PHP 5.3.3 packages are available

July 25th, 2010 | by Guillaume Plessis |

On july, 22nd, the PHP Group released PHP 5.3.3 :

The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of PHP 5.3.3. This release focuses on improving the stability and security of the PHP 5.3.x branch with over 100 bug fixes, some of which are security related. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release.

The packages for Debian “Lenny” are now available on Dotdeb on the usual repository.

Of course, you should read the full announcement, the PHP 5.3 migration guide and consult the Changelog.

Caution : (to PHP-FPM users) with the inclusion of PHP-FPM in the PHP 5.3 core, the syntax of the configuration file (/etc/php5/fpm/php5-fpm.conf) has changed. It switched from a XML syntax to an INI one. Please prepare your new configuration file before upgrading, by reading carefully the PHP documentation and this page.

And thanks to Stefan Esser and the Month of PHP security for improving PHP.

    Hello,

    is it possible to install the dotdeb 5.2 and 5.3 packages together to switch the Version via PHP CGI?
    Has someone try this?

  3. By Guillaume Plessis on Jul 25, 2010 | Reply

    @Björn : the PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3 files are almost the same and the Debian dependencies avoid their both installations on the same instance. You’ll have to split your websites between several servers/VM/chroot to migrate them, sorry. Perhaps a reverse-proxy could help you to do the trick.

    Hello,

    First I’d like to thank you for dotdeb, it’s a blessing for all lenny users, even more-so now that we get php-fpm with a simple aptitude install.

    I’ve been wondering, is the php53 repository independent? Can I actually use it without adding the dotdeb one? I don’t use mysql, nor any of the other tools you provide in dotdeb, I just need php53.

    Are these packages built against a stock lenny install, or do they actualy depend on some dotdeb packages?

    Thanks,
    gratefuly yours

  5. By Guillaume Plessis on Jul 25, 2010 | Reply

    All the Dotdeb packages are built on a stock Debian Lenny to be the most independant on each other as possible.

    Then you can use only the php53 repository.

    Once this repository has been merged with the main one (on Squeeze release?), you could use apt-pinning to avoid the installation of unwanted Dotdeb packages.

    horde brings up an error, that no imap auth is available, is this an fault with your php packges?

    @easteregg : I can’t say without any further info (error message, log, server config…). I run many webmails without any issue.

    Please consult your logfiles, the PHP Changelog, the PHP doc to know if something changed in PHP 5.3.3. On the Dotdeb side, nothing changed between 5.3.2 and 5.3.3.

    horde is complaining about a missiong imap_auth extention?
    but i read, you have to compile your php5 with –with-imap or something.

    @easteregg : did you install the php5-imap package and did you check that your horde installation does not miss any library or any prerequisite?

  11. By easteregg on Jul 26, 2010 | Reply

    sure, i installed horde with plesk! so there should be everything installed , needed by horde including php5-imap

  12. By Guillaume Plessis on Jul 26, 2010 | Reply

    @easteregg : I checked that the php5-imap has the same features as before. It sounds like you’ll have to leave plesk, dive into the guts of your system (console, logs and so on…) to see what is missing (a webserver restart, a horde or pear library…). Perhaps you’ll have to check the Horde/IMP/Plesk forums to see if someone has the same issue.

    Hi there, and thanks for new update :-)

    But actually I have a problem with php-fpm… I use Ubuntu 9.10, and I’ve updated new packages from yours repo today, and php-fpm doesn’t work since that (worked well before). The problem appears as below:
    ”
    Starting php5-fpm Jul 26 19:06:28.664731 [ALERT] [pool www] pm.min_spare_servers(0) must be a positive value
    Jul 26 19:06:28.664778 [ERROR] failed to post process the configuration failed
    ”
    when I’m trying to start a php-fpm.

    Here is my php version:
    “PHP 5.3.3-0.dotdeb.0 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Jul 24 2010 01:12:50)
    Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group
    Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
    with Suhosin v0.9.32.1, Copyright (c) 2007-2010, by SektionEins GmbH”

    My config file is already an INI format, and the value for “min_spare_servers” variable is set to positive number, I mean “5″ (didn’t edit the config).

