error.

    My mysql’s my.cnf has the correct paths in both server and client headers, and I tried manually setting the paths in php.ini but that didn’t work.

    What else can I do ?

    Regard, Xeross

  40. By Guillaume Plessis on Jan 24, 2010 | Reply

    @Xeross : this happened with the early PHP 5.3.0 packages. It has been fixed with the last packages. Which precise version are you using?
    Could you send us a piece of code that can help us reproduce this issue?

  41. By Xeross on Jan 24, 2010 | Reply

    @Guillaume: Well giving a piece of code you can test it with might be tricky, it was only appearing when using PDO_MySQL.

    Reproduction code is tricky because I’m using Doctrine ORM. However if you download it and simply connect to a database the error should emerge.

    For now I’ve switched to a build of 5.3.0 I found that works properly.

    And I was running the latest package from your repository afaik.

  42. By Rob on Jan 27, 2010 | Reply

    I just installed PHP 5.3.1 from dotdeb on Ubuntu 9.10

    The problem is that does not come with PDO_MYSQL Driver.

    This is the only reason I can’t use PHP ! I hardly depend on PDO

    Please tell me how can I install it ?
    I tried PECL and I was able to compile pdo_mysql.so, I put the file in the same pdo.so directory, I added the line “extension=pdo_mysql.so” in pdo.ini file,
    but no effect. phpinfo() does not show the driver.

    I wonder if this build added support for pdo-mysql

    Any idea ?

    @Rob : just install the php5-mysql package

    Why on earth does this require the installation of Apache in all its bloated glory? I can’t possibly be the only one here using Lighttpd.

  46. By JAE on Feb 6, 2010 | Reply

    Does it really require apache? If you do apt-get install php5-common php5-cgi php5-cli as I usually do – Apache shouldn’t be installed. I think it’s just the default if you just apt-get install php5.

  47. By Guillaume Plessis on Feb 6, 2010 | Reply

    @Justin : do as JAE said : just install php5-cgi and the needed dependencies, not the “php5″ metapackage.

  48. By Justin on Feb 6, 2010 | Reply

    Spiffy quick reply, JAE. I was looking at an apt-get upgrade (and dist-upgrade when the packages were kept back) like a dolt. At a glance, the new packages appear to be working without a hitch. Thanks for the heads up.

  49. By Justin on Feb 6, 2010 | Reply

    @Guillame: A little peculiar dist-upgrade wanted the metapackage since I didn’t install that in the first place. Either way, I’m happy. Thanks for your work.

    Hey,

    I’ve just updated to the latest version, now setting the default mysql socket is working, but leaving it empty makes PDO assume it’s /tmp/mysql.sock so it seems it still isn’t reading from the proper location.

    seems it uses PDO mysql connection, anyway to fix this module or somthing ?

  57. By Guillaume Plessis on Feb 14, 2010 | Reply

    @Xeross : My fix was to replace the default /tmp/mysql.sock by Debian default location : /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
    But, changing the defaut_socket location in the PDO settings does not work yet. This issue should be fixed in PHP 5.3.2.

    Try to resolve this by setting a symlink. Something like :

    ln -s /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

    Or use local network socket (putting skip-name-resolve in the [mysqld] section of my.cnf should speed up this kind of connection if you only use IP addresses – not canonical names – in your mysql grants)

    @Jacky : First of all, be sure to use up-to-date packages from Dotdeb.

    Then, if you want to rebuild them, don’t try to run “./debian/rules clean”, it doesn’t run well at this time.

    About your connection problem, it seems to be the same as Xeross’ one. Try to resolve this by setting a symlink. Something like :

    ln -s /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

    Be sure to read all your error logs before posting (many) comments. They often contain the cause of your problem. Then the fix is easy.

    @Jacky : intl extension changed with its inclusion by default in PHP 5.3. Be sure your applicaiton is compatible with PHP 5.3, upgrade it if needed and don’t hesit to take a look at the documentation (by example : http://www.php.net/idn_to_ascii )

    Hi,
    I have added the two lines to my /etc/apt/sources.list

    deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all
    deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all

    as instructed.

    after running apt-get update, I run a apt-get upgrade to update php.

    I get this message when attempting to upgrade:

    apt-get upgrade
    Reading package lists… Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information… Done
    The following packages have been kept back:
    libapache2-mod-php5 libavcodec51 php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-dev php5-gd php5-mcrypt php5-mysql
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.

    9 not upgraded… why? :s

    nevermind – apt-get dist-upgrade works instead…
    *crossing fingers now* :P

    @Klaus : use a package manager such as synaptic ou dselect. They’re more verbose and they’ll tell you which dependency prevents you to update your system.

    Thanks! On Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic I also needed the following packages:

    http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/krb5/libkrb53_1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5ubuntu2_i386.deb
    http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu38_3.8-6ubuntu0.2_i386.deb
    http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libt/libtool/libtool_1.5.26-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

    (if using 64bit just change i386 suffix to amd64)

    @bman : the php5-adodb package does not come from Dotdeb

    About the php5-apc package, please ensure that you install the Dotdeb’s one.

    Dotdeb PHP extensions are located in /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/

    Thank you! That helped a lot.

    Experimental repository of Debian and its PHP dependencies frightened me.