    So.. does anyone can tell me what is the problem?

    Thanks, Matt

    It’s my again – sorry for response to myself ;-)

    Hmm, the problem seems to be resolved now.. php-fpm working fine.. and i just went to shop for some beers, and when i came back my website woke up :-)

  16. By Daniel Hahler on Jul 27, 2010 | Reply

    Matt, your site probably did not start working with the new php-fpm, without you having fixed the ini.

    Here are my observations:

    1. There should be a default for pm.min_spare_servers / pm.max_spare_servers (5 and 35 is used in comments in the default ini).
    This default can be provided in the default ini (just uncomment the lines), or hardcoded in php-fpm itself.
    Otherwise, the ini won’t work out of the box, resulting in errors like:
    This prevents:
    [ALERT] [pool www] pm.min_spare_servers(0) must be a positive value
    [ERROR] failed to post process the configuration

    WORKAROUND: define

    2. Similar to 1., there’s no default for the “pid” setting (which refers to the PID file).
    Without this, the whole init script is rather useless, because it relies on the PID file.
    So, please enable the “pid” setting via default conf.

    3. A problem with the init script:
    Graceful shutdown/restart fails when the process mentioned in the pid file does not exist.
    (You could simulate this with “pid” not being set in conf, see 2. above).

    Example output for 3.:
    # invoke-rc.d php5-fpm restart
    Gracefully shutting down php5-fpm kill: 138: No such process

    …………………………….. failed. Use force-exit
    Starting php5-fpm Jul xx xx:xx:02.932275 [ALERT] [pool www] pm.max_spare_servers(0) must be a positive value
    Jul xx xx:xx:02.932335 [ERROR] failed to post process the configuration
    failed
    invoke-rc.d: initscript php5-fpm, action “restart” failed.

    Once 1. and 2. are solved / worked around / configured, it works great.

    Thanks a lot.

  17. By Guillaume Plessis on Jul 27, 2010 | Reply

    @Daniel Hahler : thanks for this precious feedback. Yes, all the process management values have to be explicitely defined.

  18. By Daniel Hahler on Jul 27, 2010 | Reply

    Yes, I know that they have to be defined, but I consider this to be uncomfortable and hope that all three mentioned issues get fixed in the next upload:
    instead of providing the defaults as comments, why not just provide them as actual settings.
    Especially with “pid” this is very much required (otherwise the init script will not work properly).

    Thinking about it, the init script should parse php5-fpm.conf for the “pid” setting and use this, while aborting/warning if it is not setup; but it would be setup by default.

    Thanks for the Update!

    I’m struggling with PHP 5.3.3 on Ubuntu 10.04. Seems the automatic update didn’t install libapache2-mod-php5. Once I’ve try to manually install it apt complains about missing libicu38 and libkrb53.

    It’s my personal development machine. So currently it’s not a big deal that it’s not working. Would be nice if someone knew how to fix this.

    @Niels : Ubuntu is not supported by Dotdeb. But it works, with some workaround. For example :

    Where to get this (php5-fpm.pid) ?

    @Sergey : the pidfile is /var/run/php5-fpm.pid, is defined in /etc/init.d/php5-fpm and will be treated as a variable from /etc/php5/fpm/php5-fpm.conf in the next release of the Dotdeb package of PHP 5.3

    Does it mean that the current package of PHP 5.3.3 from dotdeb is not functional to use with FPM ?

    @Sergey : it works like a charm. You just can’t configure the path to the pid file.

  31. By Sergey on Aug 3, 2010 | Reply

    To configure the path to the file ‘php5-fpm.pid’, you should have this file first. But after installation I’ve made full disk search and was not able to find it anywhere, including following suggested locations

    /var/run/php
    /etc/php5/fpm

    the only file I found was ‘php5-fpm’ in
    /etc/init.d/
    but without “pid” extension.

  32. By Guillaume Plessis on Aug 3, 2010 | Reply

    @Sergey : from my previous comment :

    PID file : /var/run/php5-fpm.pid
    init script : /etc/init.d/php5-fpm
    configuration : /etc/php5/fpm/php5-fpm.conf

    Please note that the PID file is created at the first launch of /etc/init.d/php5-fpm. It’s just a simple text file containing the PID of the master php5-fpm process.

    @Greg :
    1. Try to isolate the code that leads to segfaults by logging the Apache PID in the access.log. Tell us when you found it.
    2. Could you please give us a link to a phpinfo()? and the list of activated Apache modules too?
    3. Are you running a “pure” Debian Lenny?

    The segfault seems to be related to openssl duplicate initialization problems with php5-curl and https

    Maybe I’m wrong but instructions are a bit ambigous to me:

    In addition to the 2 previous standard repository lines ? should we have 4 lines or either 2 first OR 2 last ?

    it’s just you.
    adding means adding, not replacing.
    the php53 repository contains only the php5.3 packages with higher priority, so if you would only add the php53 repo, then you would loose the mysql-server-5.1 for example.
    so yes, if you need the php 5.3 packages, then you have to add 4 lines to your sources.list

    Hi,
    one thing which is disturbing i’ve noticed : now squeeze is frozen and contains php 5.3.2.
    When updating from lenny to squeeze, php command line is removed and when trying to reinstall it, debian cant install it, because the lenny used php5.3.3 and now squeeze does not want to update to PHP 5.3.2 (which is normal but frustating).

    @spirit : php5 is an empty metapackage. Try to install the wanted flavour of php5 directly : php5-cli, php5-cgi, php5-fpm ou libapache2-mod-php5. Which apache-mpm are you using? libapache2-mod-php5 needs prefork or itk. The others are not safe.

    Désolé.

    Petite question, comment faire pour que lorsque le même package existe dans le repo dotdeb et dans mon repo principal pour qu’il installe celui de dotdeb?

    En tous cas bravo pour cette initiative qu’est dotdeb, ca aide bcp :)

    @spirit : il faut utiliser l’apt-pinning. Une bonne introduction : http://www.andesi.org/paquets/le-package-pinning-mixer-les-distributions

    Any plan to have graphicsmagick pecl package ?

  64. By Guillaume Plessis on Sep 27, 2010 | Reply

    @spirit : not yet, due to dependencies. Maybe with squeeze.

    What about gearman ?

    Something I don’t understand… why are there those pecl packages http://php53.dotdeb.org/dists/stable/php5-pecl/ ? Can’t we install those running pecl install gmagick?

    Ah ah… I’m so noob for this questions

    @spirit : Dotdeb can not package all the PECL extensions. The packages from php5-pecl are the most common.

    If you want to build your own package (gearman, gmagick), read this article : http://www.dotdeb.org/2008/09/25/how-to-package-php-extensions-by-yourself/

    About php5-gmagick, it depends GraphicMagicks 1.2.6+ that is not present in Lenny.

    Hello.

    I would like to remove this package, but I think your repository is missing some files, so I cannot use standard “aptitude remove” option:

    Failed to fetch http://php53.dotdeb.org/dists/lenny/php5/binary-amd64/php5-cg i_5.3.3-0.dotdeb.0_amd64.deb: 404 Not Found

    Is it possible to fix somehow.
    Thank you.

    @Sergey : please run “aptitude update” to resfresh your package list

    Thank you. It works now :) The update appeared to have new PHP 5.3.3 Stable so no need for me to remove it.

    pm.max_requests = 0

    same question about following parameters:

    rlimit_files = 5000
    rlimit_core = 0
    php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 256M

    Any smart boys or girls who is not greedy to share it’s knowledge ? :)

    So since php5.3.3 now includes php-fpm and is included in Debian squeeze… how would one use nginx and php-fpm with the built-in (not the dotdeb) packages? I found zero info on the fpm support in squeeze so far

    @Marc : Squeeze does not include php5-fpm without Dotdeb
